    Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700

    Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700Samsung officially unveiled their latest Android powered handset, the i5700 Galaxy Spica.

    The Samsung Galaxy Spica is powered by an 800MHz CPU, and features a 3.2-inch HVGA (320 x 480 pixel) TFT display, a 3 mega-pixel camera, a fast HSDPA connection and 180Mb of internal memory with microSDHC card support.

    Powered by Android 1.5 (Cupcake), the Spica will also be the first Android handset to include support for DivX video playback. According to Samsung The Galaxy Spica is already available in Europe and Russia, and is expected to launch in Africa and the Middle East shortly. At present the device doesn’t support North American 3G bands, with support limited to GSM and EDGE.

    In terms of looks, the Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 remains true to the spirit of its predecessor, the Galaxy, but comes with a more youthful appearance. The 3.2-inch AMOLED screen utilizes capacitive technology.

    Other features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS and 3.5mm audio jack. When it comes to the camera, you’ll be disappointed to find that the Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 ships with a 3.2-Megapixel CCD, which is fine for daily use but lacks the power of the 5-Megapixel devices being found on most new Android devices.

    The Samsung Galaxy Spica i5700 is expected to cost around £20 Euros (£284) when it ships before the end of the year.
