Introduction:
Not long ago, Samsung announced the slider BEATs and the candybar BEATb, which are the first two models of the music oriented line “BEAT edition”. It will try to be direct competition of Sony Ericsson’s Walkman series and Nokia’s XpressMusic. In this preview, we’ll discuss Samsung BEATb, which will be a rival to Nokia 5310 XpressMusic.
Same as BEATs, this model is equipped with Samsung’s DNSe DSP and Auto EQ. These technologies are provided in order to enhance the music sound quality. The phone also comes with Shazam’s Find Music track recognition software and the function Motion Play. In contrast to the slider however, here we don’t have the Bang&Olufsen amplifier.
Design:
BEATb’s design is a bit more stylish and not that youthful as of 5310, and we like it. Its size and weight are very close to the rival’s, which makes the Samsung very compact as well.
The 2” QVGA display supports up to 16 million colors and we hope it will be as good as the Nokia’. Below it are located the three buttons controlling the musical player and the radio accompanied by the navigational keys and the numeric keyboard.
Software:
When we are talking about the software of a non-smartphone by Samsung, there rarely are any huge differences compared to the one of previous models. BEATb is not an exception and you’ll also have menu transition like in Soulb for example. However, the nice theme creating option is not present here. Since BEATb is music-oriented we’ll discuss the music options.
