Compare Omnia Pro B7610 Deals

The Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 is a mid-range handset with a large slide-out QWERTY keyboard, superb 3.5-inc, WVGA resolution (480 x 800 pixels) touchscreen display and all the utilities one would expect of a modern smartphone.

In fact, the screen is wonderfully crisp and bright thanks to AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) technology which does not need to be back-lit. This also means there is far less drain on the battery. The superb screen ensures the results of the 5 megapixel camera with autofocus and dual LED flash are displayed to best effect and includes an accelerometer for automatic switching between portrait and landscape modes

Connectivity is fast and messaging options diverse with 3.5G/HSDPA support for broadband-style internet, with Wi-fi for hotspot and WLAN working, plus A-GPS (sat-nav is now almost mandatory for a device to be called a smartphone). A quad-band phone, it is potentially capable of global roaming.

You can switch between two user interfaces: “pro” and “media” – essentially between work and entertainment. A Personal Media Player (PMP) interface for the media option accesses the camera, music player and video; the pro setting offers the internet, organisational and calendar functions, toggling between the two with a single button click.

There is another front-facing camera for video calls, a 3.5mm standard headphone jack and an FM radio. The B7610 comes with 1.4 Gbytes’ accessible internal storage and a microSD slot for additional capacity. Battery life is rated at 12 hours’ talk time or 24 hours on standby from a full charge.
