The world’s slimmest mobile phone, the Samsung U600 has been on the market for quite some time, but it’s still far from being considered obsolete. On the contrary, the phone still manages to make an impression, when placed side by side with the newer models. The Samsung U600 comes under Samsung’s Ultra Edition Range II banner, and is just 11mm thick. At the same time, the phone is packed with some great advanced features, just to ensure that it becomes a nice mix of style and substance.
Like all contemporary devices, even the Samsung U600 is impressive in terms of multimedia features. Its highlights are a 3.2 MP camera and a competent music player. Although the camera capability is good, it still doesn’t make a good impression. The camera comes without a xenon flash and the weak LED photo light makes photography in the dark difficult. In addition, the slow autofocus causes discomfort when capturing moving objects. But there are some really great things about the camera, too. It provides enough control for settings, including a macro mode, and the ability to change ISO settings.
In terms of musical prowess, the Samsung U600 can hold its own with any acclaimed music phone. The sound of the player is good and instantly increases the adrenaline. This is made possible by the integrated digital power amplifier, developed specifically for Samsung by Bang & Olufsen. Plus, navigation becomes easy with Quick PC Sync software. But the best part of the Samsung U600 is its user interface. The interface is so advanced, versatile and usable that it’s on a par with Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series. Probably the only disappointing factor in the Samsung U600’s musical prowess is that the device lacks a 3.5mm headphone jack.
In terms of connectivity, the Samsung U600 comes with quad-band GSM/GPRS. The phone can also be connected to the PC via USB for synchronization. Samsung U600 is also a special gift for lovers of social networks. The phone can scan business card images and store the data for future use.
Samsung U600 comes in many elegant colors: Black, Sapphire Blue, Garnet Red, Copper Gold, and Platinum Metal.
