Samsung gets official with the Omnia II, Omnia Pro & Omnia Lite
We saw the majority of the details on these little devils from Samsung a little earlier on today but it’s always nice to get the official.
Omnia II
Ladies and germs, meet the Omnias – the latest family to move into smartphone street. First up is the Omnia II (I800), successor to the original Omnomnomnia.comcomcomnia. It’s got a very pretty 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, the same kind of 5-megapixel camera with CMOS sensor and the TouchWiz 2.0 interface to mask the joys of Windows Mobile 6.1.
There’s the same fantastic audio and video codec support as on the Jet, and the other Omnias too as it goes, as well as A2DP Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA too. All present and correct.
A-GPS is in the house, as is a 3.5mm jack, you get a much better 1500 mAh battery than on the Jet and it measures a very similar sounding 118 x 60 x 11.9 mm. It’s available in 2GB/8GB/16GB sizes all expandable with microSD and all in all sounds like a decent buy.
Omnia Pro
Next up is the OmniaPRO B7610, or what we called the Louvre not too long ago, and it’s designed as a work/play combo machine.
The hard QWERTY sets it out from the other handsets but there’s still a 5-megapixel CMOS camera and 3.5-inch WVGA AMOLED touchscreen to go with it. It’s compatible with all Office apps and works with Opera Mini 9.5.
It still does all the tricks available on the Omnia II but there’s only the 1GB of expandable storage and the keyboard does make it a little chunkier at 12.6 x 57.8 x 16.2 mm.
Omnia Lite
The Lite does what it says on the tin. It’s a slightly stripped down, and probably cheaper, version of the Omnia II. Again, generous on the codecs but a lower resolution and still impressive sounding 3-megapixel CMOS sensor camera to play with. Just a 3-inch WQVGA display this time around though.
There’s a smaller 250MB of expandable storage but the 107 x 51.8 x 12.9 mm, 103g phone has still got that big old 1500 mAh battery which should mean it lasts you a good while.
If you like a Samsung phone, then today has officially been your lucky day.
