New handsets are like buses… there’s none for ages then a whole bunch of them come along at once. We’ve got the prices and details of four of the freshest new handsets which will be available soon:
Sim Free Samsung Galaxy Beam
Samsung seem to be the King of handsets at the moment thanks to the popularity of the Galaxy s2 and Galaxy nexus. They’re continuing their Galaxy range with the Galaxy beam, a handset that has a built-in projector.
The Galaxy Beam has a 1GHz processor so it’s speedy enough for day to day use, runs Android 2.3, has a 4″ capacitive touchscreen and a 5MP camera. All of this shapes up to a nice, little handset with a big difference…. the projector.
The projector in the Galaxy Beam is really cool; it can display HD images, videos and games on surfaces up to 50 inches in size – imagine playing Angry Birds on a 50 inch screen! The projector also has a super bright light so that it can be used outdoors too – watch movies in the garden or simply show off your holiday snaps for all to see. It’s a great addition to a handset.
We’ve already started to put together a range of Galaxy Beam accessories and when the handset arrives with us we’ll be selling it for £449.95.
Sim Free Panasonic Eluga
The Panasonic Eluga is a beast of a handset – it’s tough, waterproof and dustproof making it a great handset for those who work outdoors or who spend a lot of time playing sports.
Running Android 2.3, with an 8Mp camera this handset proves that strong and protective handsets can still look sleek and stylish, as the Eluga weighs only 103 grams – it’s one of the lightest smartphones available.
Featuring a 4.3″ qHD screen, the Eluga has all the features you’d expect from an Android handset, allowing you to play games from the Android Market as well as taking photos and recording videos like usual.
However the Panasonic Eluga has an IP rating of 57 meaning that it’s water and dust proof up to 1 metre for a period of 30 minutes, so you never have to worry about getting caught in the rain with the Eluga.
We’ll be selling the Panasonic Eluga for £384.95 when it’s available, which is a great price for such an action packed phone.
Sim Free LG Optimus L5
The first of two new LG handsets, the LG Optimus L5 features a 4 inch screen and boasts the latest Android software (Ice Cream Sandwich).
The stylish L style design of the L5 makes it easier to grip in your hand, so you have less of those butterfingers moments which you’re out and about. It also features a textured, leather style back adding even more grip and helping you to stand out from the crowd.
Featuring a 4 inch floating display, the L5 is easy to use and offers enhanced readability, so you can fly through your tasks at a quicker speed.
We’ll be selling the Optimus L5 for £184.95 when it’s available, an amazing price for an ice-cream sandwich handset!
Sim Free LG Optimus L7
The second LG handset and the final in our fabulous four is the LG Optimus L7.
Similar to the L5, this handset comes pre-loaded with Ice Cream Sandwich, making it the top of the range in Android features.
It also features a 4 inch touchscreen and the stylish floating display; which again helps to increase readability and usability so that you can complete tasks faster and just enjoy the visual the phone has to offer.
The L-style design of the handset helps to add grips, as does the textured leather back, resulting in less accidental drops so the handset remains looking newer for longer.
The LG Optimus L7 will cost £239.95 when it’s available, another bargain Ice Cream sandwich handset
