Samsung leaks new smartphone details

Posted: 14 October 2008

Details have emerged relating to a new candybar-style handset from South Korean manufacturer Samsung.

The company has yet to announce anything official with regards the i7110 smartphone, however, Mobile Gazette reports that a low resolution image has appeared along with some of the handset's specifications.

It states that these have "been let slip" from Samsung itself and confirm that the new phone will be a successor to the i550 smartphone and will be equipped with 3.5G technology.

A Symbian OS will be onboard as well as a five-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED flash and GPS compatibility.

The integrated multimedia player can be used alongside a microSD slot capable of supporting up to 16GB of data and an FM radio and 240 x 320 pixel OLED screen will also feature.

"At a guess, the Symbian implementation will be similar to the one on the excellent Samsung i8510, but the handset itself is much more conventional to look at," the site predicts.

One of Samsung's latest flagship handsets is the touchscreen-enabled Omnia, which is currently available on a range of contracts.
