Samsung Announces New 'Diva' Phones
Techtree News Staff, Nov 23, 2009 1312 hrs ISTS7070, S5150 Olivia
Samsung has, out of nowhere, announced two new mid-range handsets at a Corby related event last week. Strangely, the new phones belong to Samsung's new design range of phones that is known as "Diva" - which is not quite, what the Corby range is all about.
The new devices in question are the S7070 and the S5150 (codenamed Olivia) - both of which belong to different design categories. One is a touchscreen, while the other is a clamshell.
Samsung S7070
We will start with the S7070 that is the touchscreen device. It comes with a large enough 3-inch resistive touchscreen, boasts of a 5 megapixel autofocus camera and Samsung's TouchWiz UI. It comes with basic connectivity features that include Bluetooth and Micro USB. No word if Wi-Fi will sneak its way in. There is FM Radio and a microSD slot for memory expansion as well. The handset is planned to hit the shelves in Q1 of 2010.
Samsung S5150
The S5150 is the other handset in question and happens to sport the clamshell form factor. The phone is targeted at the fairer sex and has a 2.2-inch QVGA display. There is an invisible second display under the mirror panel that displays basic information. This one has a 3 megapixel camera that should more than suffice for basic imaging. The Olivia is expected to be launched in early 2010 at an unannounced price. However, we presume it would be on the cheaper side.
