Samsung I7110 Announced & Reviewed


At the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, Samsung announced a new beast after its stellar Innov8. The Samsung I7110 is an S60 3rd Edition FP2 device that has a lot to brag about. An awesome 2.4″ OLED screen, a 5MP camera with LED flash, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth, an optical mouse for a more intuitive browsing experience, an accelerometer, built-in GPS with geotagging and navigation (only 10 European cities supported), an FM Transmitter.

Being an S60 device, the I7110 will allow you to install tons of 3rd-party applications and hence transform it into a mobility powerhouse. At only 12.9mm thick, and with a metallic body, the I7110 is definitely a looker and a very tempting alternative for the Nokia N85.

Unwired View has had their hands on the device and bring us a small introductory video:

The I7110 has also already been fully reviewed and although it obviously doesn’t beat the Innov8, it still is a very good value for money. The OLED screen is certainly a winner, as well as its great camera which delivers better results than the N96, its thin and slim design as well as the inclusion of Route 66 for the GPS. Every other feature on the I7110’s software works well. On the negatives, there seems to be a problem with the soft keys which are apparently difficult to use and poorly designed. Of course, this is still a prototype so Samsung can still fix this problem before the official release.
