Samsung Z650i (SGH-Z650i)

Out now
5th November 2006

Long time "Samsung Watchers" will be able to deduce straight away that the Samsung Z650i is a 3G sliding i-mode phone, and might well correctly guess that the SGH-Z650i comes with a QVGA (320x240 pixel display), a 2 megapixel camera and expandable memory (although unlike the long overdue or possibly cancelled Z600, this isn't a smartphone).

At 95 grams, the Samsung Z650i is pretty lightweight for a 3G phone, and it still manages to pack a full set of features in, such as stereo Bluetooth, microSD expandable memory, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, an MP3/AAC player, web browser and email client and everything else you'd expect to find.

As well as having 2100 MHz 3G support, the Samsung Z650i has tri-band 900/1800/1900 MHz GSM plus GPRS and EDGE data. Overall size is 102x52x16mm and the SGH-Z650i weighs 95 grams, and has 2.5 hours of talktime on 3G (or 4 hours on 2G) with up to 8 days standby time.

Since the Samsung SGH-Z650i is an i-mode phone, it will only be offered by i-mode carriers. At present we understand that Bouygues Telecom of France will be offering it, with no word of other carriers at present. [Note: this has now been picked by O2 in the UK and other carriers]
