Samsung S5350 Shark deals on contract

One of the greatest challenges any mobile phone maker faces is coming out with a conventional budget handset that can stand out and wow its target markets amidst an endless sea of similar feature phones.

This has been the strength of the Big Five mobile phone makers who battle for supremacy in these wide markets. The number two guy Samsung has become quite formidable in offering high value feature phones here like its new mobile phones that launched the Shark family. One of them is the Samsung S5350 Shark.

Conventional Feature Set

The S5350 Shark sports a conventional candybar form factor on a body measuring 115.2 x 46.7 x 11.8mm and weighing a pocket-friendly 99.2 grams. It comes with the typical 2.2-inch TFT LCD display with QVGA resolution and 256k colors. There’s imaging supported by a 3.2 megapixel digicam with autofocus, smile detection and QVGA video recording at 15fps. There’s even a secondary camera for 3G video calls.

It also comes with the entertainment features we’ve taken for granted in mobile phones and this one, apart from having the usual media playback capability for all the popular media file formats out there, has Samsung’s proprietary DNSe (Dynamic Natural Sound engine) that enhances your listening experience with stereo widening and surround sound effects. It has FM stereo with RDS and allows wireless stereo headphone with its A2DP support.
