Samsung has launched the second Android powered mobile phone, the i5700 Galaxy Spica.

The Galaxy i7500 was released earlier this year. It was the first phone to run on the Android operating system that wasn’t manufactured by HTC.

After the launch of i7500, many other mobile phone companies such as T-Mobile, Sony Ericsson, LG and Motorola have announced to employ Android mobile operating system.

Samsung Galaxy Spica

Also known as the Galaxy Lite, the Samsung Galaxy Spica is a little bigger and heavier than i7500. The touch screen is of the same size, i.e. 3.2 inch, having the same 320 x 480 pixel resolution, but the memory has been cut down from 8GB to 180MB. However, it can be expanded with microSD memory cards.

The differentiating factor is its support of DivX files. DivX is one of the more common formats of downloaded video files.

Powerful Android Mobile Phone

Having 800MHz processor, it is the most powerful Android mobile phone, according to Samsung. It is 3G supported, having WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS connectivity, but without FM radio.

The camera has the resolution of 3.2Mega pixel. The battery of the Spica is said to provide an impressive 11.5 hours of talktime.
