A brand new smartphone is about to hit the UK called the Samsung Loches S8300. We first heard about the S8300 back in December but thanks to a leak this week the full name of Samsung Loches is now known.
Apparently the Loches will be announced at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on February 16th with a launch date of March 2009.
The Loches is a 12.8mm thick slider handset with a black and orange colour scheme. Reminds me of Sony Ericsson’s Walkman phones, however their use of orange was a bit more subtle! It has a duralumin body with anti-scratch and anti-fingerprint coating. It features a 2.8inch OLED touch screen with a WQVGA resolution and 16 million colours, as well as a 12-key keypad.
It uses Samsung’s TouchWiz finger friendly interface, featuring various widgets for a customisable home screen and has an accelerometer for auto rotating webpages, camera, pictures, etc.
