The phone is fashionable and luxurious that the women would love to flaunt in the parties and social events. Yes, this handset is particularly aimed at the women section of the mobile phone users and the presence of "Diva" in the name proves that. Whenever there is an important notification, the hidden LED screen of the device illuminates. The silver embossed cover is definitely going to set new fashion trend. The phone is perfectly designed with attractive features and special fonts. One of the fabulous features is a “wish list” that can be used to keep track of shopping lists. Apart from that, the phone can be easily sent into the silent mode by using its special "etiquette mode.” The Diva Folder is also loaded with "fake call" feature that is very helpful for the women users.

Nothing is disclosed about the price yet.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder – The Design and Display

The handset is made in a clamshell form factor and it is a folder device, which is evident from its name. The phone features a semi transparent mirror surface flip that hides the external display of the phone. The external display is extremely fancy that anyone would love to acquire it. The display screen of the phone is 2.2 inches and it is a TFT screen. The main display comes with 240 x 320 pixels resolution and 16 million colour display. The device also supports TouchWIZ user interface with widgets capabilities. This main display appears by opening the flip of the phone. The major functioning keys such as the call key, end key, menu button and numeric keypad are all displayed once the phone is flip opened. The overall dimension of the phone is 94 x 47 x 17.4 mm and it weighs 82.8 grams. Samsung S5150 Diva folder is an extremely glamorous mobile.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder – Network and Connectivity

Diva Folder is mainly targeted for the party freak female socialites who love to flaunt gorgeous looking new accessories. In terms of network, there is nothing very special in the Diva Folder. In fact, 3G and WLAN are missing in this mobile phone and it is the major drawback of the handset. The mobile phone supports 2G network GSM 900/ 1800/ 1900. However, for data transfer and connectivity, the device features Class 12 GPRS and EDGE along with v2.0 microUSB and Bluetooth® v2.1 with A2DP.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder – Memory

Both Samsung S7070 Diva and S5150 Diva Folder are announced together and these phones have almost similar features. The memory feature is exactly the same in these two devices. Diva Folder includes an internal memory of 40 MB, which is quite impressive and sufficient for storing 1000 phonebook entries and call records of last thirty dialed, received and missed calls. It is obvious that a mere 40 MB of memory is not enough to enjoy all the vital features of the mobile phone such as music, videos and camera. Therefore, the handset is going to be made available with microSD™ (TransFlash) card slot that can expand the memory up to 8 GB externally.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder Review – Battery

Samsung provides nice battery feature in its mobile phones. Without good battery, even the best of features become meaningless. S5150 Diva Folder is powered by standard Li-Ion 800 mAh battery. Its efficient battery can run up to 7 hours in the talk time mode while on the stand by mode, it can run up to 470 hours. The battery feature of the handset is definitely up to the mark.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder – Music and Video

Diva Folder, apart from featuring a stylish look, also provides excellent entertainment options. Music is one of the most vital and popular sources of entertainment in the mobile phones. Many people purchase mobile phones just for the purpose of listening music. Though Diva Folder is not a dedicated music handset, but its music features are certainly quite good. The handset is loaded with a built-in music player that can play music files such as MP3, WAV, eAAC+ and WMV. Apart from music, one can also enjoy videos in the phone as there is an integrated media player that supports MP4, H.263. and H.264.

Samsung S5150 Diva folder Review – Camera

Samsung S5150 Diva Folder is perfect for using in the parties. If you have visited a party, you would definitely like to take some snaps with your mobile phone. The handset is loaded with 3.15 mega pixel camera with auto focus. The resolution of the images is 3.15 MP, 2048 x 1536 pixels and there is no secondary camera for video recording. The camera supports QVGA video recording. You can also enjoy the retouching effect of the images by using the “Lomo Effect” of the phone. This feature turns even the simplest pictures into artsy images.

Considering all these aspects, it can be said that Samsung S5150 Diva folder is definitely going to be one of the most sought after mobile phones in 2010. So, far the mobile manufacturing company has not disclosed any information about the price of the phone.
