SITEX 2006 - Ground Zero

Samsung's Booth

Samsung's Booth

Straddling both the hardware and consumer electronics arena, Samsung has become a giant brand to rival more illustrious brands like Sony. So of course they would have a mega booth at Sitex.

No.1 in Singapore for LCD displays - that's an achievement that Samsung will fight to keep and that just means more choice and competitive prices for consumers, as you can see from this selection of LCD displays.

The new YP-K5 is loud, thanks to its slide-out speakers. It is also a very capable MP3 player with up to 30hrs of playback using earphones. The 2GB version costs $308 while the 4GB is much better value at just $100 more.

The Samsung R40 boasts of a spanking new Core 2 Duo T5500 processor and up to 1GB of DDR2 memory. Its main weakness seems to be the integrated ATI Radeon Xpress 200M graphics. However, for $1899, it's quite value for money, especially since you can expect goodies worth up to $700 and a chance at a sure win lucky dip.

LCD TVs from Samsung are also available, with prices starting from $1499.

Samsung's ultra slim mobile phones were on display but most buyers should probably get a unit from their service providers if they can, as their retail prices start at $398, considerably more than the typical mobile plan bundle.
