Samsung BeatDJ and BeatDISC shift the focus from the screen, with smaller 400x240 AMOLED displays, towards audio: both have integrated Bang & Olufsen audio systems, including amps, that provide relatively powerful sound for cellphones. They also add a unique DJ scratch mode that uses the touchscreen for a virtual turntable to add effects to tracks that can be saved later. The two carry 3-megapixel cameras, GPS and full tri-band 3G using HSPA, but neither includes Wi-Fi.
Samsung splits the DJ and DISC models by giving the DISC a slide-out number pad while the DJ is almost exclusively touch-driven. Despite the high-profile announcements, none of the phones have been given release dates or pricing. Including 850MHz frequencies points to very likely North American releases on AT&T or Rogers, though none of these have mentioned their plans.
