After the much awaited guesses and leaks, Samsung has finally confirmed its Continuum phone for Verizon. The phone scheduled for shipment on November 11th, is the first Smarthphone with a dedicated ticker display. What it means – Samsung is referring to the secondary 1.8-inch colour screen with capacitive touch buttons below.
We expect the specs to be in line with Galaxy S-series handsets, except for the ticker. However, hands-down information will be revealed at Samsung’s Mobile event, today. Let’s hear the specs in the interim
- 3.4-inch Super AMOLED primary display, 1.8-inch Super AMOLED secondary “ticker” display.
- “Grip sensor” allows you touch the bottom sides of the phone to light up the ticker.
- Android 2.1 (we expected a better version, hope they’ll upgrade soon).
- Bing Maps / Bing Search (Google Maps would have been a better option)
- Samsung 1GHz Hummingbird processor
- Six-axis sensor with accelerometer
- 5- megapixel camera, shoots 720p video
- 802.11n & Wi-Fi.
- 8GB microSD card
The icing on the cake – It’s worth $200 with two-year contract, and you get $100 mail-in rebate.
Viola! I’m eagerly waiting for it. How about you?
