Samsung received great reviews for their Galaxy lineup of handsets, which made them launch more additions to the Galaxy series; each handset specifically designed for a particular class of users, namely the youth, business people etc. The Galaxy Y series was Samsung’s recent success. Now that the Galaxy series attained huge popularity and achieved critical reception, Samsung is intending to launch a few handsets outside the Galaxy lineup, the latest which is due to be launched being Samsung Brightside.
A few months back, there were quite a few reports claiming the arrival of Samsung Brightside on Verizon. It remained as a speculation, until recently as many sites received proof that the Brightside is on its way to Verizon. The handset first made news by the name of Samsung U380. But now, even its equipment guide is making news. An anonymous source recently let out a product equipment guide, which had details about the U380 also known as Samsung Brightside. Reportedly, the handset will be out for sale from the first day of next month.
If you think that a handset with such hype will hold something spectacular, you are mistaken. The Samsung Brightside is a basic mobile handset with QWERTY keyboard and some decent features. But the design is excellent though.
The features known about the Samsung Brightside are:
- 3.1 capacitive Touchscreen display
- 3.2 Megapixel rear camera
- microSD card support with expandable memory
- Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
- One touch social access features
- 256 MB internal storage
- Bluetooth connectivity v2.1 with EDR
It’s not just Samsung’s high priced smartphones which have great demand. Even basic phones from Samsung are a good choice, if you prefer a normal handset to a smartphone. Although, many details of Samsung Brightside are still not known, the handset is expected to come at an affordable price tag. Brightside would most likely be one of the most affordably priced handset on Verizon, after its release.
