Samsung announces a Galaxy for your Pocket
5in screens aren't for everyone – so Sammy's made a 2.8in smartphone, appropriately dubbed the Galaxy Pocket.

Not all of us are giants with spade-like hands – a fact that Samsung has duly noted. Step up, the Galaxy Pocket – a 2.8in screened smartphone running Android 2.3 Gingerbread that shouldn't make too much of a dent in either your bank account or, well… your pocket.

This budget smartphone has lower end specs with a 832MHz processor, 2MP rear camera and 3GB of memory (expandable up to 32GB via microSD). But there's still a lot to like – Sammy's TouchWiz UI on top of Android 2.3 and a Social Hub to bring together ChatON messaging and your social networks. Plus at just 97g, it won't trouble your guns overmuch.

According to Samsung, the Galaxy Pocket will be available later in the year, at the moment, with no pricing for now. But chances are, the Galaxy Pocket will come in at a pretty good-looking price – which should make this mini phone look mighty tempting to fans of tiny gadgets.
