Korean electronics giant Samsung today announced the Beat DJ music phone with technology from high-end audio maker Bang & Olufsen that lets users 'scratch' tracks on its touch screen. With Bang & Olufsen's ICEpower audio technology, the Beat DJ has significantly improved sound quality with SRS Virtual surround sound 5.1.
It has built-in stereo speakers -- powered by B&O's ICEpower amplifier -- to produce a deep rich bass and clear treble.
A DJ application lets users add voice and sound effects to their songs. With the phone's 2.8-inch AMOLED touch screen display, they can 'scratch' records and create their personal tracks.
"The Samsung Beat DJ will take music on mobile phones to a whole new level of quality and exciting user experience," said JK Shin, Samsung Electronic's Head of Mobile Communication. "With amazing sound quality and advanced music application, the Beat DJ will appeal to a growing base of consumers that want to consolidate their music playing devices without compromising on style, function and experience."
