Say hello to the Helio Fin. Manufactured by Samsung, the Fin is the thinnest flip phone on the US market, measuring in at a cool 11.4 millimeters.
Being the first flip phone launched by Helio, the Fin is born under the Ocean’s shadow, but don’t underestimate this little powerhouse.
On the exterior of the phone lies a 3 megapixel camera. The pictures and videos you capture can be instantly uploaded to Flickr or YouTube, quite speedily at that, over Helio’s 3G network. Inside is 100MB of internal storage that can be expanded via microSD to a maximum capacity of 4GB. Additionally, the Fin sports stereo Bluetooth support, meaning you can listen to your music library through any set of Bluetooth headphones.
The Fin includes Google Maps-navigation right out of the box, but Helio is also announcing Garmin Navigation for the Fin and Ocean. The fee for the GPS service is $2.99; steep, but acceptable for when Google Maps isn’t the best way to go.
The Fin is available now for $17.
