Only two weeks have passed since the first Android-powered Samsung was officially announced and it already has company. Photos of two new Samsung handsets running on the Google's OS leaked online today, along with most of their specs sheets.
The two new Samsung handsets are codenamed Bigfoot and Spica will be running the v2.0 Donut of the Android OS. Yeap, you got that right - Android v1.5 isn't yet completely distributed to the market and v2.0 is already about to appear. According to the source the upgrade to v2.0 won't be available to every handset out there with the decision left for the carriers to make.
Samsung Bigfoot and Samsung Spica will both sport quad-band GSM and tri-band 3G connectivity. The 1700 Mhz HSDPA band on the Bigfoot hints of the fact that it will be available on T-Mobile in the USA. The two devices are basically trimmed-down version of the Samsung I7500, coming with 3" WQVGA TFT displays and 3MP autofocus cameras.
LG GC900 Viewty Smart (sometimes also called Viewty 2) is making a run for it as the next LG flagship. What can we say, when you're blue-blooded, some things come au naturel - the snappy and quite thumbable S-Class UI, the 8 megapixel camera, Wi-Fi and GPS all hide behind a 3-inch touchscreen lodged into a body that's only 12.4mm thick. We don't know about you, but by our books all that gadgetness calls for a proper inspection.
As rumors have it, the LG Viewty Smart is set to start its European tour as early as May or June, despite the fact that it has only been officially announced two weeks ago. Well, it's true, LG did tease us with a prototype back at the MWC 2009 in February, but it's only now that we get to hold it in our hands and see it in good working order. And pleased we are...
