Samsung Spica to Come With DNSe2.0 and DivX

One of the biggest issues with the i7500 Galaxy, Samsung’s first attempt with the Android OS was that it lacked video codec support for DivX and XviD, something that the company has gotten us used to with other handsets. However, reports are in that the newer model, the Spica, that was only recently made official, will thankfully make watching videos a whole lot simpler as it’s going to be loaded with the appropriate codecs to accommodate most common video formats.

It will also feature Samsung’s DNSe 2.0 sound engine to enhance the Android’s already pretty good audio player’s capabilities. Here’s a quick look at the other features the handset will be equipped with -

  • a 3.2-inch capacitive touchscreen with a 320 x 480 pixel resolution
  • 3G with HSDPA, EDGE/GPRS
  • Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB
  • GPS with A-GPS support, Geotagging
  • 3 megapixel camera
  • microSD card support (up to 32GB)
  • 3.5mm earphone socket
  • 800MHz CPU
So it won’t pack too much of internal memory like its predecessor but I’m more than willing to see that go in lieu of a better audio player and video support. The reduction in the camera’s pixel rate would also mean a reduction in price which could be just another good reason to hold out for this handset.
