Samsung announces L310 and L320 for the ladies

Samsung unveiled two new sleek-looking handsets today. Aimed at the fashion-conscious ladies they are sure to excel with looks rather than functionality.

Samsung L310 is a black-and-gold clamshell. It has a rather uncommon S-shaped hinge that should be able to make it stand out in a crowd. The tri-band phone comes in the compact dimensions of 93.4 x 44 x 17.9 mm and has a number of Female applications - Shopping list, Fragrance type and Calories consumption. The phone sports a 1.8" TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. It has 20MB of internal memory that can be expanded through the built-in microSD card slot.

The Samsung L310 also provides some multimedia features - including a 2 megapixel camera, MP3 player and Bluetooth connectivity. USB v2.0 is also included.

Samsung L310 will be available in selected markets from February at a price of around 240 Euro before taxes or subsides.

The second announced phone is Samsung L320, which offers rounded clamshell design and is supposed to come as a successor of the rather popular Samsung E570. It comes with a 1.9" TFT LCD main display with a 176 x 220 resolution and an external OLED 176 x 16 pixel one. The 2 megapixel camera should take care of the user's photography needs, while USB v1.1 and Bluetooth v2.0 are to assure connectivity. The female applications of L310 are also present here.

The amount of built-in memory is 17MB but thanks to the microSD card slot it can be easily expanded. Both L310 and L320 rely on GPRS and EDGE for network data transfers.

The tri-band Samsung L320 will hit the shelves in February for about 220 Euro before taxes or subsides.
