After
leaking a
couple times, Samsung i7110 has been officially announced a few hours back. The i7110 is the
Nokia N79 rival from Samsung and has better specs than it's rival. The i7110 also runs on the S60 3rd Edition FP2 like the N79. The i7110 is very slim in size with a thickness of just 12.9 mm. Also it has a OLED 2.6 inch QVGA Screen as compared to the 2.4 inch screen of N79. The
Nokia N85 has a similar 2.6 inch AMOLED screen in it. It has an 8-way Optical Trackpad like the
Samsung i900 Omnia which allows the user to move the cursor just like a mouse.
Coming to specs, the i7110 has in addition to the screen, a 5 Mega Pixel Camera with dual LED flash. It also has geotagging, face, smile and blink detection. Also it has Wi-fi(with DLNA certification) for surfing as well as GPS for navigation. Samsung also bundles it's Samsung Navigator application which has maps of 10 European cities in it including Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Helsinki, London, Madrid, Milan, Munich, Paris, and Rome. However you can't use the Nokia Maps like you do in Nokia Mobile Phones as it's incompatible with Samsung S60 phones (atleast till now).
The i7110 can also double up as camcorder with impressive VGA recording capability and support for high speed recording also. It also comes with DNSe 2.0 Engine, like the
Samsung Innov8. Among other things it also has a FM Transmitter which allows transmitting any playing song to a nearby FM receiver. The FM transmitter can also be switched on to receive voice navigation guide via car speakers when using GPS. It also supports DivX playback natively, without any need for conversion. It also boasts of TV-out so you can view your videos & photos on your TV.
It comes with a MicroSD Card slot with support for SDHC (SD High Capacity) Cards. It comes bundled with FIFA 2008 & Asphalt Games, however Nokia's N-Gage can't run on it. The only thing missing in it are a Camera Lens Cover, Xenon Flash & a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The Samsung i7110 should be available in Europe just in time for the Christmas holidays. It will start shipping first in Russia from November 2008 with other markets following soon.
