First of all, we’d like to point out that the manufacturer haven’t announced the retail price for the new devices but mentioned their market segment and shipping date: S5230 will be available in France in April and then in other European countries; S5600 will hit the European market a bit later, in May.
Samsung S5600 is a relatively small and stylish mobile phone with minimalist yet attractive design. The TouchWiz user interface is worth being mentioned together with the Gesture Lock function that allows unlocking the phone and going to menus by drawing an English letter on the display with your finger. The menu-letter link is user-defined. Samsung S5600 has a 3-megapixel camera with Smile the Shot function, supports H.263, MPEG4, WMV file formats, and microSD memory cards up to 8 GB. The Samsung S5600 mobile phone has 80 MB of onboard memory.

Note that the manufacturer hasn’t given full specifications in the press release. Take this into account when looking through specs for these phones on our website.
