Samsung i550 (SGH-i550)

 Samsung i550 Discontinued
18th October 2007

It doesn't look anything like a typical Samsung phone, and the SGH-i550 certainly isn't a typical Samsung phone underneath.

The Samsung i550 is a Symbian S60 OS v9.2 smartphone with HSDPA high-speed data and GPS capabilities. There's a large 2.6" 240 x 320 pixel display on the front, a 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera on the back and microSD expandable memory to complement the 150MB installed internally.

Samsung say that the SGH-i550 has an advanced web browser and one-click access to multimedia functions. There's an email client, web browser and RSS news reader and you can expect a pretty good multimedia player too. There's also an FM radio, and the i550 supports a standard 3.5mm headphone plug.

 Samsung SGH-i550 We understand that the Samsung i550's GPS comes with a mapping and navigation tool, although we don't know if the navigation is included in the price or requires a subscription.

Samsung have released two different pictures of the SGH-i550 with slight cosmetic differences. Both of them do look remarkably like Sony Ericsson designs (such as the K550), but it is at least refreshing to see something other than the usual black slider from Samsung. As far as we can tell, the darker variant is definitely a production version, we're not sure about the lighter one with the brushed metal effect.

Physically, the i550 measures 115 x 53 x 13mm and it comes with a large 1200 mAh battery. Samsung say that the i550 should be available from November 2007, but did not give any more details on pricing or carriers.
