Dubai: Samsung Electronics, a leading provider of mobile phones, yesterday launched Samsung D880, the newest dual SIM card mobile phone that allows users to use two active lines separately through two SIM cards, Samsung said in a statement.
The new phone, which will help consumers carry two numbers in a single device, will be available next month, a Samsung spokesperson said.
"It will be retailed at around Dh1,549," the spokesperson said.
The dual SIM card slider has a stylish look featuring a shining front surface and measures at 18.9mm thick. The compact slide up design is easy to carry and use, while the sleek and sophisticated surface adds professional polish to the user's style.
Steve Han, general manager of the hand-held phones division at Samsung Gulf Electronics commented, "Samsung D880 automatically switches between SIM cards according to the consumer's needs and network access.
"The phone enables the user to use two active lines separately which eliminates the need to carry one phone per active SIM card. With the new D880, the user can enjoy a hassle-free mobile experience along with the functionality of two mobiles in one sleek unit."
Another intrinsic feature about the D880 is the large battery which uses 1200mA, significantly more than other batteries.
The user will be able to access dual roaming feature of the phones, which requires more battery power for the constantly searching signals, without depleting the battery life.
