Samsung Omnia Lite Connectivity
The Samsung Omnia Lite is being advertised as a mid to low end touch screen phone that does a little bit more than its stable mates in order to make sense in the modern market. On the surface it is difficult to tell what it is that the Omnia Lite offers in terms of saleability. It is not particularly stunning to look at, the 3 inch touch screen is not as impressive as the AMOLED screen used in the full sized Omnia 2 and the 3 megapixel camera on the rear lacks a flash, which means it is really only suitable for casual photographers. It is necessary to get involved with the Omnia Lite’s technical side in order to see the point of this new handset.
It is the Omnia Lite connectivity options that will win customers over, as despite being a cheaper alternative to popular smartphones it is able to offer all of the same connectivity. Firstly there is the built in GPS receiver which you can use to pinpoint your position wherever you are on the globe. You can use this in tandem with Google Maps or other dedicated navigation software in order to plan routes and to find your way in unknown territory. Although GPS is fairly standard in phones slightly higher up the food chain, the Omnia Lite connectivity trumps the Tocco Lite and other low end touch screen phones.
The next powerful tool in the Omnia Lite connectivity arsenal is 3G and HSDPA mobile network connectivity. This is affords a download speed of up to 3.6Mbps which is plenty for web browsing and downloading files to the Omnia Lite. Though download speeds of up to 7.2Mbps are theoretically possible using other handsets, consumer reviews show that in real life situations most users only ever experience speeds of between 1-3Mbps, so the Omnia Lite offers about as much as you can ask for using today’s technology. Thanks to the 3G connection and the decent web browser, web pages load quickly when the 3G reception is strong. Since phones such as the Tocco Lite and the Genio lack 3G, the Omnia Lite represents the next logical step up for someone looking for an upgrade to a better mobile internet platform.
The Omnia Lite also has built in Wi-Fi connectivity. This means that you can quickly connect to a wireless broadband network for fast downloading and browsing. With wireless networks available in most built up urban areas and with many home broadband customers utilising wireless networks in their own homes, the Omnia Lite offers a great way to check online information. With the Omnia Lite you need never turn on your PC or laptop when you want to find out information quickly, whether it is train times or facts from Wikipedia.
The final Samsung Omnia Lite connectivity facet is its built-in Bluetooth. You can use the wireless signal broadcast by the Omina Lite to connect many different peripherals, including Bluetooth headsets for legal use of the phone whilst you are driving. Bluetooth also allows you to transfer files wirelessly between other compatible handsets as well as to your computer if you have a Bluetooth dongle or a built in receiver.
In summation, the Samsung Omnia Lite is one of the best phones in its price range when it comes to connectivity. There are many different ways in which to connect to the world wide web and other users around you. Though it may be slightly lacking in other areas, Samsung Omnia Lite connectivity should provide enough functionality to make it viable in an already crowded smartphone market.
