Samsung have announced three new mobile phones under the general name of the Shark series. The three described here are the first entrants into the range, with more to follow in the future. Samsung describe them as being multimedia and social networking phones, with plenty of power but without the high price of a smartphone.
The first is the Shark, or S5350, a bar-shaped phone with a metal casing. This is the S5350’s feature list:
- 2.2″ screen.
- 3.2 megapixel camera with video.
- 3G
- Bluetooth and MicroSD card slot.
The second phone in the range is the Shark 2, or S5550. This time the phone is a slider and a considerable higher spec than the other two new Shark phones:
- 2.2″ AMOLED screen.
- 5 megapixel camera with LED flash.
- 3G
- Bluetooth and MicroSD card slot.
Finally, the Shark 3 is also known as the S3550 and has a similar design to the Shark 2, but without the extra features:
- 2″ screen.
- 2 megapixel camera.
- MicroSD card slot.
All three phones have social networking widgets for Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and others, IM clients supporting services such as Gtalk and AIM, plus access to the main photo sharing sites. Two new features are also included across the range, Mobile Tracker and SOS Message. The tracker helps you locate a lost phone by sending an alert when the SIM is changed, while SOS Message can send an emergency message to a preset number.
All three phones will be released at the end of January, however Samsung have not stated where they will be on sale. They should do well though, as the designs are very attractive, recalling Samsung’s previous efforts but with a modern flair. More news when we get it.
