Samsung has unveiled yet another touchscreen phone to its range, which will be available very soon according to prominent sources. Codenamed the A867 Eternity, the device looks very much like the Samsung F480 Tocco, but that’s where the similarities end.

Samsung have unveiled a new Armani embossed mobile phone to join its other mobile devices. For the new Samsung M7500 has ditched the ‘Giorgio’ name tag, going for the ‘Emporio’ name instead.

The Samsung M7500 Emporio Armani, also known as the Night Effect is a stylish and trendy candy bar shaped device, which features red, green or blue side lights displaying the Armani logo. Built as a multimedia phone, the M7500 boasts dedicated music keys as well as a media player capable of playing various audio and video formats.

The Samsung Emporio Armani also features 3G and HSDPA connectivity, but does not include a Wi-Fi connection, which might put some people off.

The Samsung Emporio Armani is due out sometime in November, prices and contracts are to be confirmed.

Even before the new Samsung Innov8 has been released, we are already hearing a rumour of another 8 megapixel camera phone is nearing completion from the large mobile phone manufacturer.

Reports suggest the device will be called the Samsung Bresson M8800 and will feature a massive 16 million colour 3.2 inch touchscreen display and an 8 megapixel camera. The Bresson M8800 will be only 15.5 millimetres thick and is widely expected to include HSDPA and 3G connectivity.

Samsung haven’t released a statement yet and no other specifications have been leaked, but don’t expect it to hit the stores anytime soon as the latest offering from Samsung, the Innov8 hasn’t even been released yet.

There will be more information on the Samsung Bresson M8800 as we get it, so keep watching this space.

The new Samsung Innov8 smartphone is one of the most advanced phones that Samsung has ever made and sports a huge 8 megapixel camera. This Symbian based smartphone also features Wi-Fi and GPS, as well as an advanced media player, with a host of other features designed to rival the Nokia N96 and N95.

The Innov8 phone has an 8 megapixel camera with a host of features lifted straight out of Samsung’s digital camera range like, autofocus and dual LED flash, face recognition and image stabiliser with built in image editing software.

The screen is a 2.8 inch QVGA display capable of displaying up to 16 million colours and supports Divx, WMV, H.263 and H.264 video files and MP3, ACC and WMA audio playback. Internal memory is rumoured to be either 8GB or 16GB depending on the version and can be upgraded with the microSD card slot by another 16GB.

Controlling the Innov8 is the Symbian S60 operating system, offering lots of applications and customisation and the phone also has Bluetooth and USB 2.0 connectivity.

The Samsung Innov8 is due for release in August; no price or network information yet, but expect it to have a similar price and contract as the Nokia N96.

The Samsung F480 or the Tocco as it is also known has been touted as an alternative to the iPhone. The Samsung F480 is stunning to look at and has obviously taken inspiration from Apple’s iPhone. Due to its smaller size (which can only be a good thing) the F480 has a 2.8 inch QVGA touchscreen with a resolution of 240×320 pixels, and is ample big enough to see everything.

One of the main plus points of the Samsung F480 is it has 3G connectivity with HSDPA for lightning fast download speeds. The phone also includes a 5 megapixel camera with face detection, LED flash and a stabiliser to capture those unforgettable moments.

The F480 supports Mpeg4 playback along with H263 and H264 video formats and includes a video editing program, allowing the users video to be edited on the go. The phone also plays mp3’s, which is fast becoming a standard feature with new phones and the microSD card slot can support up to 8GB; plenty of space to put you’re music on.

If you’re looking for an alternative for the iPhone you can’t go far wrong with the Samsung F480. Out now prices and contracts vary from network to network.
