Introducing the Samsung HDICON: The multimedia powerhouse mobile phone with HD brilliance
Tuesday, 13 October 2009
Samsung Electronics Australia is further enhancing its iconic status as a leading mobile phone brand with the launch of the Samsung HDICON. The Samsung HDICON Smartphone is the first ever handset to feature 720P HD video recording on a mobile phone, allowing you to capture, enjoy and share all your multimedia content in high definition – seeing really is believing this new HD mobile experience!
Create your own cinematic experience for the first time through your mobile phone! Content on the Samsung HDICON comes alive through the bright and generous 3.7” AMOLED display providing breath taking sharpness and colour tone, even in direct sunlight. Combined with a dual stereo speaker, you can create a whole new world of mobile multimedia experiences wherever you are - whether it is running on the treadmill at the gym, enjoying a picnic out in the sun or sitting on the bus; bring the entertainment with you! Showing off photography skills and keeping friends and family up to date through social networks has never been quicker or easier. The Samsung HDICON 8-Megapixel camera provides full digital camera-quality photos but with the ability to bring them to life on your HD television – now that’s what we call true connectivity! The Samsung HDICON has built-in DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) offering endless possibilities to create your own home entertainment network by sharing content with DLNA compatible devices easily and wirelessly. Whether that be from the mobile phone to your HDTV, or PC to a phone, sharing content via DLNA lets you play back games, music, pictures or recorded videos in real-time. High definition and connectivity aren’t the only tricks the Samsung HDICON has up its sleeve. Enjoy super-fast internet access whilst the ‘accelerometer sensor’ accommodates your viewing preferences in either portrait or landscape so you can enjoy PC-like web-surfing on the generous screen. The Samsung HDICON is your one-stop-multimedia-shop; with 16GB built-in memory plus expandable memory up to 32GB, you’ll have plenty of storage space for all your movies, music and photos. “The Samsung HDICON forms an integral part of the ICON touchphone range in Australia. This is the first ever mobile to feature 720P HD video recording that lets you capture and share your favourite moments in HD. Out on the town, on the sporting field or watching movies - this mobile phone will become the new entertainment centre of your life!” said Tyler McGee, Vice President of Telecommunications, Samsung Australia. The Samsung HDICON will be available on Crazy John’s, Optus and Virgin plans from September 2009. The Samsung HDICON is one of five phones launched in Australia today as part of Samsung’s new touchphone range - ICON.
