Penny Mobiles – Mobile phone news, reviews & information

2009 is a good year for fans and enthusiasts of Android smart phones as plenty of little Android devices are both released and announced this year. Samsung’s Android phone is about to hit UK shores soon –it is expected, but not confirmed, to be arriving within this November.

When the news of the Galaxy Lite first broke out, it appeared as if the HTC Tattoo (formerly known as the HTC Tattoo) and the i5700 were about to have a low-end Android standoff. The prediction could not be more true; if not for the fact that T-Mobile has joined the fray with its own Pulse Android smart phone. With three great devices to choose from, low-end Android fans have a lot to rejoice about.

Lite Hardware and Features

Still, low-end is not exactly a fitting term for the Galaxy Lite. It may not have the huge internal storage of the original nor the 5 mega pixel camera, but Galaxy Lite reviews still place the device in the mid-tier rank. The i5700 Galaxy Lite sports 1GB of internal memory, a 3.2 mega pixel camera with auto focus, a removable 1500 mAh Li-on battery, micro USB, a micro SD and Transflash card slot, quad band network support and compatibility with 3G HSDPA, EDGE, and GPRS. Being an Android mobile phone, the Galaxy Lite will be able to access many Android applications such as Google Maps, Google Talk, and Google Mail.

Launch Delays

Do not let these specifications impress you so early, Galaxy Lite contracts are going to be available once the device officially launches, but it will not be this November. The Galaxy Lite has taken some delays and will be launching sometime next year; though this still might change as Samsung has yet to make any final announcements. Android fans are looking forward to this phone since it applied for the “Google Experience” which should increase its functions.

Although expected to be released in October 2009, it seems that the people who are looking to purchase a quality smartphone with Android on a budget, and have been waiting for the release of Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite for a while, would have to wait a little longer. Samsung has decided to delay the release of Samsung Galaxy i5700, and it is not expected to appear in the markets before 2010. Apparently this decision seems to be taken in order to ensure that the sales of Samsung Galaxy i7500, the debut Android smartphone release for Samsung is not affected by the release of its much anticipated sister.

Samsung Galaxy i7500 is a much superior smartphone in quality and features to the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite, but at the same time, it will bear a much higher price tag. A number of mobile phone manufacturers are releasing Android phones this October and the stakes for all of them are high as far as their products with the Android platform are concerned. The Android fever is equally gripping the consumers, which is obviously why manufacturers are concentrating all their attention to how well their Android phones perform in the markets. As Samsung Galaxy i7500 is released in the UK on O2, its performance will heavily determine how Samsung will be able to make its mark in the Android phones market. But nevertheless, Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite will offer a good addition and variation in the inventory of Samsung Android phones. Both the phones will feature Android 1.5 version.

The official picture releases of Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite reveal their availability in white-lime green and black-red color schemes. Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite will be featuring a 3.2 mega pixel camera instead of a 5.0 mega pixel camera offered by the Samsung Galaxy i7500, the first Android release by Samsung. Wait to hear about the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite on contract.
