Samsung has recently announced the launch of the G600 and plans on a future release of the G800 5 megapixel camera phones. They have kept a low word on their new i550 model, although this one too has some interesting specifications to pride about.

Samsung i550 has a rather unusual design, coming from this producer. It is the first candy-bar Symbian smartphone on the South Korean market, which makes it quite special. The slim, small, but long buttons resemble those seen on some Sony Ericsson handsets and definitely break the line of regular Samsung cellular design.

One thing that many people will thrill over is the small sizes of this handset. Samsung i550 comes at 115 x 53 x 13.8 mm. That is extra slim, especially when considering the fact that the smartphone also packs GPS performances, which is supposed to make a difference in size. Moreover, the fact that it packs this technology makes the phone ready for facing competition from other large producers, as Nokia has decided to make all its handsets GPS-enabled from now on.

Samsung i550 also has a 3.2 megapixel camera, which will provide captures at a quality above the average that other mobile phones have set. They will look great on the 2.6 inch display screen and will also have a microSD card slot so the user does not have to cram them all on the small internal data storage space.

The phone also supports 3G and HSDPA technology for data transfer speeds of up to 3.6 Mbps. Moreover, there is also 128 MB of RAM and microUSB connectivity as to make the pack complete.

Information on Samsung i550 is only slim, although an official announcement from the producer should cast some light on when it will be available for purchase and whether it will make it outside Korea too. Details on the price are also unknown at the time.
