As various mobile phone manufacturers are slowly moving towards the Android platform with the growing popularity of the operating system developed by Google, Samsung has also made its debut with the release of Samsung Galaxy i7500. Samsung seeks to even strengthen its grip on this dimension of the mobile telecommunications as it announces a second phone with the Android operating system called Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite. However, don’t expect it to be released any time before the year 2010 starts. Like the Samsung i7500, the i5700 Galaxy Lite features a 3.2” AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of 320 x 480 pixels and 24 bit color. The phone is fuelled by a Li-ion 1500 mAh battery.
Samsung i5700 features network connectivity modes like GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, HSUPA and GSM. The phone will also feature support to Wi-Fi connectivity like the Samsung i7500. A noticeable difference between both the phones is the fact that Samsung i5700 features a 3.2 mega pixel camera as compared to the 5.0 mega pixel camera that is featured in the Samsung i7500. This factor, added by the lower 200 MB internal memory of Samsung i5700 as compared to the 8GB internal memory of Samsung i7500, gives you the impression that Samsung i5700 will surely be the cheaper version of the i7500.
As the phone is equipped with the Android feature, it obviously comes with all its benefits, including the Google Chrome browser, Gmail, Google Talk, Google search, maps, calendar, Android market and other information services. Other features of the phone include Bluetooth, USB, GPS, voice recording, speakerphone, 3.5 mm headphone jack and multimedia playback with support to file formats such as MP3, WMA and MPEG-4.
Samsung i5700 will help strengthen Samsung’s grip on the market of Android mobiles, especially if it lies in a relatively affordable price range but will also be available on Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite contract as well.
