Samsung have obviously been using the Royal Mail to shuttle their corporate updates around the globe, as three weeks after Samsung Russia officially announced the Galaxy Spica I5700 the company’s Korean HQ have pushed out their own press release. As before, they’ve confirmed that the Android-based Spica has an 800MHz processor, 3.2-megapixel camera and 3.5mm headphone jack, all in a casing measuring 13.2mm thick.
When HTC aren’t commissioning new ad campaigns they’re making smartphones, and while we would hate to put words in their collective mouth it seems highly likely that the HTC Dragon will end up packing Android 2.0. While Motorola may have beaten HTC to the jump with announcing the first Android 2.0 smartphone, albeit briefly, Gearlog have confirmed that the company is indeed already playing with the next-gen version of Google’s open-source platform.
Samsung Russia have officially announced the Galaxy Spica, the company’s second Android smartphone and the moderately-diminuative follow-up to the Galaxy I7500. The Samsung Spica has a 3.2-inch display, 800MHz processor and 128MB of memory, according to the press release, together with quadband GSM and dualband 900/2100 UMTS/HSPA.
The Samsung i5700 Spica (aka Galaxy Lite) may still be some way off – early 2010, in fact, if the rumors are to be believed – but that hasn’t stopped some pre-production units arriving into hands early. ai.rs have managed to acquire a device and, after masking what we’re assuming is a carrier logo, have made a video preview.
