The Samsung Champ is an entry-level mobile phone that was announced by Samsung in May 2010 (model numbers GT-C3300 and GT-C3303). An updated version was introduced in August 2011 (model number GT-C3303i).[1] It was also marketed as Samsung Libre, Star Mini and Player Mini, the latter two an evolution of the Samsung GT-S5230.
Samsung Champ features a quad band GSM support along with a 40 MB internal flash memory (expandable up to 8 GB via microSD), a 2.4-inch, 240 x 320-pixel resistive touchscreen display, and runs on a proprietary operating system featuring a 'lite' version of the TouchWiz interface.[2]
The phone is equipped with a 3.5 mm audio jack, which enables it to be connected with any earphones or speakers of daily use. The phone also comes with dual speakers, a built in voice equalizer, a Bluetooth messenger, and an FM radio with an internal antenna.[3] There is also a digital camera on select models (1.3-megapixel camera).
The Samsung Champ was one of the cheapest touchscreen phones available to buy in the market, with prices ranging between $30 and $35. Due to its low price and compact size, the phone was very popular with young users[4] and those located in developing markets across Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.[5] It was succeeded by Samsung Champ 2 (GT-C3330).
