The Anycall Origin or the SCH-W690 from Samsung is a phone made for the active seniors. The handset has a 2.6 inch AM-OLED screen, a front-facing camera, a 2 megapixel camera, FM radio, GPS and 8GB of internal memory. Well it’s certainly a great phone to use no matter who the buyer is.

Other features include the smile-shutter feature which will help you capture photos automatically of subjects when they smile. There are also some health related features which might come in hand to those active seniors.

For now the phone is available in Korea where it has been launched but we don’t have any pricing details yet.
