It seems that Samsung has been up and about in producing mobile phones that they are actually flooding the industry with different types of devices sporting different kinds of platforms. One of the handsets to watch out for from this multinational electronics company is the Samsung i5500 Galaxy 5, which will be marketed as the Samsung Europa Galaxy in some European areas.
This handset has a number of selling points from its Android v2.1 operating system and 600 MHz processor to its social networking and multimedia features.
Social Hub
Going through the features of the Samsung Europa Galaxy it would appear that the company designed this handset in such a way that makes it the perfect handset for the younger consumers. The integration of social networking applications via the Social Hub simplifies the way people connect and communicate with their contacts. They can easily email a contact or send a message, as well as view status updates and tweets from their friends and family since everything is pulled together in one screen.
The social networking experience on this handset is made more pleasurable by the phone's touch display panel. At 2.8 inches in measurement, this panel that can display 256K colors make icons and texts appear rich and vivid.
Although most suppose that this screen is actually smaller than those commonly seen in smartphones, a smaller panel helps in decreasing the dimensions and weight of the handset. As a result this mobile phone only measures 108 x 56 x 12 mm and weighs 102 grams.
User Interface
One of the features found in Samsung phones that the company is most proud of is the TouchWiz user interface which is known for the ease it provides consumers in navigating through menu options and applications. It's actually easy to use, all you have to do to access a certain application is to simply "drag and drop" the icon.
Another interesting thing from the Samsung Europa Galaxy worthy of much attention is the Swype feature. This pre-installed feature is an intuitive text input method developed by the same people behind the T9 text entry we've all seen in hundreds of models. The Swype is rather easy to use and easy to get used to. Whenever you want to enter a word you just need to place a finger over the first letter and swipe through the screen, stopping at each letter in the word. When you've reached the end of the word, you just have to lift your finger and the feature automatically enters a space.
Multimedia
Samsung Europa Galaxy is not just rich in user interface, it's also equipped with multimedia features starting with the 2-megapixel built in camera that can double as a video recorder. This handset also allows you to play back your videos, as well as music stored in either the 170 MB internal memory or 16 GB microSD memory card.
The media player and camera of this handset may be common to most smartphones, but what's interesting with this mobile phone is that it can be used as a TV remote control for compatible televisions.
Seeing that the features of this handset are unusual, you can expect this device to be a knock out among consumers.
