In Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Samsung has launch many of new phones, one of which is the SGH-F480. It is a stylish slim candybar with combination of brushed aluminum and glossy black for the finishing. SGH-F480 is the first to use a new TouchWiz interface, which is the successor of the Croix. This interface makes the phone look really contemporary and uses the strong sides of the software, used in other Samsungs. The F480 definitely catches the eye, so continue reading this preview for more information.
The F480 can stand next to the Prada and Armani phones with its head high up as it definitely looks great. Additionally, it can have a leather cover on the back (half of it) and front, making it look as a fashion accessory. The unit we currently use is of this type, but we also saw one without the leather – it is just the battery cover which is different.
The larger part of the front is occupied by the 2.8” large QVGA touch sensitive display; above it is the eaerpiece and the video camera lens, while below are the send, shortcut and end keys. The screen uses capacitive sensing technology. Strangely, this prototype reacts better than the Armani and the F700, which we didn’t really like, but still we guess that even the final version will be at least a step behind the best one in this aspect we’ve used – the iPhone.
