3 UK may have just leaked some juicy information regarding some upcoming smartphones. Apparently, Samsung is prepping a Galaxy S2 Mini for the future and the launch is reportedly set for April on the carrier. Specs are going to include a 3.7-inch WVGA touchscreen display, a 5MP AF camera with an LED flash, a VGA front-facing camera, HSDPA connectivity, WiFi n / Bluetooth support, GPS, a 1.4GHz CPU, WiFi hotspot capabilities, and Android "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI. This is classified as a high-end handset and I'm actually looking to pick this one up because I really like 3.7-inch displays. Don't worry, there's more!

Moving along, it looks like the Symbian^3 based Nokia X7 - that won't be hitting AT&T anymore - will be headed to 3 UK this June, along with the LG Optimus 3D. In May you can expect the 7-inch HTC Flyer tablet and in June you'll be able to pick up a WiFi-only BlackBerry Playbook. Interesting stuff, I'm looking forward to them all!

Samsung has just unveiled a new handset today in Singapore. What you see above is a candybar QWERTY handset which is going to be launching as the Samsung Galaxy Pro. It's going to be running Android 2.2 with, of course, the Touchwiz UI which looks like it'll work. Specs for this one include a 2.8-inch touchscreen display, a 3MP camera, WiFi support, an 800MHz CPU, and Social Hub Premium. The first carrier to announce that they're launching this handset is 3 UK. Launch and price details are still unknown.

3 UK tweeted it and it looks like it has just hit their Coming Soon page as well. The Nokia E7 running on Symbian^3 will be hitting the carrier next month - April. Price is unknown right now but there should be various contract options so you should be able to get it for free. This handset is actually quite good on the spec sheet, sporting: a 4-inch touchscreen display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, 16GB of internal storage, a 680MHz CPU, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a front-facing camera, and an 8MP camera with a dual-LED flash and 720p HD video recording.

3 UK has just announced that they'll be releasing the Nokia E7 in January 2011. Unfortunately, the price hasn't been mentioned yet so we'll have to wait for those details to trickle out. The E7 is definitely one of the best phones that Nokia has ever made with a 4-inch Clear Black AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display, an 8MP camera with 720p HD video recording, and the Symbian^3 OS. Other specs include a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 3.5mm headphone jack, 16GB of internal storage, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g/n / Bluetooth 3.0 support, a 680MHz CPU, aGPS, and an HDMI output. It'll be one of the best phones to hit the market, and could be Nokia's saviour device before Symbian^4 comes into play.
