Samsung Electronics has introduced Samsung SGH-B130, a N3, 700 handset targeted at low income phone users in Nigeria. But the beauty is that it comes in an attractive bar form; its portability and compact nature makes it convenient to use.
Mr. James You, managing director, Samsung Electronics Nigeria limited, speaking at the media launch of the product last week, said: "Samsung B130 mobile phone is a very stylish GSM handset device with a long battery-life which will enable the low income earners enjoy high-end facilities like PC connectivity, clear speaker phone for conference calling, Samsung’s unique mobile tracker (theft deterrent), downloading of MP3 ringtones, and a large visual display that makes it friendly to the eyes."
"Samsung SGH-B130 spots a screen which displays messages up to 8 lines as well as graphics and games; 128 x 128 pixels colour resolution, 500-entry phonebook, assorted calendars, schedules, clocks and calculators; MP3 and 40 poly ringtones for a more personalized calling experience; a longer battery life of about 8 hours talk time, emergency SMS alert and travel adaptor," intimated Farhad Khan, Samsung Nigeria’s production marketing manager, as he officially unveiled the product to the media.
Charles Uwa Omorehgha, marketing manager of Samsung, while fielding questions from pressmen said that the phone is one of a kind and cannot be compared with other phones which share the same features, in terms of affordability. According to him, budget-conscious phone users who seek basic functionality, high performance and durability in phones can now get that in the SGH-B130.
He said that Samsung has other phones with such functions but that, the SGH-B130 was designed that way so that it does not get laden with so many functions which may eventually drive its price up.
You also disclosed that every pack of Samsung SGH- B130 mobile phone comes with a free SIM card of any network of choice.
