Samsung’s ‘Halo’ Packs Android 2.1, 3.7-inch Super AMOLED, and Pico Projector

Samsung just pulled the wrapper off of their new i8520 'Halo' handset, which appears to be a true stunner.  It's packed with all the things we love about the next generation Android handsets, including a 3.7-inch "Super" AMOLED screen, Android 2.1, and 8 mega-pixel camera.  In a first for Android phones, the Halo features a Texas Instruments pico projector which displays images anywhere from 5 to 50 inches in size.

Other notable specs include:

  • HSDPA 7.2Mbps/HSUPA 5.76Mbps UMTS (900/1900/2100), EDGE / GPRS (850/900/1800/1900)
  • 3.7” WVGA Super AMOLED
  • 8MP AF w/ Flash (Front : VGA)
  • Bluetooth v2.1 / USB 2.0 High Speed
  • Internal memory: at least 2GB (4Gb ROM / 3Gb RAM + 16GB MoviNAND) External memory: MicroSD (up to 32GB)
  • 1800 mAh Battery

Although the processor speed isn't listed, we're expecting something in the ballpark of 800MHz-1GHz.  This would line up with their current staple of Android phones and fit nicely with the next generation. Look for pricing and carrier announcements in the near future.

    Are you sure this is an Android device? The Spica on that page lists Android as the OS, but none of the other devices do.
