Samsung India has announced the launch of the Samsung Hero, positioned as the country's first Anti-theft Mobile Tracker and Emergency SOS Alert CDMA phone.
According to the company, the new handset is targeted at consumers who want the twin benefits of high quality mobility and affordability.
A slim and stylish phone, the Samsung Hero prominently features an anti-theft mobile tracker, as also an emergency SOS alert.
Commenting on the launch, H C Ryu, managing director, Samsung India, said, "We are pleased to launch the country's first phone with Anti Theft Mobile Tracker feature and Emergency SOS alert system. These features add to the everyday safety of consumers, and minimize the pain of losing one's mobile phone. With the launch of Hero, Tata Indicom customers will be the first to enjoy this technology introduced by Samsung in the country."
The Anti Theft Mobile Tracker, according to the company, has been introduced for the first time by Samsung and Tata Indicom. In the event the phone is stolen, and the number is replaced, the feature enables the handset to automatically send an SMS to up to two pre-selected numbers, giving the contact number of the new user without his/her knowledge.
The other feature, the Emergency SOS Alert, is meant to ensure that help is close- at-hand in the user's hour-of-need.
When the user senses trouble, all he/she has to do is press the "C" key four times, and the handset automatically sends-out an SOS SMS to up to 10 numbers pre-selected by the user. The SMS alerts receivers that the user needs help. Upon calling back the user, his/her handset automatically receives calls, thereby facilitating instant communication.
The Samsung Hero mobile handset is immediately available through Tata Indicom True Value Shops and True Value Hubs for Rs 1,499, and comes along with seven days validity plus Rs 50 worth of initial talk time.
