An extremely pixelated picture of the first Samsung Android smartphone
has been released, as part of a Samsung dealer presentation in
Amsterdam today. Details of the device are incomplete, but it’s known
to use a large capacitive touchscreen and a 528MHz processor of unknown manufacture.
Other known specifications are quadband GSM (850,900, 1800 and
1900MHz) together with UMTS, HSDPA 7.2Mbps and HSUPA 1.4Mbps. It’s
predicted to be made in two versions, one with US-friendly UMTS 900MHz
and the other with Europe/Asia-friendly UMTS 2100MHz support.
Elsewhere there’ll be Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP wireless stereo support and a digital camera, though there’s no specific megapixel count; expect somewhere between 3.2 and 5-megapixels.
As for storage, Samsung claim there will be a large amount of
onboard capacity, expandable with microSD cards, however no actual
figures have been confirmed. Apparently the official announcement is
not far off, but again, a specific date is not known.
