Another
low-end Windows Phone was introduced by Samsung in Europe recently, the Samsung
Omnia M.
The Samsung
Omnia M features a four-inch Super AMOLED screen display, 1GHz processor, 384MB
RAM, 4GB internal storage and a five-megapixel camera. Although the South
Korean company did not reveal the price of the latest Windows Phone-powered
device, its features indicates that the Samsung Omnia M will likely go up against
the Nokia Lumia 610, a low-end device.
In
comparison to the Samsung Omnia M, the Nokia Lumia 610 comes with a 3.7-inch
screen display, 800MHz processor, 256MB RAM, 8GB internal storage and a
five-megapixel camera.
Basing on
this comparison, the two Windows Phone devices offer similar features with the
Samsung Omnia M having the upper hand in terms of the display, processor, and
RAM. On the other hand, the Nokia Lumia 610 has a bigger internal storage
compared to the Samsung Omnia M. Both devices feature a five-megapixel camera.
Although
both devices have a smaller RAM compared to most Windows Phone-powered
smartphones, the Windows Phone 7.5 can be used on devices that have a smaller RAM
than an earlier version of the mobile OS though it may be necessary for apps to
be optimized by developers to allow them to run using a 256MB RAM.
The Samsung
Omnia M is only 10.5 millimeters thick, which makes it slimmer compared to the 12
millimeter thickness of the Nokia Lumia 610. The Nokia device is also heavier
at 131.5 grams compared to the 119 grams of the Samsung device. The similarity
of the features of the two devices has led industry watchers to speculate that the
price of the Samsung Omnia M to be similar to the $244 price tag of the Nokia
Lumia 610.
Although the
Samsung Galaxy SIII is currently hogging the headlines, the introduction of the
Samsung Omnia M shows that the company does not want to limit itself to the Android
OS, which would provide it more flexibility in the market.
