Korea
Before this fancy-sounding LU2300 that we’ve been hearing about rolls in, LG’s got another Android-powered phone in mind for its domestic market — but we would’ve never guessed it’d be a rehash of a tired model that’s been sold internationally for several months now. Indeed, the KH5200 “Andro-1″ is little more than a remix of the GW620 QWERTY slider — a phone known as Eve to its Canadian buyers — with a 3-inch HVGA display and 5 megapixel cam on board. It’s said the phone could launch on KT as soon as next week for around 600,000 won ($531), but what might make it more palatable is chatter that they’ll get the sucker down to a nice, round 0 won on plans of 45,000 won or higher. If true, that would make the Andro-1 KT’s first free-on-contract smartphone, ushering in an exciting new era of indentured servitude for Korea’s wireless subscribers. Welcome to the club, guys!

So you thought awesome gear never made the transition from Korea to the USA, huh? Not so in the case of the infamous sausage stylus we spotted a month ago. That cold weather peripheral — allowing its ingenious users to operate a capacitive touchscreen with gloves on — has made the big leap over to the Americas and can be yours for the low (seriously low) price of $0.99. Naturally, it’s a sausage, so it will be compatible with not just iPhones but anything receptive to capacitive touch, although you should be cognizant of the “not for consumption” label — compatibility with human stomachs is unlikely.

Eternal archrivals-to-the-death Samsung and LG have a tendency to match one another tit for tat in virtually every consumer electronic category, but for whatever reason, LG’s been far less interested in going for broke with Android over the past year — though a preoccupation with Windows Phone 7 Series is a solid guess at this point. Things may be changing, though, now that we’ve got news out of Telecoms Korea that they’re prepping a more brutal assault than the weakling GW620 could ever provide in the form of a so-called LU2300 for the domestic market (we’re assuming the actual thing will be a little more… well, “designed” than the snow-white mockup above). The site is playing up LG’s announcement that the phone will bundle a bunch of popular apps in ROM (awesome?) but the real news is the impressive spec sheet, which is said to include a Nexus One -like 1GHz Snapdragon and WVGA AMOLED display paired with Android 2.1 and a 5 megapixel cam capable of 720p video. It certainly sounds like it’s ready to give Samsung’s M100S a run for its money, but we’ll need to wait until its second quarter release to know for sure.

Samsung’s Corby line has a reputation as a fun, simple, cheap, colorful range of handsets, and that trend looks to continue now that the Corby Folder has gone official — in the domestic South Korean market, anyway. The first Corby with a hinge keeps it relatively simple (by Korean standards) with a 2.6-inch QVGA display, 3G data (HSPA or EV-DO Rev. A depending on the carrier), Bluetooth, microSD expansion, a 3 megapixel camera, and naturally, DMB mobile TV reception. It looks like it’s available now on SKT, LGT, and KT in your choice of Candy Pink, Lime Green, and Blue Black (which is an oxymoron, as far as we know) — no word, though, on when we might see versions in other markets.

Another day, another Snapdragon handset. It’s kind of fun to consider a phone with a thousand megahertz processor common these days, isn’t it? We already knew LG’s Arena Max would have built-in WiFi , but now we can put a face to the name as well as a few other select specs. Wireless connectivity will be augmented with Bluetooth and GPS modules, which will be cozying up to a 5 megapixel camera unit at the back and a 3.5-inch touchscreen up front. The Cyon branding tells us Korea will be the inevitable first destination, though the rest of the world is expected to follow swiftly. More will surely be known at MWC in a week’s time. A couple more images await after the break, including a side-by-side with the original Arena.

An exhaustive video preview over eleven minutes long of Samsung’s just-announced M100S Android set for Korea has turned up on YouTube — and at a glance, it looks like Seoul residents pining after a Nexus One should be redirecting at least some of their lust over to this thing. It’s snappy (we’re particularly heartened by how little time it takes to get into the camera app), it appears to have some gorgeous custom widgets, and let’s be real, it’s hard to argue with any phone sporting an antenna that long — especially when said antenna carries mobile TV along with it. Buyers have another month or so to wait before picking this up, so savor these videos and make ‘em last. [Thanks, Sedat T.] Continue reading Samsung M100S flaunted on video, looking snappy Samsung M100S flaunted on video, looking snappy originally appeared on Engadget Mobile on Fri, 05 Feb 2010 16:40:00 EST.

You might’ve thought that one of the local players would’ve been the first to announce Android gear for South Korea, but that honor ended up going to Motorola with its MOTOROI — so who’s next up to bat? That’d be Samsung, which has unveiled its biggest, baddest Android device to date in the SHW-M100S which features a 3.7-inch WVGA AMOLED display (same as the Nexus One ), 5 megapixel cam, 802.11n (yes, n!) WiFi, Android 2.1, and — of course — a T-DMB mobile TV tuner. It’s launching next month on SKT, meaning Seoul could end up being one of the world’s most interesting Google-powered battlegrounds in 2010.
