The inner screen of Samsung SGH Z100 has got an incredible resolution of 176 x 192 pixels and features 262,144 colors, which makes Samsung SGH Z100 the leading device on the market. The external black and white screen with 96 x 64 pixels would have been a main screen not too long ago. Today's technical developments are really amazing.

More features of Samsung SGH Z100 are GPRS class 8, WAP 2.0, an infra red interface, fax/modem and MMS. Unfortunately, Bluetooth is missing in Samsung SGH Z100. Instead, Samsung SGH Z100 comes with a USB cable to connect the mobile with a PC.

The Lithium Ion battery of Samsung SGH Z100 must be charged for 180 minutes and will then provide a stand - by time of 200 hours and a talking time of 240 minutes. Samsung SGH Z100 did certainly convince me. I cannot wait till UMTS gets started so I can make full use of Samsung SGH Z100.
