The Samsung Omnia Lite will be one of the first mid-range touchscreen phones from Samsung and we think it’s going to be a cracker. Although not as fully spec’ed as many other touchscreen devices out there, we think it’s got enough going for it to be a more than decent (and definitely affordable option) come its release date later this year.
One of the biggest plus points for the Samsung Omnia Lite, in our humble opinion, is the inclusion of version 2.0 of TouchWiz, Samsung’s User Interface that makes navigating through all the different menus and functions of the phone an absolute pleasure. Too many touchscreen interfaces are clunky and seem barely designed with actual users in mind, so it’s great to see Samsung updating an already decent piece of kit. In a similar way, the 3D multimedia player looks like it’ll be great fun to use, as well as being functional. There’s also multi-push email access, Microsoft Office Suite and HSDPA and WiFi connectivity, plus an integral Opera Browser for the smoothest internet browsing around. The 3 megapixel camera might not be the best around but it’ll do for most day-to-day usage, and the now standard A-GPS completes a modestly impressive line up.
And thanks to the trimmings Samsung have made from the typical beefcakes of the Omnia range, you’ll also be pleased to hear the Lite comes in a slim, if not quite dinky, package too. At just 13mm thick it’s one of the slimmest smartphones around in fact.
So if you want a whole range of functions at your fingertips but don’t want to rob a bank to afford them, there’s a good chance you’re going to be made very happy indeed by the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300. Check out this longer Samsung Omnia Lite review for more persuading.
