Cellphones Review: Samsung SCH-A970 Cellphones

Cellphones Review - Home >> Samsung

The Samsung SCH-A970 features clamshell design with the 2.0 mega pixel camera located on the left side of the phone. The phone?s display can be twisted 90 degrees in both directions, so you can hold the phone as a camcorder. In addition to the 2 mega pixels, the Samsung SCH-A970 offers 2x optical zoom. We have seen many phones with zoom, but most of them are with so called Digital Zoom which when used, worsens the picture quality. On the other hand, its optical counterpart offers real zoom without quality sacrifices. The problem with it is that it requires lens movement which usually translates in bulkier devices. Samsung has solved this problem by embedding the camera inside the flip hinge. Other features includes are Bluetooth, stereo speakers and advanced voice recognition.
