Cheap Samsung Touch Phone Revealed

Samsung has launched a $199 touch phone aimed at young consumers who want to stay connected this summer.

Called Samsung Star, this handset lets a user compose messages using a standard numerical keypad, a virtual QWERTY keyboard or you can hand write your texts using the stylus provided. It features an ‘accelerometer sensor’ that automatically tilts the screen, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and a 3-inch full-touch screen.

Samsung Australia’s Vice President of Telecommunications, Tyler McGee said, “The Samsung Star is already basking in global success as Samsung’s fastest selling mobile phone by exceeding an exceptional five million sales milestone in just four months.”

“With its cool and funky body, we believe it will be a hit with youngsters this summer. If its global success is anything to go by, the Samsung Star will shoot off the shelves this season,” added McGee.
