After being distributed in the UK via Clove, the Samsung Galaxy Beam is now up for pre-order in India via the company’s online store. As its name signifies, the device flaunts a potent mobile beam projector that can also be used as a personal visual presenter.
Diving directly into the tech specs, the device is based on the Android Gingerbread platform that teams up with a 1GHz dual core application processor, 768 RAM and an 8GB onboard storage to give it multi-tasking abilities. A 4-inch WVGA TFT touchscreen runs over its 123.9 x 64.2 x 12.6 contour. It is armed with a 5MP CMOS sensor with LED flash and AF features, and a 1.3MP CMOS one that offers video-conferencing abilities on the move.
Apart from the above mentioned sensors, it also features other niceties like an accelerometer and a geo-magnetic sensor, as well as gyro, light and proximity sensors. Under the hood, this 148g device is juiced up by a 2000mAh battery that offers roughly 575 minutes 3G talk time and 760 hours of both 2G and 3G standby time.
Since the gadget is compatible with 3G, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPRS services, users can employ these features to access and download a host of movies, songs and applications. If the onboard memory isn’t enough, the device offers memory expandability up to 40GB via a 32GB microSD card. As NDTV Gadgets points out, the most eye-catching highlight of this gadget is its image and video projector that can display content as huge as 50 inches.
The Samsung Galaxy Beam price in India via the company’s online store is marked at Rs. 29,900. However, the device is only up for pre-order at the moment.
