Samsung Electronics is launching a cutting-edge mobile phone that has combined the Bluetooth with the Voice Recognition technology. Announcing that it has released the 'Bluetooth Voice Recognition Phone' into the European market, the SGH-E620 can make calls using one's voice via a bluetooth headset.

The Samsung SGH-E620 exhibits a state-of-the-art technology of placing a call to the person whose name has been called out into the bluetooth headset, by automatically searching the phone book of the mobile phone that is placed at a distance away from the user.

Bluetooth headsets have been used in the past to allow wireless call reception, however, when it comes to making a wireless call via a bluetooth headset, the SGH-E620 is the first of its kind. Compared to the existing gadget which needs to be placed close to the mouth, the SGH-E620 is much easier to use, and its voice recognition capacity has also been greatly enhanced. Furthermore, since the calls can be made with the mobile phones left untouched inside one's bag or pocket, it has become much more convenient.

In the past, even when using the voice recognition functionality, the mobile phone had to be switched over to stand-by mode first before a call was placed. However, with the bluetooth voice recognition technology, there is no need to lay hands on the mobile phone. As such, calls can be placed safely even when one is driving a car. A 'speaker independent voice recognition' technology has been adopted to SGH-E620 so that voice recognition won't be limited to the voice type. The SGH-E620 supports 5 languages, namely English, French, Spanish, German and Italian.

In addition to the bluetooth functionality, SGH-E620 has a refined intenna design and comes equipped with 1-megapixel camera, video wallpaper, silver nano anti-bacteria functionality, speakerphone and 64 polyphonic ringtones among others. Particularly eye-catching features are the video wallpaper functionality, which displays moving pictures for 10~30 seconds every time the mobile phone is switched over to standby mode, and the silver nano health coating.

A Samsung official explained, "Samsung Electronics is planning to expand the range of languages supported by the bluetooth voice recognition technology, that is, to cover Chinese and Russian, and certainly Korean for release into the Korean market." He further added, "Samsung will eventually lead the global bluetooth market by further strengthening the bluetooth technology so that Samsung mobile phones become even more competitive."
