It shouldn’t be a shock that Samsung’s previous forays into luxury phones and “weird” designs hasn’t gone very well. The combination of odd design and high price won’t be a popular one in this economy, but it seems with the introduction of the Ego, Samsung has learned their lesson well.
Today the Samsung Ego GT-S9402 has been launched officially, and its lessons are evident on first glance. Samsung has decided to not bother with a fancy design with its Ego phone and opted for a classical candybar form factor, and for some interesting advanced materials. According to the official PR the body of the Samsung Ego phone is made of “liquidmetal” alloy developed by Caltech, which is (quote from the PR hype) “3 times stronger, can withstand 1.8 times the pressure, is 1.6 time more flexible, has 3 times better vibration absorbption and 100% lower termal conductivity then titanium“. Sounds pretty neat, but does a cellphone need materials like this really?
Specs: GSM/EDGE, 1GB of memory with room for 2 SIM cards and up to 8GB of MicroSD memory, 5MP camera, and Bluetooth. It’s expected to compete with models like the Motorola Aura and the like, and it could very well do just that.
Price is expected to be around 1200 EUR or so, and release should be in the next week or so.
