The Tocco goes Ultra – its official.

Samsung finally came out with an official announcement detailing the new S8300 phone. Packed with touchscreen technology the new handset pulls together two legends of the Samsung stable – the Tocco and the Samsung Soul.

Mobiles.co.uk have blogged about this great new phone earlier on in the week and it is certainly looking like a stunning new handset.

Want to check out the specification?

Well the Tocco Ultra features a 2.8 inch full touchscreen display, an accelerometer (similar to the Apple iPhone) which auto rotates the screen from portrait to landscape and a standy sensor that switches the screen off in order to save battery life. It has an 8 Megapixel camera to capture all your favourite pictures and even has autofocus, face and smile detection. If it’s video you are after – well that is suported too, with 30 fps and a wealth of video editing options. HSDPA connectivity offering up to 7.2 Mbps for lightening quick browsing and downloads, a GPS Satnav receiver, Bluetooth and an MP3 player make this a very special mobile indeed.

The Tocco Ultra Edition really goes to town in the styling stakes – at just 12.8mm thick this is an incredibly slim phone. Although the mobile industry appears to be moving towards a full QWERTY keyboard, Samsung have taken the decision to stick with the traditional alpha-numeric keypad, so we will have to wait and see whether this affects its popularity in the future.

The Samsung Tocco Ulta Edition is set to launch in March, so if you are looking for a feature packed phone that WILL fit in your pocket then this could be the one for you.

Don’t forget that if you do buy one Insure and Smile offer full insurance for Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition.
