Samsung Champ only Php 4980

I’ve been looking for Azrael’s website last week when this phone catches my attention. According to the website it only cost Php 4980. A full touch screen LCD cellphone. Nowadays phone are really getting cheaper and wiser. I saw it on SM Taytay today. On one outlet at the electronics section. Although Sun Cellular, a provider of unlimited call and text, is also having this cellphone as free for those who would avail of their Plans.

 

I would describe it as  not an ordinary full touchscreen feature phone, because it actually comes with a rather small 2.4-inch resistive display. Designed with younger users in mind, the Samsung Champ will come in several color solutions, including deep black, espresso brown, sweet pink and chic white. On the features side, in addition to the 2.4" touch-sensitive screen with resolution of 240x320 pixels, the Samsung Champ also sports a 1.3-megapixel camera, 3.5mm jack, Bluetooth 2.1, microSD memory expansion and the TouchWiz Lite user interface with multiple home screen pages.
