Samsung G600 was launched in July 2007 with some great features like a 5 megapixel camera and a good media player. After that Nokia also launched some N series phones like Nokia N96, Nokia N95 8GB and others which won praise everywhere. This February 2008 they have added another model to their kitty, the Nokia N78 that surpasses the Samsung G600.
It is true that Samsung G600 is a 2G phone and has no competition with Nokia N series phones. This article highlights how Nokia N78 despite having a low MP camera, the 3.15 MP camera has other great features to make it a complete device for everyone. Let’s first find out the features of the Nokia N78 and then see where the G600 lacks. If Samsung had been a bit careful while introducing some features into this phone, it could have been a desirable phone.
Nokia N78 is a quad band phone that has 3G HSDPA support for high speed download and upload and Wi-Fi Internet connectivity. The 102 g weight phone with 2.4 inch TFT 16M color screen has a 3.15 MP Carl Zeiss lens camera with flash, autofocus and video recording (VGA 15fps). There is a secondary video call camera.
The phone book has literally unlimited entries and 70 MB internal memory and card slot for memory expansion. You have EDGE, GPRS, HSCSD and Wi-Fi.Nokia N78 is equipped with Bluetooth and USB port. The media player is quite powerful to play files like MP3, MP4, eAAC+, AAC and WMA files. You have A-GPS, document viewer, FM Stereo radio, voice command/dial, FM transmitter, photo and video editor and talk time of 4 ½ hours.
Samsung G600 is also a very good creation of Samsung with some wonderful features like internal 55 MB, card slot, EDGE, GPRS, Bluetooth, USB port, WAP browser, document viewer, 5 MP camera with image stabilizer, auto focus , stereo FM radio, integrated handsfree, TV output and powerful multimedia player. But the phone lacks Wi-Fi technology, no 3G, no voice command, no GPS receiver, and has a talk time of just 3 hours. If the manufacturer had been able to address these features in the G600, it could have been equivalent to the Nokia N78.
