Earlier in 2007, Samsung proudly released one of its most innovative ideas yet, the Samsung Upstage M620. No other mobile phone model has been designed with a phone on one side, and a music player on the opposite side. It’s often called the Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde of mobile phones. The model was originally named as the Samsung Ultra Music F300, but was later on renamed as the Upstage M620, more appropriately because it seems to upstage all other units.
So what else makes this phone stand out? Let’s run the numbers, shall we? The Upstage M620’s bar style body measures 4.07″ x 1.73″ x 0.37″ (103 x 44 x 9 mm) and weighs only 2.57 ounces (73 grams), nearly as much as two candy bars.
The Upstage M620 has two LCD screens, one for the phone side, and one for the music player side. The phone LCD screen is 1.4 inches and has 176 x 65 pixel resolution in 65,000 colors. Caller information and text messages can clearly be seen on it, and whenever you dial, each digit is of a different color. The music player LCD screen is much larger at 2.1 inches, 176 x 220 pixels and 262,000 color display. That makes it great for listing songs, viewing photos and album covers and watching streaming video.
