Samsung S5560 preview: First look

15 December 2009
Ah, the futuristic appeal of touchscreens - consumers can't get enough of them. Enter the Samsung S5560. With a 5MP camera and Wi-Fi, it's two widgets ahead of the competition. The rest mostly follows the recipe for success...

                      This seems to be finally out in India and is called as the "STAR SUPERB"

                      An awesome spec list is all what the phone seems to be all about. I think most people here don't really care about an updateable OS or mobile apps or even a processor with a name. Features on paper, sell.

                      The GSMArena team quotes "The Samsung S5560 lacks 3G connectivity but comes with Wi-Fi connectivity. It's hardly the solution that most carriers opt for (and carriers ARE the biggest cellphone contractors)" -- Affordable 3G services are only a dream to most here, with the spectrum auction ending up with the telephone operators having to recently cough up brobdingnagian sums of money to TRAI for no apparent reason. So, we NEED WiFi. Also, It is obvious that carriers don't really deal with handsets(other than CDMA) here. Retail vendors do.

                      With mobile subscribership of about 600 Million here, Samsung's sure listening and plans to knock down Nokia at its own game. And by-god, Star and Corby have helped. What IS this, if not a amalgamation of the two?

                        i think it's a good phon example for me: nice ,wifi(I can't use 3G only wifi),%mp camera with auto focus ,touch sreen so it's a good buy.

                                  This "First look" is posted "15 December 2009".
                                  Really ?
                                  Is this a FAKE preview ?
                                  Take a look at the "Sample photos" :
                                  - while the rest of Europe is reporting SEVERE snow-storms,
                                  your photos show a bright sunny day, people at Ferris wheel, flowers blossom, fresh leaved trees, and last - but not least - the sun at high altitude.
                                  ...
                                  You go figure...

                                  - - -

                                  Photo samples look fine ( well... for a phone ) - after all, they're all taken outdoors in bright daylight,
                                  but
                                  at the competiton run-through, the F480 is commented "..it's got a spectacular camera". That really should be "a horrible camera" : worst white-balance issue I've ever seen. On anything. Not even after you generous Post-processing were the samples in any way impressive.
                                  Not even for a phone.

                                  - - -

                                  Some EXIF data for the S5560, perhaps ?
                                  Thanx in advance.

                                        An additional satisfactory line up for Samsung. One drawback is the Battery that holds only 960mAh, which is not sufficient for the phones wide application.
