The Korean manufacturer has just unleashed a flurry of brand-new Galaxy S smartphones onto the US market, partnering with pretty much all of the major carriers out there. So, it was expected for T-Mobile to get its own Galaxy S smartphone, which they’ve called the Vibrant.
In spite of the fact that the external design is specific to T-Mobile, the specs list is similar to that of the other Galaxy S models out there. Hence, the smartphone comes equipped with a 4-inch Super AMOLED touch screen display, accompanied by the speedy Samsung 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird Application Processor and six-axis sensor, which are optimized for media and gaming, thus giving consumers a seamless, immersive experience while reading, watching and playing. The Vibrant is also the latest smartphone in T-Mobile’s lineup that can benefit from enhanced speeds in locations with T-Mobile’s super-fast HSPA+ network.
Running Android 2.1, the Samsung Vibrant offers a seven-panel home screen and access to Android Market to personalize the device with 65,000 applications, including apps for social networking, gaming, travel and more. Plus, the smartphone delivers advanced phone features such as GPS functionality with access to turn-by-turn navigation and Swype text input for fast, accurate communication.
It also comes equipped with a 5-megapixel camera with digital zoom and autofocus, and a video camera for recording crystal-clear, high-definition (720p) videos and photos for playback on an HD television. Naturally, the phone also provides access to a wide array of T-Mobile specific services, and comes pre-loaded with all sorts of interesting pieces of content, some related to James Cameron’s Avatar.
“By combining best-selling, award-winning content and amazing hardware that brings that content to life, T-Mobile continues to deliver on its commitment to bring innovative mobile entertainment experiences to consumers’ fingertips,” said Paul Cole, vice president, devices and accessories, T-Mobile USA. “We are proud to introduce the Samsung Vibrant as the latest addition to our growing lineup of Android-powered devices.”
“The Samsung Vibrant contains all of the premium core features that the Galaxy S portfolio offers to consumers, including an industry leading display and powerful processor. The Galaxy S devices make the smartphone brilliant,” stated Omar Khan, chief strategy officer for Samsung Mobile. “When you combine the Vibrant’s incredible hardware with preloaded content like ‘Avatar,’ along with thousands of applications available on the Android Market, the entertainment and customization possibilities are endless.”
The Samsung Vibrant from T-Mobile should become officially available on July 21 and sell for $199.99 on a two-year contract.
