Samsung Soul (SGH-U900)

 Samsung Soul Discontinued
11th February 2008

Samsung's flagship device for 2008, the Samsung Soul is a dual-screen slider with HSDPA high-speed data and a 5 megapixel digital camera.

The Soul is meant to be the last "Ultra" series device, and Samsung say that SOUL stands for "Spirit of ULtra".. a pretty silly name, but that's marketing for you. Despite the name, the Samsung Soul is an interesting device.

As we said, this is a dual-screen phone. The main navigation panel is actually a touch sensitive display, where the keys change depending on what the handset is doing. This "Magic Touch" panel is a real active display (we think it is based on OLED technology), rather than the standard hidden keys we have seen elsewhere.

On the back is a five megapixel camera, which we understand has autofocus and flash. Samsung say that the Soul's camera also has image stabilisation and face detection.. remember that Samsung also make standalone digital cameras, so they have some expertise here.

 Samsung SGH-U900 Soul This is a HSDPA 3.5G phone with download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps. It has Bluetooth, but no WiFi. Memory is expandable using microSD cards, and the main display is a 2.2" 240 x 320 pixel panel. The Samsung Soul is a pretty slim device at 12.9mm depth. There's an MP3 player and FM radio too.

One interesting feature is the Soul's customisable themes, including one that carries on the handset's brushed metallic look into the interface itself. Also, the Soul features Bang & Olufsen enhanced audio for multimedia playback.

As ever, Samsung haven't told us all the details of the Soul. Little things such as battery life, GSM / UMTS frequencies and even weight have been omitted. We do know that the Soul should be available from April 2008 in certain markets, although no pricing has been given.
