Samsung didn’t pay much serious attention to smartphones until last year, but now in China it is going full blast. The company offers Symbian smartphones and Windows Mobile smartphones. It also offers Google Android smartphones. As if that was not enough, Samsung has also launched its own smartphone OS, called Bada. And Samsung is one of the five confirmed handset makers to do Microsoft Phone 7 smartphones.
A model called the Galaxy Beam comes with a built-in Pico projector that will shoot a 50-inch-wide video image on any white wall.
Early reviews have been very positive, in particular about the Super AMOLED screen that is considered the brightest and most impressive screen, second only to the iPhone. Except that the Galaxy screen size is 4 inches, and is remarkably clear in direct sunlight.
BSN reports Samsung sold about 280,000 Bada smartphones in China in one month.
