Samsung Electronics today announced the introduction of the GALAXY Star and GALAXY Pocket Neo, featuring performance, intelligent features and enhanced dual SIM functionality. Aimed at the younger generation of mobile users, the GALAXY Star and GALAXY Pocket Neo are designed with a compact form factor and packed with the latest Android user experience, multimedia and content sharing possibilities.

Both devices feature a compact, curved form factor to easily fit in your pocket or small bag and natural to operate using one hand. The GALAXY Star and GALAXY Pocket Neo are powered by a 1GHz and 850 MHz processor, respectively, and are combining Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean) with the Touchwiz interface. Built-in widgets offer one-click shortcuts to weather and other recently-used applications for quick access to real-time notifications. Both devices can also detect simple movements to complete common tasks. When unavailable to accept a call, users can simply flip over the device to mute the ringer. Users can also scan the Bluetooth connected devices or wireless access points by simply shaking the devices.



The phones provide users the flexibility of two phone numbers for calling, texting and web usage through their Dual SIM functionality that includes settings for easy call and security management. Utilizing the Always On feature, there's no reason to miss a call with call forwarding to the other SIM even while you're on the phone using the other. On top of that, with its UX called Quick Panel and Widget, switching SIMs on a home screen has never been easier than before. Users can even choose one of numbers when they send a text message as there are two different sending buttons for two numbers on the same page.
