The Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 is one of the new mid range media phones to be launched this year. Featuring at the mid to high end of the price spectrum, this phone features a music player, camera as well as a touch screen! All of these features are packed in a petite 12.9 mm which makes it very pocket friendly for a phone of its class. Even the weight of 103 g is much lower than you would expect for a phone that has all the features that this phone has.
The display of the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 is its best feature. This screen measures 3 inches diagonally and features the excellent TouchWhiz user interface which is very intuitive and user friendly. This TFT display allows up to 65000 colors to be displayed at a 240 x 400 pixels resolution. This makes the screen ideal to view your media on as the videos and pictures displayed on it appear clear and colorful. You can expand the internal memory of the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 up to 32 GB using the microSD memory card slot on the side of the phone. This allows you to store all your media, as even full length movies can be stored on such a large memory. The connectivity options of the Samsung Omnia Lite B7300 are really good with quad band GSM, Class 10 GPRS, class 10 EDGE and HSDPA. This allows you to download files off the internet wherever you are.
The media feature of this phone are excellent for a mid range device. The 3.15 MP camera, though not the best camera out there, is quite useable as you can capture a few shots here and there. This comes with the geotagging feature that allows you to tag an image with geographical coordinates.
Best Mobile Contracts is a good place to pay a visit to if you are thinking of getting your hands on the Samsung Omnia Lite. They offer a free comparison service which can help you save money on a phone contract or even pay as you go.
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.
