Samsung Galaxy Z: Tegra 2, 4.2-inch SC-LCD

[DarkAngel]

Well well well. So here comes the Galaxy Z. O2X Killer? Though the SGZ has only a 5MP, 720p recording. But the O2X 1080p recording is not smooth either AFAIK. Or else will this replace the older gen. SGS (SAMOLED shortage)

The price of the Samsung Galaxy Z is set at 3995 Swedish kronor (€435, $630).

$630! Seriously!?

 

[comp@ddict]

^^ Well, N9 costs 650$ if that's a consolation.

Bah dont go by initial pricing in the UK or Europe. SGSII is 30k here and the Nexus S is 20k. So this should end up in the ~24k-25k mark and they would probably phase out the original SGS. This is my take on this.

At least It has Led Flash, I Dont Know What They Were Thinking When They Realeased SGS Without One

But Tegra2 doesnt look too promising with lack of video codec supports especially mkv. I dont think it can play mkv videos smoothly which old galaxy s played easily.

Samsung Galaxy Z can now be purchased from Three in Sweden at a price of 3995 SEK [USD 630], to put price in perspective SGS II is priced 5990 SEK [USD 949] in the country.

i think it wud b more of like an affordable high end handset... Somewhat like the optimus black... Companies are now trying to cover up all price segments... Original sgs wont be phased out, as it still has a good market share and interest... Samsung and Lg are now banking on brand names just like nokia does with their "N", "E" and "Xm" series...

The killer price for this would be 20-21k

if more then it is a dodo.

 

[F3niX]

20K and it will surely be a SGS Killer..

It will give tough comeptetion for Nexus S and 3GS at that price point...

@topic.

qHD was very much possible with the screen type.

may they just did not want to take any risks with sgs2 sales...

Tegra 2 powered motorola Atrix 4G plays all mkv's fine for me ,

no lagging and no stuttering.

in fact i download mkv based torrents on phone itself and watch it on phone all by itself and their is no PC involvement.

MKV playback is cortesy of vplayer and Torrent download courtesy of Ttorrent . both available for free in market itself.
