Samsung today announced the SGH-Z560, the latest slim handset to support high-speed HSDPA connectivity for up to 1.8 Mbps data throughput.
With a depth of mere 16 mm, the handset includes advanced features such as a 2.0-megapixel camera with auto focus, external touch music keys, 30 MB of internal memory, and microSD external memory slot. While slim, the Z560 uses a large 2.3-inch QVGA 262K-color LCD to ensure a clear and sharp screen image.
HSDPA, a new form of mobile broadband, is capable of transmitting data at speeds up to seven times faster than that of WCDMA. Users can enjoy large-scale multimedia downloads, such as DVD-quality movies and interactive multimedia games, with high-speed wireless Internet access comparable to speeds of fixed-line ADSL services.
The Z560 has been launched in France and Germany and will be released in other European countries shortly.
