This article debates and reviews the soon to be released Samsung G400 mobile phone, a feature full medium to high end mobile telephone packed with modern features and a particularly impressive 5 mega pixel camera.  This phone is scheduled for release with 12 months free line rental giving the chance to have one of these mobile phones fully free. 

The most recent mobile phone to be offered with 12 months free line rental is the Samsung G400.  The Samsung G400 is a clamshell version of the very favored Samsung Soul.  The Samsung Soul was ( is ) a particularly sleek and stylish 3G telephone that has a particularly large external display screen.  The Samsung G400 is also provided with a 5 mega pixel camera, which is a very inspiring resolution for a mobile phone.  The Samsung G400 is a real treat for flip phone user’s ad it is certain to prove very hip, particularly on the 12 month free deals currently being offered. 

The camera is a 5 mega pixel camera fitted to the Samsung G400 includes auto focus and a flash.  The camera also has face recognition and image stabilization.  Furthermore this mobile phone includes a secondary camera for video capture.  At time of writing, Samsung have not stated the resolution of video capture for this telephone.  Strangely, the main camera is fitted onto the hinge of the G400 ( the hinge of the flip part of the telephone ), so, when the telephone is opened for use it faces the user.  It is hard to see the benefit of this design feature, if anything it may cause an issue with ones fingers getting in the way of the camera lens. 

The most striking feature of the Samsung G400 is the oversized external display screen, which renders full color at a formidable resolution of 320 x 240 pixels ( 2.2 inches ).  This is actually the same size and resolution as the internal display on this mobile phone, and really makes for a powerful looking mobile phone.  Having no buttons, the extra massive exterior display is touch sensitive and features haptic feedback for intuitive learning ( this handset will teach you the best way to operate it ).  The haptic feedback is similar to that used in some of the more latest Motorola telephones

The Samsung G400 includes support for Bluetooth 2.0 and a net browser with support for Gmail!  The Samsung G400 also has an expanding micro SD memory slot into which you can put your own memory cards.  In terms of size, the Samsung G400 is reasonably compact measuring 103 x 52 x 15mm.  At time of writing Samsung haven’t begun to disclose the weight and battery life for this mobile phone handset. 

The Samsung G400 is a tri band phone making ideal for those that travel ( and need their phone ) in different nations.  This mobile phone also supports GPRS ; however, it doesn’t support WiFi, a genuine limitation compared to competing telephones within this price bracket.  In my opinion, a mobile telephone of this blueprint should have WiFi as standard.  However as the Samsung G400 is an an HSDPA ( High Speed Download Packet Access ) phone, you can still get download speeds of almost 7.2 Mbps in areas covered by a 3.G network, but, unlike WiFi you will have to pay your network supplier on a per MB basis. 

As predicted with a phone of this calibre, the Samsung G400 is equipped with a multimedia player which supports all major media formats ( MP3, WAV, i-melody, WMA, e-AAC+ and MMF ) as well as video playback.  There’s an FM tuneable radio with RDS for folks that like listening to the radio as well as your own downloaded tunes. 

Though not released, there are already plans to supply the Samsung G400 with twelve months free line rental.  These twelve month free line rental deals offer the customer the possibility to make claims cash back against their mobile phone bills meaning they can get a free Samsung G400 with free inclusive mins and free inclusive texts without it costing them anything!  However, it should be observed the twelve month free deals do make a few stumbling blocks for customers attempting to claim their money back, so are only suitable for the savviest and determined of bargain hunters!

If you wish to get a Samsung G400 after its release you can compare mobile phone prices and find a Samsung G400 with free line rental.
