Samsung has introduced a new handset which the company promised will be amongst the most powerful on the market.

The company said that the new Jet handset would use a processor running at up to 800mhz and offer such features as multi-touch support, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync support and a sharper screen quality.

AdvertisementSamsung hopes that the Jet will be able to take advantage of what has been a growing demand for computing power in handsets to keep up with more complex software offerings.

Apple recently beefed up the processing power for its iPhone 3G S handset, pushing the speed from 400mhz to 600mhz.

In addition to the new processor and WBGA AMOLED screen, the Jet will use the company’s new TouchWiz 2.0 interface. Samsung hopes that the device will appeal in an increasingly crowded smartphone market that recently added the iPhone 3G and Palm Pre.

“Samsung Jet provides a seamless and unrivalled mobile experience as a result of our accumulated technology leadership and pursuit of perfect craftsmanship,” said JK Shin, executive vice president and head of mobile communications for Samsung.

“Our aim is to deliver ultimate satisfaction to our consumers and I believe that Samsung Jet answers the calls of today’s mobile users who want smart features and easy-to-use user interface.”
