The Samsung Omnia W announced yesterday, is a Windows Phone 7.5 phone (Mango) that is all ready to set sail to Europe. With looks borrowed from its predecessor the Omnia 7, this one happens to be lighter and thinner in comparison.
The Omnia W is fitted with a 5MP camera on the rear side, to capture and view moments on its 3.7 inch Super AMOLED display. Its 1.4GHz processor coupled with Mango interface has applications laid out in mosaic ‘live tiles’ to respond to a single touch. Plus, the handset’s 14.4Mbps HSPA connectivity allows speedy browsing with Internet Explorer 9 and Bing. Add to that, Microsoft Zune powered Picture Music and Video Hub along with a Game Hub providing the latest gaming experience, enabling users to chat with friends when engaged in a game.
“We are excited about the potential for Windows Phone and the possibilities it opens for Samsung customers. Mobile consumers increasingly expect to be socially networked through their phones anytime, anywhere, and instantly. They are looking for high-performance devices that are easy and intuitive to use, look great, and enable them to create and share rich multimedia content with ease. The Samsung Omnia W delivers on every count,” states JK Shin, President and Head of Samsung’s Mobile Communications business.
