There isn’t any single week without an announcement from Samsung about new additions to some lineup. This time the Samsung S5600 and S5230 from the touch lineup is announced on the Samsung side. Both of the phones designed with large touch screens and work on TouchWiz user interface but they are midrange handsets with modest features.

We are already informed about the leaked Samsung S5600 which was leaked about fifteen days ago but we didn’t know about the complete list of features. With its slim and compact design it targets the budget conscious users as well.

Among the features of the Samsung S5600, there are 2.8″ 16M TFT display which is of course touchscreen and 240×320 pixels of resolution. Built-in accelerometer sensor is also on board. Moreover handset has 3.2MP Snapper with LED flash.

Connectivity features of the S5600 include, HSDPA dual-band, quad-band GSM/EDGE,  USB v.2.0 and Bluetooth. The only disadvantage is the lack of Wi-Fi and small internal memory but still it can be expandable with microSD cards.

The release date for the Samsung S5600 is set for May 2009 but for Europe and the price tag is still unknown.

The Samsung S5600 and S5230 both has a special feature which would be seen for the first time which will be called Gesture Lock. Using the feature you can assign letters A to Z to any menu item to open it or unlock the phone by just drawing this letter to the screen.

When compactness is considered Samsung S5230 is even more fabolous than the S5600 with its 11.9mm thickness. Also it has a larger toucscreen of 3″ and 256K TFT 240X400 pixels are the features for it.

The release date for the Samsung S5320 is expected for April 2009 and the price is also not available for now.
