Samsung have been busy lately, launching a raft of new handsets at MWC.

They all feature a full touchscreen interface, and the Ultra Touch (Tocco Ultra edition to us) pictured on the left also features a proper keypad, for those times when you just want to make a phone call!Samsung Blue Earth

In the middle of the photo is the Omnia HD which features the worlds first 720p video decoding and encoding on a mobile phone and a 3.7” AMOLED screen with the odd resolution of 360×640. It does produce very sharp, vivid images though. You also get GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth, a compass (nice augment to the GPS for navigational use) and an 8MP camera with flash.

Lastly we come to the “Beat” music phones. There are two models in this range, the Beat DJ and Beat Disc. The DJ edition includes software on board to let you scratch and remix any of your loaded tunes while the Disc edition cuts back on the toys but gives you a slide out keypad.

Both the Beat phones have audio technology from Bang and Olufsen and come with the Shazam music recognition application embedded.

Lastly, Samsung are showing us the way forward on the eco front with the “Blue Earth” mobile pictured right. They’re being cagy with the full specs but we do know it has a full touchscreen, is solar powered, is made from recycled plastics and includes a built in pedometer that tells you how much CO2 you’ve saved by walking instead of driving!

You can get the full specs on all the new Samsung releases on the MWC website they set up for the show.
