Samsung Rex Handsets Skip The Android Bandwagon

Samsung Rex Handsets Skip The Android BandwagonSamsung seemed to have placed most of their hopes on the Android mobile operating system where their handsets are concerned, although they do have a minor contribution on the Windows Phone 8 market segment. Fast forward to today, and we have a quartet of handsets from Samsung that will ditch the “smart” word from its generic name, and will instead fall under the featurephone category – namely the Samsung Rex 90, Samsung Rex 80, Samsung Rex 70, and Samsung Rex 60.

Needless to say, the Samsung Rex 90 is the most expensive model among the lot at $120 thereabouts, with a 3.5-inch HVGA display in tow, TouchWiz UI, Smart Dual SIM with Hot Swap, Wi-Fi, Facebook and Twitter integration, ChatOn, a 3.2-megapixel camera at the back, and a microSD memory card slot.

As for the Samsung Rex 80, it is not too far off from the Rex 90, albeit sporting a smaller 3-inch QVGA display. Up next would be the Samsung Rex 70 with a 3-inch QVGA display, although it misses out on Wi-Fi connectivity and has a lower resolution 2-megapixel camera. The most budget-minded model would be the Samsung Rex 60 that features a 2.5-inch QVGA display and a 1.3-megapixel shooter at the back.
