Samsung Launches Ultra Edition 3G Handsets in Europe Photo 1

Wed Aug 30, 2006 11:18 am

Samsung today unveiled a new line of 3G mobile phones as part of their Ultra Edition design-led range. Launched at the Louvre Museum in Paris, the Ultra Edition 3G range also includes the world's slimmest 3G mobile handset ever, the Ultra Edition 8.4 (Z370).

Leading the collection is the Ultra Edition 13.8 (Z720), the world's first and thinnest HSDPA slide-up mobile which fits in at a slim 13.8 mm. This technology comes packed with a 3.0-megapixel camera and auto focus. It also includes a sizeable 2.1" QVGA display and supports WAP 2.0 and HTML browsing. In order to fully enjoy all of the benefits of 3G, the Ultra Edition 13.8 also includes a second camera for video calling, while the document viewer, voice memo and PIM features will keep even the busiest executive on top of their workload.

Possessing an ultra slim depth of only 8.4 mm and weighing a mere 71 grams, the Ultra Edition 8.4 (Z370) is the world's slimmest 3G handset. This mobile houses a large landscape 1.93" TFT display with dual 2.0-megapixel and VGA cameras. Capable of playing music with multiple audio formats and Java-enabled games, the Z370 is ideal for entertainment. The document viewer, speaker phone, micro-SD card slot and host of PIM functions ensure that there'll always be time for work as well as play.

Finally, completing the collection is the distinctive Ultra Edition 11.8 (Z620), the world's slimmest HSDPA phone. The Z620 fits into the slim stakes with a profile of just 11.8 mm. Key features include an embedded rotating 2.0-megapixel camera with 3x zoom that is capable of taking photos from all directions and which can double as a video camera to shoot up to an hour of QVGA recording. The 2.3" QVGA display allows for viewing multimedia content and also doubles as a window for photo caller ID.

The Ultra Edition range means that slim doesn't have to be delicate, thanks to the use of new materials such as magnesium and fiber glass infused plastic in their design.

Samsung's Ultra Edition 3G handsets will be available throughout Europe by end of this year.
