Samsung SGH-F300 Multimedia Phone Has Two Faces

samsung-f300.jpg

And we mean that literally.

Debuting this week at the ITU Telecom World 2006 event in Hong Kong, the Samsung SGH-F300 is a double-sided GSM triband cell phone and YP-Z5 look-alike multimedia player that supports MP3, AAC, and WMA tracks. The 2.1-inch TFT display (256K colors, 176 x 220) is good for watching MPEG-4 videos stored on the device's 100MB of internal memory or on microSD cards up to 2GB. There's also an FM radio, Bluetooth (A2DP), and touch-sensitive navigation pad.

Flip the F300 onto its face, tap the phone/multimedia switch key, and you've got yourself a full-featured candybar cell phone complete with 2-megapixel camera and GPRS/EDGE connectivity. Check out the diagram below for more details on phone layout and other features.

The Samsung SGH-F300 should be available (in Korea only?) beginning in the first quarter of 2007.

Does the second picture mean that it is from the other side or it is different device? I am confused.... :-O

The second picture is the other side, the phone has two sides. instead of having a blank face on the back it has an mp3 player. Very cool idea but I think that a case would be a must have since there is no "back" to set it down on. looks impossibly thin too.

WOW Samsung really has the idea..

I just got one but it is called samsung upstage here in U.S., So far it's been nothing but COOL!!! It may looked thin but one you put it on its second battery/case it's thicker. also you have 2 battery, one inside the phone and the other one on the case/phone cover.

Top MP3 Players
abi Editor's Choice
  • SanDisk Sansa Clip
    SanDisk Sansa Clip

    The Clip has a fantastic little form factor; cheap in build quality but very rugged. The interface is simple and relatively straight forward. The features on the clip are more or less average, mostly identical to the Sansa Express. However, what earns this player a spot in Editor’s Choice is the superb sound quality; you will not find another player at this size and price that can match it. Read the full review or go ahead and buy it.

  • Samsung P3
    Samsung P2

    The Samsung P2 was a success and the P3 is a very welcome and substantial update. Samsung has paid close attention to users on P2 issues and made great strides in addressing and improving most of them. The best feature of the P3 is its native video support. Most content you thow at it will playback without conversion on the great looking screen. Stop by the Samsung P3 forums for more details or check out our indepth P3 review.

  • Microsoft Zune 120
    Samsung P2

    Sure, many of us are not big fans of the walled garden, but there are a lot of great things going on with the Zune- sturdy hardware, ultra easy to use user interface, and a media player that is worthy of editor’s choice. The best part of the Zune is the constant firmware and software updates virtually giving you a new device at each major refresh. You can check out the latest Zune 120 & 16 review or stop by our Zune forums for the latest.

    Cowon iAudio D2

    The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice. You can find usually find it at Amazon for the best price and before to check out the review.

  • Phonak Audéo PFE
    Phonak PFE

    Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
