The Samsung Intensity II is a 2G cellular device launched on July 29, 2010, exclusively for the Verizon Wireless network. As the follow-up to the original Samsung Intensity, this feature phone adopts a slider design and was primarily targeted toward a teenage audience.
Specifications
Identified by model number SCH-U460, the Intensity II belongs to Samsung's Intensity lineup and operates on the Verizon Wireless network.[1] Released after the 2009 Samsung Intensity, this model retains a similar appearance:[2] it measures 4.51 by 2.87 by 0.10 inches (114.6 mm × 72.9 mm × 2.5 mm), weighs approximately 4.1 ounces (120 g),[1] and features a slider form factor.[3]
The device's 2G radio emits a specific absorption rate of 1.04 watts per kilogram (0.00063 hp/lb) when held to the head, and 0.87 watts per kilogram (0.00053 hp/lb) at the body level. It also includes connectivity options such as Bluetooth, a built-in Global Positioning System, and a Full Speed USB 2.0 port. For input, users can utilize both a full QWERTY keyboard and voice recognition capabilities.[1]
Equipped with 100.95 megabytes of internal storage, the phone supports expansion via microSD cards up to 32 gigabytes in capacity. The rear camera offers a resolution of 1.3 megapixels, includes an LED flash, and supports digital zoom up to 10×. Its display is a 2.2 -inch[convert: unknown unit] diagonal QVGA screen with a resolution of 240 by 320 pixels. Battery life is rated at up to 300 hours on standby and up to 300 minutes for talk time.[1] Marketed towards teenagers,[2] Samsung promoted the device as environmentally conscious due to its use of recycled plastics and absence of harmful substances like beryllium and polyvinyl chloride.[3] The handset was available in two color variants: "metallic blue" and "deep gray".[2]
The integrated media player supports audio formats including Advanced Audio Coding, Advanced Systems Format, High-Efficiency Advanced Audio Coding, MIDI, MP3, and Windows Media Audio. Web browsing is facilitated through a WAP 2.0 browser.[1] Messaging applications preloaded on the device include AOL Instant Messenger, Facebook, MSN Messenger, Multimedia Messaging Service, MySpace, SMS, Twitter, and Yahoo! Messenger.[2]
Reception
The device received a score of 7 out of 10 from CNET, which noted that its close resemblance to the original Intensity model was both advantageous and disadvantageous. While the QWERTY keyboard was praised for enhancing the use of its robust communication features, the navigation buttons and the 2.5mm audio jack were considered too small, impacting user convenience.
