Samsung L310 measures 93 x 44 x 17.9 millimeters and comes in black and gold with fancy patterns that offer a refined look, while Samsung L320 is a bit thicker, at 89 x 45.5 x 23.5 millimeters, has a smoothly curved design and comes dressed in vivid nuances of blue.

Samsung Unveils Samsung L170

January 23, 2008

Samsung just unveiled Samsung L170 (or Samsung SGH-L170), a handset that comes with a rare and beautiful design. Its metallic look combined with the unusual form will surely attract mobile fans who want a phone that can easily stand out. Samsung L170 is actually a candybar phone, one that packs a unique touch-sensitive keypad and a large navigation pad. Unlike the usual touch-sensitive keypads, the one that L170 brings is not flat and could be mistaken for a standard keypad with real buttons.

The phone measures 102.3 x 45.8 x 10.7 millimeters and weighs only 86 grams, thus being one of the slimmest and most lightweight 3G handsets ever created. Unfortunately, Samsung L170 has a small display when compared to other newly released phones, an 1.6 inch one that offers a 220 x 176 pixel resolution.

L170 is a tri-band GSM phone (900 / 1800 / 1900 MHz) with 3G (UMTS 2100) and EDGE. It packs a 2 Megapixel camera with Auto focus, Flash and video recording, as well as a secondary VGA camera for video calls. The phone comes with Media Player, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, USB 2.0, WAP 2.0 / xHTML and NetFront browser, Java MIDP 2.0, FM radio with RDS, Google search, mobile blogging and handsfree. The handset provides only 21 MB of built-in memory, but it can be extended with a microSD TransFlash card, most probably for up to at least another 2 GB.

The battery included in Samsung L170 can offer a talk-time of almost 3 hours and a stand-by time of up to 250 hours . Samsung L170 should hit the market until the end of 2008’s first quarter. No information about the retail price yet.
