Samsung Star 3G - Really a Star

The Samsung Star 3G is a 3G-enabled phone. Star 3G S5603's review reveals its success story.




The S5603 is the latest 3G touchscreen phone from Samsung. It has excellent features and comes with a large 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen with Samsung's TouchWiz User Interface (UI).The S5603's touchscreen responds well to the finger.

Viewing is possible in portrait and landscape modes. The UI is one of the best and makes the mobile experience a pleasure.

The front panel of the Samsung Star 3G has the earpiece just above the screen, the light sensor and the secondary video call camera on the right. The bottom of the screen has three buttons -- the calling keys, back button and the power on/off or exit key. The calling keys open the call log, while the back button simply takes users a step back from the present screen. The power/exit key directly brings users to the home screen. The back button looks like a D-pad and can be mistaken for the navigation key.The Samsung Star 3G has a very simple touch input and has got a standard keypad. They haven't included any QWERTY touchpad.

The S5603 doesn't have a navigation key, so users have to manually browse through the menu with their finger. On the top of the phone is the multifunction jack for USB connectivity, charging and handsfree. The multi-function port is a big disadvantage, as nothing else can be used while charging the phone. The left of the phone has the volume rocker that doubles up as the zooming rocker and for the text and the camera. On the right of the phone is the hold/screen lock key and below it is the camera key. The mic is at the bottom of the device.The back has the 3.0-megapixel camera with LED flash towards the top and a loudspeak¬er at the bottom left.

It also puts a 3.2 megapixel camera with LED flash and speakers at the bottom left. However, the images that it captures seem to be below average. The S5603 has a slot for the MicroSD card (expandable upto 16 GB) behind the battery. In addition to that there is an Internal storage of 80 MB.

The phone comes with quite a good number of pre-installed applications. There is an Application to Share-pix on several online image portals like Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, Photobucket, Friendster,and MySpace.

The other applications include FM Tuner, Voice Recorder, Timer,Stopwatch, and RSS Reader.

15 Acoustic headphones from Bose

As the name itself is all to say, Quiet Comfort 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling headphones are the latest headphones introduced by Bose in its Quiet Comfort headphone line.The Bose has been from last 30 years in continuous research in noise reduction technology, where there has been significant engineering advancements in active and passive noise reduction technologies into the QC15 headphones with which they could offer more attenuation in louder environments and also across a wider range of frequencies. Since audio quality has always been a major concern, and therefore this time they have ensured a comfortable fit that is worthy of the Quiet Comfort headphone line.



Being the proprietary electronics approach which is to introduce active noise reduction, this sophisticated feature aims to place within and without the ear cup. The new proprietary ear cushion technology helps in additional passive attenuation. Also the new mechanical design along with careful selection of materials for specific acoustic properties helps to prevent more noise from entering the ear cup.Thus this results in the ability to better sense sound in any environment, and also taking a some more effective measures so that it can instantly produce an opposing cancellation signal.

Adding to this,QC15 headphones most interesting feature is the detachment of a single earcup cable for untethered noise reduction. We just need to flip a switch on the right earcup as soon the cable is removed, so that it will activate the proprietary technology. As far as battery is concerned QC15 runs on a single AAA battery for up to 35 hours of non-stop playback. When there is around five hours of battery left the green on/off indicator light starts to flash thereby giving enough time to prepare a spare.
