One of the key reasons that Samsung have become one of the most popular handset manufacturers is that they have a talent for producing extremely desirable mobile phones, which manage to contain a lot of powerful features, without sacrificing good looks. The latest phone that epitomises this fusion of looks and power is the Samsung S8300 Tocco Ultra.
most famous, and well-regarded product lines: the Tocco series of touch-based mobile phones, and their Ultra Edition range of slim, fashionable devices. As such, the Samsung Tocco Ultra combines a touchscreen interface with a wealth of features, and manages to do this within a body which is only 12.7mm deep. The Samsung Tocco Ultra ably demonstrates all the qualities which have made earlier Ultra Edition phones so popular, from the slim design, to a scratch-resistant screen, to the excellent build quality evident in the phone.
The screen is of particular interest on the Samsung Tocco Ultra, as it is a 2.8 inch AMOLED touchscreen. This not only means that the screen is both bright and vibrant, but also, the Samsung Tocco Ultra uses a capacitive touchscreen, which means that everything about the phone is designed to be used with a fingertip, rather than a stylus. Where you are using a fingertip, however, you will need a good interface, and the Samsung Tocco Ultra does not disappoint. It uses the TouchWiz interface made famous by the earlier, standard Tocco phones, and once again, the interface is simple, intuitive, and due to the use of widgets on the front screen, extremely customisable. With the Samsung Tocco Ultra, you can always ensure that the shortcuts and content you want are always right at your fingertips.
Together with the touchscreen, the Samsung Tocco Ultra also features a traditional, slide-out keypad, for people who prefer to text, or dial numbers using physical keys. Sliding open the Samsung Tocco Ultra also reveals the camera, and the camera used in this handset is an 8 megapixel unit, which will produce pin-sharp images with ease. It also has a range of extra features, such as face and smile detection, which will help make your photos look even better. These photos can be geo-tagged using the built-in GPS, or shared with your online friends, using the HSDPA internet connection, running at 7.2 Mbps.
If you want a sleek, pretty phone, which despite its slim body, includes an 8MP camera and a sleek, intuitive touchscreen interface, then the Samsung Tocco Ultra is the perfect purchase.
