Samsung Omnia Lite B7300. Touchtastic
One of the worst things about all the touchscreen phones we’ve come across recently is that too many seem to have had their UI’s imported from earlier, none-touchscreen versions of the phones. This most often means that while you’re using your fingers or thumbs to navigate, you still aren’t convinced the phone you’re using is a full touchscreen device. Not so with Samsung, who’s nifty TouchWiz interface is now up to version 2.0 and is improving in leaps and bounds. Designed from scratch with the touchscreen user in mind, it allows all your tapping, scrolling and dragging to feel as naturally in tune with the phone’s function as possible.
With TouchWiz 2.0 at its core then, the Samsung Omnia Lite is a phone we think a fair number of people are going to get a huge amount of satisfaction from. Basically a slimmed down version of the other Omnia series phones, the lite still gives you pretty much all the smartphone functions you could need, just not at the very highest specs. And we’re all for it, because unlike its chunkier relations, the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 is a supermodel thin 13mm, a not-too-heavy-considering-the-decent-battery 100g, and shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg. And it also excels in the looks department, with a choice of two bold colour designs to set off the standard brushed metal and cool cellular pattering that’s standard.
So for all the GPS’ing, WiFi’ing and 3G’ing you’d expect from a smartphone, but in a much neater package, the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 could well be the phone for you. The only bad news is it’s not due out for some time – we’re currently hearing October but that might well change, so keep yours eyes peeled for more updates. And why not pass a little bit of that time reading this Samsung Omnia Lite review.
