Samsung has created a new wave in mobile industry with the launch of its first watch phone Samsung S9110, giving completion to LG GD910. Samsung S9110 is the thinnest phone measuring 11.98mm while its competitor LG GD910 has a thickness of 13.9mm.
With sporty looks it looks like a dream come true for those gadget freaks who always wanted to feel such James Bond gadgets in real life.
Samsung S9110 Wrist Phone
Features:
The considerable features of Samsung S9110 wrist phone are 1.76 inch glass, scratch proof touchscreen, stainless steel body with many other facilities such as Bluetooth 2.1, Outlook Email sync, MP3 Player, 2.1 speakerphone and voice recognition system. Some other features are 176 x 220 pixel, 262k color TFT TSP display, 40 MB memory, Li-Ion 630 mAh battery and 57.5 x 41.1 x 11.98mm / 91g footprint.
Some Disadvantage:
Although it is not supporting 3G features and thus you may lack features like Video calls and high rate data transfer but still it looks like a hard competitor to LG. Also memory is no expandable so you have to be satisfied with 40 MB. You will also lack data transfer tools such as HSCSD, EDGE, 3G, WLAN Infrared and USB. But this phone is made basically for handy use so must compromise on these.
Cost:
Cost of Samsung S9110 is €450 that is approximately $639, seems little higher but looking at the features and look, it’s reasonable.
