Published by at

According to Digital Chosunilbo, Samsung will tomorrow launch the SGH-i520 S60 smartphone. The phone runs on Symbian 9.2 and S60 3rd Edition Feature Pack 1. The phone has a QVGA screen, supports HSDPA connectivity and comes in a slim slide form factor. Pics after the break, and more information as we get it.

This is the first Samsung phone to use Symbian OS 9 and the first phone outside of Nokia to use S60 3rd Edition (in any flavour). Samsung has previously produced three publicly available S60 phones, but the i520 looks set to be among the most advanced S60 phones available. Outside of the Japanese market it is the second Symbian phone to be announced with 3.5G (HSDPA) connectivity.
