Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia – 7 October, 2008 – Samsung Electronics Malaysia (SME) Sdn Bhd., a leading mobile phone and telecommunication equipment provider, today announced the launch of Samsung G400, the latest dual screen clamshell.
Samsung G400 inherits the look and feel of Samsung’s flagship product Soul with unique premium exterior and graphical user interface design identity. Samsung has introduced a clamshell version of Soul, continuing its leadership in clamshell form factor as well as sliders. Samsung G400 has a luxurious high gloss metallic finish with a hairline texture.

Similar to Soul, the Samsung G400 also offers a new series of graphic user interfaces (GUI) providing three different options for users. With the GUI skin, users can change the UI according to their personal tastes. Display skins are customizable with various options such as background images, fonts and colors.

In addition to an internal 2.22 TFT LCD display, Samsung’s G400 has a 2.22” external full touch screen display. With the external full touch display, users can operate multimedia features without flipping open the phone and haptic vibration feedback is given when user uses full touch screen.

Seamless operation of multimedia features including FM radio, music, camera, and photo album is possible through the full touch external display and normal phone centric operations can be utilized using the internal display. When the phone is in idle status, users have an option of displaying wallpaper, digital clock, analogue clock, or calendar modes through the external display. Additionally, notifications for SMS/MMS as well as alarm or schedules can be viewed directly on the large external display.

Wong Man Ngee, Head of Marketing, Mobile Phone Marketing, Samsung Malaysia Electronics (SME) Sdn Bhd. said that the G400 will appeal to the fashion conscious consumer who is looking for a stylish infotainment mobile phone.

“This is also in line with Samsung’s aim to capture 30% of the market share by end of the year, as the G400 will surely be a contributor to achieve that target,” Wong added.

Samsung G400 is equipped with the latest imaging solutions including a 5 megapixel camera. Many up-to-date digital camera features such as automatic face detection, image stabilizer and Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) are equipped. Users can enjoy fast Internet access through the 7.2 Mbps High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) browser and share images or video taken with the phone. With a sub camera, users are able to enjoy video telephony under HSDPA networks.
The Samsung G400 has a recommended retail price of RM1, 499.00 and is now readily available in Malaysia.

Very seldom to see high-end clamshell handphone coming out. Most of the high-end market are filled with sliding and touch screen phone.

Way to go Samsung.

I never like flip phones.

Flip phone is going to extintion in the market soon, if no more high end product coming out. The peak period was the Legendary Motorola Startec and V3.

After that no more product that will attract the comsumer. Even the SE W980 looks so so only, with all the plasticky material. At lease Samsung will not stingy on its material. Metallic part make it looks so elegance.

According to Engadget, V3 is still the hottest selling phone in US today, above iPhone!

I can't believe that Old V3 still best seller. American so like the Motorola.
