LG’s GD910 has got some competition. Samsung has introduced its watchphone dubbed as S9110 and is the world’s thinnest measuring a thickness of just 11.98mm.
The phone features a 1.76-inch touchscreen, speakerphone, music player, Bluetooth, voice recognition and e-mail support. The watch does not compromise on quality too – the glass is scratch resistant and comes with stainless steel metal body and leather wrist belt.
S9110 will be released in France for about 450 Euros ($639).
The company is claiming that its new S9110 watchphone is the world’s thinnest of its kind, measuring only 11.98mm in thickness.
The device sports a 1.7-inch glass LCD touchscreen that promises not to get scratched, housed in a stainless steel body that will use its leather strap to wrap around your wrist.
The watchphone supports Bluetooth 2.1 for your headsets, and we are willing to venture that this is A2DP since it claims to be an MP3 player as well. There’s a speakerphone built into the watch, and it supports voice recognition – two very important features for such a tiny touch-operated screen.
Although Samsung has not specifically mentioned any sort of Internet connectivity, the fact that it syncs up with your Outlook mail brings some hope in that regard.
Frankly, the allure of watchphones is incomprehensible to most of us here at ThinkDigit, but if you are one to use a cell phone just for making and receiving phone calls (you Neanderthal!) and to look up the odd SMS, then we can see how these make sense to you.
