Technology.am (Apr. 27, 2009) —Samsung Electronics has launched its first Google Android-based handset, I7500 phone.



The I7500 will be available in major European countries starting from June, the company said.

The I7500 phone is 11.9 mm thick, which sports a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera and 8GB of internal memory.

The mobile phone joins two Android handsets already on the market, the T-Mobile G1 and the HTC Magic.

The I7500 supports unspecified HSDPA 3G bandwidth, GSM/GPRS/Edge connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11b/g Wi-Fi.

Android is a smartphone operating system developed by Google, which is meant to make Web browsing on YouTube and Google Maps.
