Samsung Poised to Unveil 3G Soul ‘Magic Touch’ Contextual Touchscreen 5MP Camera Cell Phone
Following on from the news concerning LG’s new LG-KF510 ultra slim slider cell phone and Sony Ericsson’s new G-Series G700i and G900i cell phones Samsung are poised to release full details concerning their new Soul cell phone – featuring ‘Magic Touch’ contextual touchscreen – at next week’s Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.
Of the few details that are known about Samsung’s 3G Soul one of the most interesting is the incorporation of a mini context sensitive touchscreen referred to as ‘Magic Touch’ which will display navigational icons related to whatever mode the Soul is currently in – for instance, a set of media controls when in music mode – thus allowing the Soul to be role adaptive whilst cutting down on unnecessary clutter. And, interestingly, it’s also being reported that the UI can be themed – though quite to what extent presently remains unclear.
Far from being a one trick pony, apart from the inclusion of a mini context sensitive touchscreen, the Soul, which is a mere 0.5” (12.8mm) in thickness, is also purported to offer an integral 5 megapixel camera with high intensity LED flash offering both image stabilisation and face detection as well as inbuilt media player with MP3/WMA support and FM radio capabilities utilising Bang & Olufsen’s ICEpower audio enhancement technology.
We await the official unveiling of Samsung’s Soul with great anticipation and, needless to say, we’ll endeavour to bring you a full run down of specifications the moment they become available next week.
UPDATE: 21/04/08 Samsung’s Soul gets a European release.
