ViewSonic has decided to unveil their latest Android phone today. This one's the V430 which features a 4.3-inch WVGA display, a 5MP camera, a front-facing VGA camera, WiFi / Bluetooth support, a 1GHz CPU, 512MB of RAM, and Android 2.2 "Froyo". We don't know the price for this smartphone right now but it'll be hitting Russia in the future.

Yet another variant of the Samsung Galaxy S is initially headed to Russia in late April. This one is the Galaxy S Plus (i9001) which reportedly features a 4-inch Super AMOLED WVGA display, 8GB of internal storage, Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" with the Touchwiz UI, a 1,650mAh battery, and a new speedy 1.4GHz CPU. That's a pretty good upgrade, but the rest of the spec sheet stays the same.

This new smartphone will be hitting Russia for 23,990 rubies ($844 USD) which is actually a bit expensive. There's no word if it'll be hitting other places right now so we'll have to wait for that.

It features a 2-inch display, dual-band GSM connectivity, Bluetooth 2.0 support, a microSD card slot, a VGA camera, and an FM radio. Yeah, it's not much but it's great for a child. Apparently, this one's available right now in Russia for 2,490 rubies which is about €61 or $84 USD.

A new touchscreen Samsung handset was spotted in Russia recently and it has been revealed to be the i6330. It's likely headed to China via China Mobile first - since it clearly has the China Mobile logo at the top of the handset. Unfortunately, the details on this handset are scarce right now, but we do know that it has: a 3.2MP camera, 3G / TD-SCDMA connectivity, and a design on the back that reminds me of snake skin. The release details haven't been mentioned yet.
