Remember the Ch@t 335 , a feature phone that was specially meant for social networking enthusiasts? Well Samsung has announced another version of the Ch@t series called the Ch@t 222. However, this one is more like the Ch@t 322 in terms of specifications.
Twice the chat
The Ch@t 222 has an extra SIM card slot, so this one is a Dual-SIM mobile phone. It has a QWERTY keyboard, but the specifications are not too impressive. It looks pretty certain that this will be priced more in the lower-end or entry-level segment. A quick look under the hood of the Ch@t 222 reveals the following information:
- 2.2-inch display at a resolution of 220 x 176 pixels
- GPRS
- Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP
- VGA Camera
- FM Radio with a feature to record
- 3.5 mm audio jack
- Memory expandable to 16 GB
- DNSe sound enhancement for the audio player
Now these specifications don’t look interesting at all. Samsung should be pricing the Ch@t 222 at a very low price if they really want this handset to sell at all. The pricing of this handset is not out, but hopefully should be below the Rs. 4000 mark.
