South Korean mobile phone maker has just launched a new device on the market in India, the touchscreen-enabled B5722.

According to the news, the phone will also be known on the market as the B5722 DUOS.

The specifications list of the new Samsung B5722 includes a 2.8-inch touchscreen display that boasts a QVGA resolution and support for 65k colors, along with a 3.2-megapixel photo snapper, and 30MB of internal memory. However, the phone also comes with a microSD memory card slot, offering users the possibility to add up to 8GB of additional storage space into the equation. The handset comes as a GSM+GSM dual SIM phone, enabling the use of two GSM SIM cards with it at the same time and the switch between them without the need to restart the device.
