There has been an influx of projector-infused mobile handsets in India, over the last year or so. Although, some that were more innovative than the others managed to fare quite well, they all lacked a certain refinement, that and the fact that they all ran on the Java platform didn’t make them overly appealing. Samsung’s previous iteration of the Beam didn’t quite make a big enough impact, but this latest edition with its Dual Core Cortex A9 1GHz processor and built-in nHD (640 x 360) projector should offer a significant amount of drool value. Like most other Samsung smartphones, this handset will be pre-equipped to handle popular video codecs and FLAC support for audio. It’ll come running Gingerbread but could also get a possible upgrade to ICS (yet to be confirmed).
The all new Samsung Beam will feature -
a 4.0-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 480 x 800 pixel resolution
3G, EDGE, Wi-Fi with DLNA support and hotspot functionality
Bluetooth 3.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0
GPS with A-GPS Support
5MP AF camera with 720p video recording and an LED flash
Secondary 1.3MP Camera
8GB internal memory plus microSD card support up to 32GB
