Samsung U900 Soul
The Samsung Soul might pack a 5-meg camera, but it’s the Magic Touchpad that laps up all the attention. Smarter than the average pad, it still serves next to no purpose, yet has a very pleasing tendency to make your friends go “wow”. You activate the camera by sliding out the keyboard, which extends to a rather flimsy 6-inch. You’re then presented with a 2.2-inch screen that’s approximately as bright as a supernova, but doesn’t refresh fast enough as it becomes a blurry mess if you move too quickly. Thankfully, the Soul still takes detailed photos, with white balance, exposure compensation, sensitivity, and face detection all on hand to offer help and advice i.e.-once you’ve scoured the dank depths of the menus to find them. Unfortunately, turning up late to the camphone ramp walk and doing the slip is a weak LED flash, losing this a star…
We Say - The Soul is stylish and takes great shots, but it’s too fiddly to be the true {lsquo}cam-phone of champions’, as revealed to mortals such as we in The Book of Zarg.
T3 rating 4/5
Price: Rs 20,585
Stable-mates - Samsung G600 (Rs 18,999) : Samsung’s given the G600 a paint job. Touting a 5-meg camera it’s good for close-ups, but there’s no 3G and the flash is LED.
Samsung F490(Rs 22,885): The 5-meg cam of this touch-screen phone with autofocus takes mighty fine photos, we reckon.
