The latest addition to the Omnia series that takes the company’s Windows Phone legacy forward is the Samsung Omnia M smartphone for India. The device boasts of improved connectivity and is deployed with version 7.5 of the OS in question.
This handset dons a 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen on its front panel and adopts the tile-based Metro user interface. It allows users to launch multiple applications at the same time, thanks to 384MB RAM and a 1GHz processor that rests under the hood. Additionally, the phone ships with 4GB internal storage and a 5MP primary camera to facilitate recording videos and capturing still shots. Video conferencing is taken care of by its front-mounted VGA webcam.
“At Samsung, we are committed to providing our consumers with more choice across the different operating systems and Omnia M is our latest offering on the Windows platform.
