Wow, it is such a slim and sexy touchscreen phone. Looking like a Armani phone but actually longer, the Samsung F480 Tocco is packed with better user interface like the TOUCHWiZ together with drag and drop capability. Sounds like perfect? Let’s get some hands on testing and see how it works.

Here is an unboxing Samsung F480 Tocco. It comes with a Battery, a Charger, a USB cable, a handsfree, a leather LCD cover attached to the back of the battery case cover a CD and Manual.


The advanced heat sensitive touch TOUCHWiZ interface looks great on the 2.8 inch display with only three physical buttons -- call answer, call end and menu shortcut button. There's a secondary camera on the top of the screen for video calling.


The back of the Tocco is a full stainless steel case. The design of the back is very clean and cool. There is also a 5 megapixel camera with an LED photo light.


Tocco equipped with built-in 200MB memory and microSDHC extended memory up to 8GB to suit your memory needs.
Here’s the MicroSD card slot.


Here is the extra battery lid with a leather protector. You can avoid scratching and contaminating the screen, but at the same time, it will prevent you from using the phone with ease especially when making calls.

Let’s move on to the screen.
The Tocco’s touch screen is capacitive, even faster and more responsive than previous Samsung touchscreen phones. Also has adjustable haptic feedback where the phone vibrates slightly when you touch on it. I really like the slick animations when you move between screens. For example, when you switch from the main menu to the new widgets screen, the display revolves with a pleasing 3D animation.


Reach the widgets screen then.
It is probably the most innovative aspect of the handset. There is a dock on the left-hand edge from where you can drag various applications on to your home screen to personalize it. Widgets range from a music player to digital and analogue clocks, as well as games and a picture viewer. Up to seven widgets can sit on the home screen at any one time. I love it because it provides a neat way of grouping together the stuff that you want to access most often.


The phone has got a 5 mega pixel auto focus camera with flash.


Let’s try the camera.
Besides autofocus and an LED photo light, it has face detection.


I was surprised with the smile detection function. It automatically takes a picture when it spots a smiling face in the shot.


And Tocco has a built in camera stabilizer. A steady picture is captured even if you do not have the steadiest hand when taking a shot.

Another shot by Tocco.


The downside of the phone is that it does not have WiFi or GPS. Also unlike other touchscreen phones, Samsung F480 is heat sensitive that can only be used by finger touching. The good thing about it is that it will eliminate mistaken touches. The bad thing about it is that if you are a pretty girl who has long and pretty finger nails (like one of our colleague help testing the unit) you cannot use the phone… Oh well, life is not perfect, neither is technology.
