Samsung unveiled i7110 S60 smartphone (See all news)

Today, during the Symbian Smartphone Show in London, Samsung announced their latest smartphone, the i7110. The new i7110 takes much of feature set found in Samsung's i8510 slider and packs it into a slimmer, bar shaped design.

Samsung i7110 sports a 2.6 inch AMOLED display (should deliver better image quality than a TFT) with QVGA resolution, optical track-pad and an accelerometer for auto screen rotation. Other features of the device include S60 3rd Edition, Feature Pack 2 UI, Wi-Fi (with DLNA), Bluetooth 2.0, GPS and DivX videos support.

The device comes equipped with a 5MP autofocus camera and offers some advanced camera features such as geo-tagging, face, smile and blink detection. It is also capable of recording VGA resolution video at 30fps, or QVGA video at 120fps for great slow-motion action.

The i7110 has a music player that is backed up by DNSe 2.0 audio technology and a microSDHC card slot (16GB cards supported). The phone also features an FM radio receiver and transmitter.

The handset measures only 118mm x 52mm x 12.9mm (4.6" x 2.0" x .5") and sports a 1200mAh battery that should last up to 11 hours of talk time or up to 16 days of standby time, according to the South Korean company. It supports UMTS/HSDPA 3G connections on the 900 and 2100MHz frequency bands used in Europe and Australia, so not good news for our US readers.

The Samsung i7110 will be available in Europe just in time for the Christmas holidays. It will start shipping first in Russia from November 2008 with other markets to follow soon.
