Samsung Galaxy Spica Coming to UK as Galaxy Portal

Samsung are known for producing reliable and reasonably priced mobile phones. They have been an active mobile phone company for years, and are right up there with other big name brands. Their latest phone, the I5700 Galaxy Portal has just been released, and is currently available in Europe, Asia and the Middle East. The phone itself is a slight downgrade from the Galaxy i7500, and this may be some indication as to why the Portal was previously referred to as the Galaxy Lite.

It features a 3 megapixel camera, which won’t give you outstanding quality but will still enable you to capture your favorite moments or special times. Running on the Android operating system developed by Google, and running an 800MHz CPU the phone is fast and will not take a long to perform small tasks such as loading up and starting applications.

The phone has heavy links to Google, and this can be seen with the high levels of integration. For instance, usually to access Google programs you have to open up an internet browser and go to Google and then find the application. With the Galaxy Portal, there are programs built into the phone that direct you straight to the program, so for instance if you clicked on a Google Maps link, you would be taken straight there saving you time and effort. The phone has GPS compatibility which will give you access to the internet, although not as quick as other systems would such as 3G. It won’t be long before you will be able to pick up the i5700 Galaxy Portal on contract or pay as you go, with Samsung set to release the handset in the coming months through T-Mobile.
