Samsung M7600 Leak
Samsung may add at least one more high-end phone to its Mobile World Congress plans if a photo leak published by DailyMobile proves reliable. The M7600 should be the first full touchscreen phone from Samsung to have Bang & Olufsen audio and will have one of the Danish company's amps built-in to boost sound quality. It will also be pitched to younger owners with a unique DJ scratching mode to mix and add effects to music that can be saved for later.
Its remaining feature set will be equally uncommon with a high-color AMOLED screen, a 3-megapixel camera, GPS and HSPA-based 3G. Though the operating system isn't named in the slip, the phone's naming scheme and its main interface point to the touch-friendly Symbian S60 5th Edition.
There is no formal sign of when the phone would be made available, but the source for the leak hints at a probable release in May. [via Engadget]
