Samsung I5500 Galaxy 5
Samsung expands its portfolio with the name of the new Galaxy model for the less affluent people - Galaxy 5 (I5500). The phone is equipped with a 2.8-inch TFT touch screen with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Galaxy 5 has only a 2 megapixel camera with LED flash – quite disappointing since you will not take excellent quality photos with it. The phone supports 3G HSDPA 7.2 Mbps and has Bluetooth 2.1, USB 2.0 connectivity, WiFi 802.11b/g, GPS with Assisted-GPS.
As for the multimedia features, the phone has an FM radio with RDS, 3.5-millimeter headphone jack, and of course a music player that supports the most popular file formats. Galaxy 5 has only 170 MB of the internal memory, but it is also equipped with a microSD memory card slot that will allow you to extend it to up to 16GB. As I already mentioned, Samsung I5500 has a Google's Android operating system version 2.1, and the great Touch Wiz 3.0 user interface. The battery (1200 mAh) allows for 387 minutes in talk mode, 3G, or up to 375 hours of standby time.
Samsung Galaxy 5 will be launched in July 2010, but its price is not yet known.
