After the success of the Samsung G600 the manufacturer has now launched a direct upgrade, the Samsung G800. Although very different in appearance, the new Samsung G800 still features a 5.0 megapixel camera however the new handset has had some extra technology added to its portfolio.

Originally released on O2 and Vodafone the Samsung G800 has now made its way onto the T-Mobile UK network, this is good news for consumers as the new network offers a mix of minutes and text rather than the set amounts offered by the other networks.

Briefly, T-Mobile charge a monthly line rental charge which then comes with a set monetary amount of minutes and text, this means that the customer can use this amount for both minutes and text until the amount has been exhausted and charges will be applied. With the other UK networks customers are given a set amount of minutes and text so even if all og the minutes have been used and the customer still has lots of text messages left the network will still start to charge for the extra minutes. T-Mobile have named these tariffs Flext which means flexible, very apt and very good value for consumers. The Samsung G800 has a 5 megapixel camera with auto focus, 3x optical zoom and xenon flash, the camera is the most advanced to date on a Samsung phone, it has digital image stabilisation, red-eye reduction, wide dynamic range and face detection. The special casing ensures good grip, and the lens and flash are protected by a stylish lens cover.

The Samsung G800 is a 3G phone, which means fast web browsing, video streaming and music downloads. It also has HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) for even higher data downloads with speeds of up to 3.6 Mbit/sec. Other features include TV out for viewing images and videos on your big screen, FM Radio, a good music player, decent video recording and a unique dual Bluetooth mode which means you can connect to another Bluetooth device while you are listening to music wirelessly.

So with the launch of the new Samsung G800 on T-Mobile customers benefit from both the latest mobile phones camera technology and great value tariffs.
