Coming Soon: Samsung Galaxy Lite

The Galaxy Lite is essentially the same phone as the Galaxy i7500 except with a few cost-saving changes. While the i7500 has a 5 MP camera with LED flash and 8 GB of internal storage, the Galaxy Lite does away with the LED flash and drops the camera down to just 3.2 MP and offers 1 GB of storage capacity. While 1 GB of storage seems significantly limited compared to the 8 GB of its big brother, it’s actually not much of an issue because of the microSD expansion slot, allowing for an additional 32 GB. Most of the other specs are identical, including the AMOLED screen, although the size is not certain. Originally, the Galaxy Lite was expected to launch in October, but it seems its release date has likely been pushed back to sometime in 2010. Hopefully, the delay won’t spell doom for the phone, though, as it will likely be available for $99, if not free, with a two-year contract.
