Samsung Soul hands-on video from MWC 2008 Barcelona

The Samsung Soul was pretty much the highlight of the Samsung booth. The multimedia feature phone (we wish it was a smartphone) packs in a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera with Xenon flash, 7.2Mbps HSDPA, and that context-dependent touch-sensitive navigation panel below the display. Unfortunately, the Samsung Soul is only a tri-band device, so don’t expect this handset to hit the US mainstream. A shame.

The camera quality was very good and the slide-mechanism was slick (expected from Samsung, they really know how to make a slider), but the real interesting thing about the Samsung Soul was the touch-sensitive navigation panel that changed configuration based on what function we were using. Go to the media player and the context-dependent nav panel displays music controls, goto the messaging application and you’ll have access to messaging-related keys, start up the camera and you’ll see camera functions in the nav panel – you get the idea.

Check out the video of the Samsung Soul below.
