Samsung G400 Soon To Be Available With Free Line Rental

By: Sarah Tilley

The latest mobile phone to be offered with 12 months free line rental is the Samsung G400. The Samsung G400 is a clamshell version of the very popular Samsung Soul. The Samsung Soul was (is) a very sleek and stylish 3G phone that has a very large external display screen. The Samsung G400 is also equipped with a 5 mega pixel camera, which is a very impressive resolution for a mobile phone. The Samsung G400 is a real treat for flip phone user’s ad it is sure to prove very popular, particularly on the 12 month free deals currently being offered.

The camera is a 5 mega pixel camera fitted to the Samsung G400 includes auto focus and a flash. The camera also has face recognition and image stabilization. Furthermore this mobile phone includes a secondary camera for video capture. At time of writing, Samsung have not stated the resolution of video capture for this phone. Strangely, the main camera is fitted onto the hinge of the G400 (the hinge of the flip part of the phone), so, when the phone is opened for use it faces the user. It is difficult to see the benefit of this design feature, if anything it could cause a problem with ones fingers getting in the way of the camera lens.

The most striking feature of the Samsung G400 is the oversized external display screen, which renders full colour at an impressive resolution of 320 x 240 pixels (2.2 inches). This is actually the same size and resolution as the internal display on this mobile phone, and really makes for an impressive looking mobile phone. Having no buttons, the extra large exterior display is touch sensitive and features haptic feedback for intuitive learning (this handset will teach you how to operate it!). The haptic feedback is similar to that used in some of the more recent Motorola phones

The Samsung G400 includes support for Bluetooth 2.0 and a web browser with support for Gmail! The Samsung G400 also has an expandable micro SD memory slot into which you can put your own memory cards. In terms of size, the Samsung G400 is reasonably compact measuring 103 x 52 x 15mm. At time of writing Samsung have yet to disclose the weight and battery life for this mobile phone handset.

The Samsung G400 is a tri band phone making ideal for those that travel (and need their phone) in different countries. This mobile phone also supports GPRS; however, it does not support WiFi, a real limitation compared to competing phones within this price bracket. In my opinion, a mobile phone of this specification should have WiFi as standard. However as the Samsung G400 is a an HSDPA (High Speed Download Packet Access) phone, you can still get download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbps in areas covered by a 3.G network, but, unlike WiFi you will have to pay your network provider on a per MB basis.

As expected with a phone of this calibre, the Samsung G400 is equipped with a multimedia player which supports all major media formats (MP3, WAV, i-melody, WMA, e-AAC+ and MMF) as well as video playback. There's an FM tuneable radio with RDS for those of you that like listening to the radio as well as your own downloaded tunes.

Although not released, there are already plans to offer the Samsung G400 with 12 months free line rental. These 12 month free line rental deals offer the customer the chance to claim cash back against their mobile phone bills meaning they can get a free Samsung G400 with free inclusive minutes and free inclusive texts without it costing them anything! However, it should be noted that the 12 month free deals do create a few obstacles for customers trying to claim their cash back, so are only suitable for the savviest and determined of bargain hunters!
