Samsung Omnia Lite B7300. Light, slight, bright
The Omnia range of phones from Samsung are all about everything. That is, about having the most, the best and then even more crammed into the handsets. The fastest internet connections, the largest memory, the longest talk time etc. Not surprising, really, given that ‘Omnia’ means everything. The Samsung Omnia Lite though is an attempt to take some of what’s best of the Omnia range, and deliver it in a more streamlined package. The cream from the top of the milk, if you like.
So while the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 might not be delivering the very best of everything, it’s doing a very good job of delivering a lot for what should be – in smartphone terms at least – a reasonable rate. And thanks to the slimming down of some of the less vital features, the phone is also a hell of a lot less bulky than its older Omnia siblings. At only 13mm thick it will in fact be one of the slimmest smartphones on the market.
So what will you be getting for your money? Well, as you should expect, not the top end kind of specs you’d expect if you were paying top whack, but it’s also a not too shoddy line-up either:
- GPRS + EDGE + UMTS (3G) + HSDPA + WiFi data connectivity
- 3.0″ touchscreen with 240 x 400 pixels, 65k colours
- 3 megapixel camera
- TouchWiz 2.0
- 107 x 52 x 13mm
- 103 grams
- Bluetooth 2.0
- 250MB of internal memory, expandable with MicroSD to 32GB
- GPS
- FM radio
- OS: Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
And that Windows Mobile 6.1 will be fully upgradeable to 6.5 if that hasn’t happened already by the time this thing ships. We think the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 might make a lot of people very happy indeed, especially those who’ve been tempted by the Omnia range, but have shied away from paying the kinds of prices necessary for them.
