Cut-priced Samsung Galaxy launched

The Samsung Galaxy S II is already on target to become the most popular Android smartphone ever, but that hasn’t stopped Samsung from releasing other handsets. The company announced the Samsung Galaxy Z last week, providing a cheaper way to get your hands on a large Android smartphone.
With prices starting at around £100 less than the Samsung Galaxy S II, the Samsung Galaxy Z still offers plenty for your money. You’ll find a large 4.2-inch LCD display, boasting a resolution of 800×480 pixels.

As with its big brother, the Samsung Galaxy Z will run Android 2.3, powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor. Other features include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and GPS, with a middle of the road 5-megapixel camera in place. There’s 8GB of storage, with support for up to 32GB via microSD card.

Although it’s not quite as glamorous as the Samsung Galaxy S, offering all the same functionality at a cheaper price it’s bound to be a popular choice for those on a tighter budget. Which would you go for – the Samsung Galaxy S II or the Samsung Galaxy Z?
