Samsung has announced its successor to the budget Tocco Lite – the monikerly-inspired Tocco Lite 2.
The Tocco Lite 2 will be available in the UK from early March and looks to build on the success of the original which managed to shift 30 million units.
It will land in the low-end market directly rivalling the Orange San Francisco 2, HTC Wildfire S and Samsung's own Android-toting Galaxy Y, but there is no word on pricing yet.
Samsung is aiming the handset at the same market as their Galaxy Y, young users wanting to keep up to date with friends – which is helped by the "enhanced social networking services" found on the Tocco Lite 2.
Simple Specs
As you might expect from a budget phone, the specs aren't exactly inspiring. The Tocco Lite 2 comes with a 3-inch QVGA (320x240) TFT screen, 3.2MP camera, 20MB of internal memory (capable of 16GB with microSD), Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n.
It measures 50 x 102 x 11.5mm and weights 95g which includes a 1,000mAh battery – which would drop pretty much instantly on a smartphone but should suit the featurephone user.
As the Tocco Lite 2 runs Samsung's own operating system there is no Android market, so don't expect to be able to download a host of apps – you'll want the Galaxy Y for that.
Samsung looks to be playing on the success of the original Tocco Lite with this latest incarnation, but with the boom in Android since the first we're unsure if the Lite 2 will reach the same heights.
