Camera Core: Samsung doesn’t only do slider phones, they also do two-sided phones. With this experiment, Samsung has produced the Samsung Upstage, their latest innovation. The Upstage features a small display on the phone side and, on the back cover, a large display for entertainment.The phone in itself is a wonder. It is a combination, with one side serving as a phone and the other side looking so much like a portable media player. It is designed to offer the benefits of a large display with a large keypad without actually increasing the size of the Upstage.
However, with this design, you get a small media player, but also a less efficient one. It has good music and sound quality — a real plus in today’s phones where sound volume and quality seem to be so cruelly abandoned. But the complicated two-sided system makes it a cell phone that is really not for everybody.
