The Samsung C3510 Genoa Received A Facelift

Samsung is making the Samsung C3510 Genoa available in Europe sometime during the early part of 2010. This phone is an offshoot of the original Samsung C3510 Corby Pop which was available only in India.  Along with the market’s expansion will be changes made to the phone, though they are minimal.  The phones still look a great deal alike, though some design options have  been dropped in order to reduce the price.

The Genoa will be available for €100 and $150.  As one can see, this is on the lower end of the mobile phone price spectrum and the specs also fall in this range.  It has many of the same features as more expensive handsets, they just aren’t as good. For example, instead of a 3.0 megapixel phone it is a 1.3 megapixel camera. For some individuals this won’t matter, for others it will.  Those more concerned with price and are interested primarily in the ability of being able to make and receive calls, may not worry so much about the extras.

Along with the 1.3 megapixel camera, the handset has a 2.8 resistive touch screen display with QVGA resolution.  Individuals will be able to add up to 8 GB of memory using the microsd card slot.

Social networking integration is one of the phone’s main features.  Individuals are able to get live alerts and update their status on Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. They are also able to upload photos to Fllickr and Picassa to share with others. The SCG uses a Quadband GSM EDGE connection, giving individuals the ability to search online.

Those in needs of a good, fairly inexpensive mobile phone may find this to be a great option. It offers a nice, functional one with great basics and social networking integration. Individuals who are highly involved in social networking will be able to appreciate the Samsung C3510 Genoa.
