Last week, we reported about the Samsung GT-S5830 Galaxy S Mini handset that resembles the iPhone 4. Now we ve the full specifications of the phone thanks to the Thai website MXphone.com. According to MXPhone, the Google Android 2.2.1 Froyo running Samsung GT-S5830 would be sold in India with brand name of Galaxy Cooper. For rest of the world excluding few South-Asian countries, this smartphone would be branded as Galaxy Ace. Samsung Galaxy Cooper/Ace GT-S5830 would be sold in Thailand for 10,900 Bahts and hence it s safe to assume its Indian price to be around Rs. 17,000 approximately.
Bearing model number GT-S5830, Galaxy Cooper/Ace will be a step higher version of Galaxy 3 GT-S5800/GT-S5801 model. Samsung Galaxy S comes in 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm dimensions while the freshly surfaced Galaxy S5830 measures 59.9x112.4x11.5mm in terms of dimensions. However there s mere 6 grams of difference in weight of both smartphones Galaxy S weighs 119g while Galaxy S5830 weighs 113g. Samsung Galaxy Cooper GT-S5830 comes with 3.5-inch HVGA (320x480) capacitive touchscreen. Physically it resembles as a toned down version of Apple iPhone 4.
Under the hood, GT-S5830 will run an 800MHz Qualcomm MSM7227-1 Turbo processor that has been used in Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 Mini and Mini Pro handsets as well. As of now there s no detail on how much RAM it will carry. With mere 150MB onboard memory, Samsung packs a 2GB microSD card and one can add up to 32GB microSD card for additional storage.
Galaxy Cooper will run Google Android 2.2.1 Froyo version with Samsung's proprietary TouchWiz 3.0 UI layered on top of it. I can safely presume that this phone would be upgradable to Android 2.3 Gingerbread but that would be confirmed only when the smartphone releases officially. For good quality imaging, Samsung has packed a 5 megapixel camera with auto-focus and LED Flash. It would be nice if it can record 720p HD videos as well but that detail hasn t been mentioned in its specifications.
Supporting quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE networks, this phone will offer up to 7.2Mbps speed for HSDPA data connections. Apart from that, GT-S5830 has Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) and Bluetooth 2.1 support too. Yes, the phone does offer FM Radio (RDS) and that will please loads of radio fanatic Indians.
