14 DAY TRIAL // Together with the unveiling of W510, F268, L700, J800 and M150, Samsung has also announced the upcoming release of three mobile phones from what seems to be a new Impact series of handsets. All three new devices have "Impact" in their name and are entry-level phones, most probably targeted for emerging markets.
The first of the three new handsets presented by the South Korean company is called "Samsung Impact" and comes in a slider form factor. It has a metallic appearance and, when closed, it measures 95 x 47.1 x 17.5 millimeters. Its features are: a 1.8 inch CSTN display with 128 x 160 pixels and 65K colors, a 3.5mm headset jack, Music player, FM radio, dedicated music keys, speakerphone, mobile tracker, Java games, SOS message, USB 2.0 and 20MB of internal memory, expandable with a microSD card. Not too bad for a device that will probably have a very affordable price.
"Samsung Impact SF" is the second new entry-level phone. This is a clamshell that comes without an external display, featuring only an internal CSTN one of 1.8 inches, 65K colors and 128 x 160 pixels. The rest of its specs include FM radio, mobile tracker, speakerphone, USB 2.0 and 4MB of built-in memory. The Impact SF measures 89.9 x 46 x 18.7 millimeters (when not flipped) and comes with a changeable cover.
"Samsung Impact B" is the Impact with the fewest features on board. The handset is a candybar that measures 105 x 44.5 x 14 millimeters and offers the following: a display similar to the ones of the other new phones (1.8 inches, 65K colors and 128 x 160 pixels), FM radio, USB 2.0, speakerphone, Java games and 4MB of internal memory.
All three Impact phones feature dual-band GSM connectivity and will be released in the next few months.
