Samsung S5230 aka Star has really shone like a star; brilliantly. The affordable touchscreen is the highlight of this year and the finest sample of this phenomena is the rational but attractively done, Samsung Star S5230.
The hand set has already sold over 5 million units since it was introduced back in May and the company is expecting the number to reach up to a figure of 10 million most recent by November.
Yes, the company has some high ambitions but not without reason as Samsung S5230 was the fastest Samsung handset in reaching the 5 million mark and so another 5 million in a matter of months doesn’t seem that big a deal at all. In May, when the set was launched, the Star sold 700 thousand units, 900 thousand the next month and the numbers for the next couple of months were nearly double that – 1.6 and 1.8 million respectively.
The Star’s rival phone, the LG Cookie, also reached the 5-million milestone in July but it suffered slow sales in the early months of its launch. LG too predicts that the 10 million mark is going to be reached by this set very soon.
Samsung Star is imported in Europe the most and the figures state that almost more than half of the whole sales (2.8 million) have been generated there! In Europe France, the UK, the Netherlands and Italy were the chart toppers as far as the star sales went.
What makes this set tick is, its heavy features which come with a relatively reasonable price. Out of its many notable features the best ones definitely are a 3″ WQVGA touchscreen with Samsung’s widget-enabled TouchWiz and a 3 megapixel camera with smile detection. It can handle microSD cards up to 16GB and with DNSe technology it’s a music player in its own right also the amazing document viewer is something that can make you get interested in the awesome set.
While the design leaves much to be desired, the new optional colors seem to cover that up but one thing is for sure that the new Samsung’s Star is truly shining bright!
