Following in its predecessor’s footsteps, the Samsung Intensity III enters the Verizon phone array with a ‘ruggedized’ design and environment-friendly features. Fans can now get their hands on this QWERTY handset through the carrier’s online outlet at an eye-catching, low price.
One of the key highlights of this handset is its horizontal slide-out full QWERTY keypad that fosters easy texting and emailing and enables users to stay connected with their folks. Given that many gadgets are moving towards imbibing an eco-friendly nature, this one also joins the gang.
Its contour is carved out of 80 percent post-consumer materials that include recycled plastic. On the road, its eco-calculator contributes to its ‘go green’ factor by keeping a check on the amount of carbon dioxide emissions via the consumed fuel and the car’s mileage and efficiency.
The phone wears a 2.4-inch QVGA 240 x 320 TFT display and a 2MP snapper that is fitted onto its back panel. This sensor sports features such as night shot and effects like normal, antique and negative, as well as a range of shooting modes. With the multilingual UI, users can operate the handset in languages covering English, Chinese, Spanish, Korean and Vietnamese via the voice commands and speech recognition technology.
The in-built VZ Navigator guides and offers directions when on the move, while the Fake Call feature helps users find an escape from unwanted situations. Along with Bluetooth connectivity, the device also offers memory expandability up to 32GB via microSD cards.
The Samsung Intensity III price via Verizon is marked at $79.99 (approx. Rs. 4,370), inclusive of a $50 (approx. Rs. 2,725) mail-in rebate and a two-year agreement.
