Three new low-end phones from Samsung

Today, three unannounced Samsung handsets have been seen - the SGH-M620, SGH-B200, and the SGH-B110. First up, the M620: this phone features a 1.9” LCD screen, Micro SD card slot, FM radio, which allows you to record the radio station you are listening to – ala the G600.


The B200 features dual-band GSM connectivity, is a candybar handset, with a 128 x 128 pixel screen. It's internal memory amounts to a paltry 2MB. The M620 and B200 are set to be available in Asia from July, with them being available in areas outside of Asia sometime thereafter. No details, except for a picture, were available for the B110. The M620 is pictured on the left, the B200 in the middle, and the B110 on the right.

Thinnest 5 megapixel slider from LG

LG's black label series has got another new edition – the KF750. Like the Viewty, it features a five megapixel camera, capable of recording VGA video, at 120 FPS in DivX format. At a slender 11.8 mm, it's the thinnest five megapixel cameraphone to date.


The screen is touch-sensitive, measuring 2.4 inches, with haptic feedback support. Obviously, as it's a slider, the screen isn't as big as the candybar Viewty. The K750 will obviously support Bluetooth, and will come with a host of Google applications pre-installed. It is set to ship sometime this May.

More details on Motorola ZN5

Below is an image of the upcoming high-end ZN5 from Motorola, in all of its glory. The camera sensor is made by Kodak, so hopefully the camera should be somewhat decent, which can't be said for many of Motorola's handsets.


Unfortunately, as we revealed last week, the handset is missing a 3G radio, so it's GSM-only we're afraid. Still, the morphing keypad, seen also in the E8 should hopefully make up for it somewhat.
