Samsung announces WP7.5 Refresh-running I8350 Omnia M

Samsung has just announced the I8350 Omnia M smartphone running on Windows Phone 7.5 Refresh. Oddly, the handset has the same model number as the I8350 Omnia W, but comes with a lower-end specs.

The Omnia M features a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA screen, a 1GHz single-core processor, 384MB RAM, 4GB internal storage and a 5MP snapper with 720p video recording plus a VGA video-call camera. The connectivity department highlights include 3G with 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS and Bluetooth.

As you can see the Omnia M is a lower class than the Omnia W, that's why it should sell for less than the €220 that the W currently costs.

The Samsung Omnia M rollout will start from Europe and will then continue to other regions. Exact launch dates weren't mentioned, though.
