Samsung's first Android phone – more details emerge

It's no secret that Samsung is planning on releasing an Android-based smartphone or two this year, with the first reportedly hitting Europe as early as June. However new specs and pictures leaked by a Russian phone retailer have given us a little more insight into what we now know to be the S8000 (also touted as the Cubic), and they're impressive to say the least.Electricpig reports that the Android-based smartphone will come with 2GB of on board storage (expandable via microSD card), a 5 megapixel camera and thankfully, a 3.5mm jack so you can use your own headphones to listen to your music. The S8000 will also pack a 16 million colour 3.1-inch AMOLED screen that will make for better battery life, GPS with A-GPS for geotagging, FM radio, and the connectivity trio of Wi-Fi, 3G and Bluetooth that you'd probably expect.The new smartphone will also support DivX and XviD video formats as well.The site that leaked the deets did have the device up for pre-order grabs with a price tag of 470 Euros, but has since vanished quicker than Samsung could make a very strongly-worded phone call. We'll keep you updated with any news we get, but until then be sure to check out our hands-on video of the next release in the Android smartphone family, the HTC Magic.
