Samsung unveils phone range where price is right

MANILA, Philippines - Now, owning a smartphone will no longer cost you an arm and a leg, thanks to mobile technology leader Samsung.

Complementing its top-of-the-line models, Samsung recently launched the fab four in value-for-money smartphones via a game show-inspired event at K-Pub. On hand to welcome the guests were Samsung officials headed by Samsung Mobile’s business unit director Eric Sulit, and product marketing group head Coco Domingo.

Packed with advanced features, this budget-friendly line is nothing short of what is expected from a smartphone. In fact, the most surprising feature is the price.

“In this day and age, we believe everyone deserves to have a smartphone,” declares Eric Sulit. “We at Samsung are always looking for ways to bring technology into the hands of as many Filipinos as possible, and these Samsung large-screen, dual-SIM smartphones are our way of making that vision happen.”

Dubbed as the Smart Choice Series smartphones, the four models introduced during the launch include the Samsung Galaxy S Duos, Galaxy Core, Galaxy Win, and Galaxy Grand.

The Samsung Galaxy S Duos is packed with frequently used smartphone features and more. It runs on Android 4.1 Ice Cream Sandwich, has a built-in organizer, a photo and video editor, and document viewer; it also has a card slot for a microSD to expand its capacity up to 32GB. It also has a five-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front camera.

The Samsung Galaxy Core, on the other hand, aside from its sleek design, allows people on the go to do multiple tasks seamlessly. This 4.3-inch handset has a five-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a VGA front camera, an 8GB internal storage and a microSD slot, and a slew of other features such as Motion UI (Shake & Top to Bottom), Smart Stay, Smart Alert, Best Shot, and S Voice.

Everyone will surely find a winner in the Samsung Galaxy Win. In addition to its 1.2 GhZ Quad Core fast processor, the Galaxy Win boasts a 4.7-inch screen, Motion UI (Shake & Turn to Mute) and SMART alert.

Lastly, the Samsung Galaxy Grand sports a five-inch screen for ease in viewing and an impressive eight-megapixel rear camera complete with LED flash. It has a multi-window feature that allows users to multi-task with ease, and, like the other three models, it’s great for users with two active SIM cards. The Galaxy Grand also has features such as the Smart Stay, Direct Call, S Voice, Pop-Up Play and All Share Play.

By putting the advantages of smartphones within easy reach, Samsung has made these four new phones the smart choices to meet the mobile communication demands of today’s dynamic generation.
