Cocoon, if you remember, was a film about a bunch of cantankerous elderly people who discovered the alien key to prolonging their life; with that horrible thought in mind, I grudgingly agreed to review O2 UK’s Cocoon cellphone, fearing that at any moment a trio of elderly men might leap out and deliver a touching [...]
Dual-screens on a cellphone are nothing new: clamshells have had them for years, giving Caller ID and status on the outside, while Samsung even experimented with candybars that had a screen on each side. Verizon’s musicphone for this season, however, the Venus by LG, manages to eke a further new trick out of the dual-screen [...]
While SlashGear was hobnobbing with Samsung in glamorous Seoul last week, the company showed us the next step in their multimedia handset timeline. Called the G800, it pushes Samsung’s range even further into the realms of consumer photography, bringing a stonking 5-megapixel digital camera, complete with autofocus, xenon flash and a 3x internal optical [...]
Remember that cool virtual reality gaming headset that I showed you guys last month? Well, as with any other product that promises me either virtual reality, flying cars or time travel, I tend to remain skeptical.

A traditional candybar handset, the i550 ran the risk of being overlooked at Samsung’s press event, but there are certainly enough features to make it worth [...]
Samsung’s last collaboration with Bang & Olufsen, the Serene, grabbed headlines for all the wrong reasons. Seemingly attempting to literally revolutionise normal clamshell design by putting the display on the lower half and the keys (in a dodgy circular layout, naturally) on the top. It was very well made but difficult to use and as [...]
It wasn’t all about luxury names and big-screen smartphonesat Samsung’s exclusive press event; they also took the time to introduce some more mainstream models. First up is the SGH-i450, a dual-sliding music phone which still manages to pack a 2-megapixel camera, HSDPA for high-speed internet access and - more importantly, Samsung thinks - downloading fresh [...]
Last month Vodafone announced their agreementwith Samsung to sell the F700 smartphone under the unusual name “Croix”, and at the time I lamented my lack of in-depth playtime with the handset. Well, thanks to yesterday’s Samsung event which SlashGear were invited to I had an opportunity to grab some footage of the HSDPA-toting, QWERTY-sliding F700; back [...]
