SAMSUNG F490 CHARCOAL GRAY

Today the South Korean handset manufacturer officially unveiled Samsung F490 Charcoal Gray, a rich multimedia mobile phone with all-over 3.2-inch display, no hardware keypad and 5 megapixel camera running on the award-wining Croix UI.

The tri-band HSDPA/EDGE-enabled Samsung F490 Charcoal Gray, a phone we've recently wrote about, looks like the younger brother of Samsung F700 since it features no hardware keyboard and is completed in bar form factor. No doubt the F490 Charcoal Gray has its own strengths too, standing at only 11.8mm thickness with rounded corners and glossy surface, loaded with some nice features on board.

The extra large 3.2-inch TFT touchscreen with 240 x 432 pixels resolution occupies almost the entire front panel, leaving only a small space bellow for the call and end keys, which are also touch sensitive.

The haptic feedback further facilitates the phone handling, offering tangible assurance that the touchscreen has accepted your command. The 16:9 widescreen ratio of the display benefits picture, video and internet browsing, too. The video player supports WMV, MPEG4, H.263, H.264 file formats in up to VGA resolution at 30fps.

Other intriguing feature is the 5 megapixel camera with built-in LED flash but sadly no autofocus. This is the first 5-megapixel camera fitted into a mobile phone that lacks autofocus to assist the user.

The camera is also capable of recording MPEG4 clips with QVGA resolution at 15 fps. Storing favorite video files, music and pictures is easy with the 130 MB on-board memory and slot for microSD cards.

Music addicts will appreciate the standard 3.5mm audio jack of Samsung F490 Charcoal Gray. As the Bluetooth supports A2DP profile, users will be able to listen to music on wireless stereo headsets, too.

A nice final touch gives the pre-installed Google Search application and the optimized full HTML web browser (NetFront 3.4).
