Samsung M7600 BeatDJ
One of the new phones in the Samsung BEAT range, the Samsung M7600 BEAT DJ stands out. It allows you to mix your music just the way you want it thus taking music capabilities of a phone to a different level.
The M7600 BEAT DJ has a rounded top and bottom. It is compact and weighs about 100 grams making it very pocket friendly. Its distinctive rounded edges make it quite an unusual looking handset. The body of the phone is made of plastic with the display framed with metallic gloss. The sides are painted in violet.
The M7600 BEAT DJ has a 2.8 inch OLED touch screen with a WQVGA resolution.
The touch sensitive scroll is at the centre of the front of the phone. What’s interesting is the semicircular touchpad in the empty space between the screen and the call buttons. In conventional phones, this area gets used in music applications. With the touch screen it forms this circular scroll.
The phone uses the Samsung touch UI which is the latest version of TouchWiz.It has a 50 MB integrated memory which is expandable up to 16 GB via the microSD card slot.
Connectivity options are pretty standard for a non Smartphone. It has Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP, a GPS receiver and a standard micro USB port.
The best feature of the phone is the Beat DJ application which works through the touchscreen.There are a variety of effects such as changing the tempo, overlaying filters, reverb and you can even add samples of your own voice into the mix. The recorded tracks can be used as an alarm or even a ringtone, but can’t be exported due to rights issues. The audio quality when listening to music through headphones is good due to the SRS virtual surround sound.
Other features include a 3.5 mm jack , recordable FM radio, and a 3 MP autofocus camera with Power LED flash, and VGA video.
Disadvantages of the phone partially surround the display which can feel quite cramped specially when messaging. The Beat DJ application is fun, but once you use it for a while and get bored of it, there’s not much else the phone has to offer. Even the Disc user interface is not revolutionary and is similar to Coverflow technology.
Overall it is still a unique music phone very different from the other music phones in the market. Anyone interested should check out the mobile phone offersat Moby 1.
