New Delhi - December 4, 2006
- Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. today unveiled three
new additions to the Ultra portfolio:
Ultra Music, Ultra
Video, and Ultra
Messaging.
The Samsung Ultra Music is
a complete music player with superb sound quality.
It is equipped with digital power amp offering dedicated music
user interface that makes it
easy to navigate through the song list. Additionally,
it has a stereo FM radio and a Quick PC Sync allowing users
to create a music library and
play lists. Ultra Music still has all the extra
features consumers have come to expect, including a 2.0 mega-pixel
camera, long-lasting battery
life and Bluetooth. The handset design is clever,
with a dual face that's both unique and stylish. On one side is a
large, clear screen with a sweep
touch key that makes navigation very
intuitive. On the other
side is the fully functional phone that can be used while
listening to music.
The Samsung Ultra Video is
the ultimate personal multimedia device. It is the
first phone to support the DivX codec, allowing users to view a large
array of video content including
MPEG-4, H.264, WMV and AVI files. It also has
a PMP function with wide 2.4" screen as well as a 2.0 mega-pixel
camera. The Ultra Video has
a smart design to go with its cutting-edge features.
Like the Ultra Music, it's got dual faces - one side is a phone
while the other contains a large
screen and intuitive controls for multimedia.
It has a unique swivel design for multimedia content. The
screen swivels away from the
controls to adjust the viewing angle or form a
stand to place the device
down. It has an internal memory of 400 MBs and the
memory is expandable up to 2GBs using the microSD card. With 2GBs of
memory, it enables the user
to view about 2 movies (each about two hours long.)
Finally, Samsung Ultra Messaging is a robust, slim, smart device that blends the feature-rich, desktop functionality of the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform with multimedia capabilities so users can work on the go, stay in touch with family and friends or just have some fun. This perfect balance of work and play makes the Ultra Messaging desirable to both the mobile business professional and the general consumer who also requires more data-driven functions such as e-mail, music and video.
Ultra Messaging is the first
smartphone that runs on the HSDPA network, allowing
for faster data transfer speeds. It is also the first smartphone
to support web applications
such as podcasting RSS Feeder. The device offers
high-speed connectivity through WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 EDR allowing
faster connections for faster
communications. All of these features are packed
into a slim design, also including a MP3 player and built-in voice
recognition. The Ultra Messaging
is a true messaging device. It is equipped
with a QWERTY keypad with
wheel key, perfectly designed for composing messages
or e-mails.
Kitae Lee, President of Samsung's Telecommunications Network Business, explained: "Samsung's latest additions to the Ultra Edition have the best of design and technology in each phone. All three products exemplify the convergence of myriad technologies in mobile phones. These products are tailor-made to satisfy consumers' needs whether it be music, video or messaging."
He added: "We will continue to lead the wireless industry with premier technologies and innovative products to enhance consumer's lifestyles."
