Not all phones are super pointers latest technology. What's more: the market represented by the so-called smartphones is still very small (eight out of every ten mobile phones sold are still traditional). The public continues to feel mostly interested in phones like this Samsung Contour that the Korean company has just presented.
It is a terminal with a shell-like design, the kind that fold on itself, with a very simple table of characteristics that does not complicate its existence for its potential user. In addition, it is a device that, unlike modern smartphones, does not require a high investment. For only $ 50 (about 35.7 euros, to change), the user can take the Samsung Contour without operator ties.
Like most clamshell phones, the Samsung Contour has two displays. The outer panel has a diagonal of an inch, and serves to warn notifications (missed calls and SMS messages, mainly), whereas the inside is twice, developing two inches above TFT 128 x 160 pixels. It includes a camera, although its resolution is very low, with only 0.3 megapixels (or what is the same, quality VGA).
It does not have a 3G connection, although the Samsung Contour can access the Internet at 2G speed thanks to its GPRS / EDGE connection. In addition, it is surprising that it integrates a GPS sensor for geolocation. Does not develop the autonomy to be expected to a terminal of these benefits, contemplating a duration at full capacity of about 3.3 hours, reaching 200 hours in case of being at rest. In addition, the Samsung Contour has a Bluetooth 2.1 connection, as well as a 2.5-millimeter headphone jack.
