Samsung’s dual-SIM smartphone, Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo is now available through online retailer Infibeam for Rs. 7,130.

Samsung
Galaxy Pocket Neo comes with a 3-inch touchscreen TFT LCD display. The
device is powered by an 850MHz processor alongside 512MB of RAM. There
is 4GB of internal storage available on the smartphone that is
expandable up to 32GB through a microSD card. Other specifications for
the smartphone include a 2-megapixel rear camera, 1200mAh battery,
Bluetooth 4.0, USB 2.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and A-GPS. It runs on the Android Jelly Bean OS and Samsung’s TouchWiz UI. On the sensor
front, the phone sports an accelerometer and a digital compass.

The
3-inch device was officially announced with the Samsung Galaxy Star in
April. However, the Galaxy Star was launched ahead of the Galaxy Pocket
Neo earlier in May. The device was tagged as the cheapest Galaxy
smartphone in the market priced at Rs. 5,240. Looking at the listing of
Pocket Neo, it seems that the device though still in the budget segment
will surely be priced more than the Galaxy Star. The major difference
between the two happens to be the presence of 3G on the Samsung Galaxy
Pocket Neo vis-a-vis
only 2G (EDGE) connectivity on the Samsung Galaxy Star. Apart from that,
where the device lags behind would be its 850MHz processor, which is
less powerful when compared to Galaxy Star’s 1GHz processor. The Samsung
Galaxy Pocket Neo might be perhaps a prospective device for users
looking for a dual-SIM budget Galaxy with 3G support.
