Samsung Galaxy Gio is a Feature Rich Affordable Android

The Nokia 5800 is probably the phone that kick started the revolution of the touch screen mobile phone since the mid-range smartphone segment, but it has not been properly replaced by Nokia. So, plenty of other manufacturers are carving up to take a slice of the market share enjoyed by the Nokia 5800. The Samsung Galaxy Gio is one such phone and it is available in the United Kingdom as we speak in order to do exactly that. Given the incredible expertise that has been built following the success of the Samsung Galaxy S, it seems to be a no-brainer that Samsung would get this right in terms of features and pricing.

They have definitely got it spot on in terms of features, which will include a 3.2 inch screen that is going to display a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels. Even though this might not be the exactly a resolution of the Nokia 5800, it is much more than the competition that is currently on sale can offer. This along with the fact that the screen is capacitive means that the Samsung Galaxy Gio will be having quite a point to make over its rivals. The presence of all these features in the display department will be drowned out by the presence of the TouchWiz 3.0 user interface, which is definitely a user interface to die for.

The Samsung Galaxy Gio will have the ability to bring about a number of changes to the segment due to the introduction of a 3.15 megapixel camera that has the autofocus feature. This feature is normally present in the high-end phones, but the presence of the auto focus on the mid-range smartphone segment is really the outstanding feature of the new Samsung Galaxy Gio. The presence of this feature ensures that you can even take close-up shots with utmost clarity. The Samsung Galaxy Gio will be offering the QVGA recording option that will be done at a frame rate of 15 frames per second, which is reasonable.

The Samsung Galaxy Gio, though, does not come with the secondary camera, despite the presence of the 3G and Wi-Fi options in the phone. The 3G option in the Samsung Galaxy Gio is of particular importance given that it can handle up to 7.2 Mb per second in terms of the download speeds. This is much more than the competition can currently offer, which explains the significance of the Samsung Galaxy Gio. The phone will also offer the 800 MHz processor to run the Android operating system, which is what you can imagine of the mid-range segment. The Swype text input method is present in the Samsung Galaxy Gio by default. It has been so successful that many applications have been developed for other operating systems as well. The Samsung Galaxy Gio was launched in March in the United Kingdom and it is currently available for a price of around £ 300. The contract prices have not been revealed yet.
