Images of Samsung’s S5830 hit the web; Galaxy S Mini?

mobile

The Samsung hardware ship has been leaking like a sieve over the last several days. Following yesterday’s outing of the Forte LTE handset destined for MetroPCS, images of a new device, the S5830, have popped up on the web. Being referred to as the “Galaxy S Mini” by some, the device does look like a stout version of Sammy’s European Gally S and bears an iPhone-4-esque chrome bezel. Samfirmware, the site that published the photographs, also lists some of the device’s purported specs: Android 2.2.1, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack, micro-SD card slot, micro USB slot, and 5 megapixel camera with LED flash and 720p video recording. Thanks to public comments made by the company’s CEO, we know Samsung will be showing off some new hardware at Mobile World Congress next month. Will this little guy make an appearance? We’ll find out.

    Why is Samsung so insistent on making their products look like Apple’s? Don’t they realize us Goofans (aka Apple Haters) know that Apple’s products are, perhaps, the ugliest products in the history of technology and beyond?

      No, you are wrong. Average people can’t tell different that’s why Samsung Galaxy S can sell so well because it is a look like product. Now of course they have to make iPhone 4 look like so again average people will buy it because they think they are getting “iPhone 4″.

    can samsung not come up with their own designs? first, galaxy S was a 3GS ripoff, now this new hunk o’ shit ripping off the iphone 4 design…

    It does not matter to Samsung, people will still buy this product because they would think they are getting iPhone. That’s how they beat Sony to become top TV seller now they are using the same strategy to attack Apple.

    Wowww, Samsung, you just can’t stop designing your phones after the one thats designed by a certain fruit company huh?

    Looks like an iPhone 4. I guess this is like when you go to the super market and accidentally pick up a box of Frosty Flakes instead of Frosted Flakes.

    Since when did Samsung become a Chinese knock-off company?

    I struggle to see why anyone would want to buy a phone that looks exactly like an iPhone. Are Samsung hoping to make sales off people who don’t know any better?

    Samsung loves the iPhone! First TouchWiz, now this! To bad they don’t push out updates like Apple! Oh, wait, I think iOS 5 is available for the Fascinate.
