Having dominated the touchscreen game this year, Samsung intend to shake up the fashion phone market in 2010 with a pair of sexy handsets – meet the Divas.
The Samsung S7070 Diva is a cute revamp of the hugely successful Tocco Lite, sporting a Hollywood-gnasher white finish and luxurious quilted rear cover. Specifications are also reminiscent of the multi-million selling phone with a 3.2-inch resistve touch screen, 3 megapixel camera, FM radio with RDS and the familiar TouchWiz interface.
Where the S7070 earns its diva status is in its social networking functionality, with a gem-shaped option key, the ability to receive live notifications from social networks like Facebook, MySpace and Twitter (all about the ‘pull’ updates, I told you so!) and the always impressive ability to silence a call by turning the handset onto its face.
How boujis!
The 3MP camera on the Samsung S7070 Diva has tweakable settings to turn those snaps into profile-worthy portraits, with Beauty effect (which makes you beautiful, natch) and Lomo effect, which seems to be the digital equivalent of smearing Vaseline onto a fisheye lens.
The Samsung S5150 Diva folder is a rare clamshell handset from the Korean manufacturer, with a mirrored cover housing an external screen to display the time and incoming messages.
Hinging on arresting looks as opposed to cutting-edge features, the S5150 eschews a touchscreen and rocks an understated yet functional user interface, giving an old-school feel reminiscent of early Sony Ericsson phones…hardly a bad thing.
These fancy phones should be sashaying into stores from early next year, and we’re sure that their entrance will be overstated and showy, like the Divas they are…SSamsung Diva
