More information has just popped up regarding the Samsung I6410 and the I8320. The I6410 appears to have: a WQVGA (240 x 400 resolution) display, Opera 9.6 browser, 3G connectivity, an ARM11 CPU that could clock in at 800MHz since it appears to be the same CPU as the Omnia II.

The other handset is the I8320 which looks like it will have: 3G connectivity, a Cortex-A8 OMAP3430 600MHz CPU, Opera 9.6 browser, and a WVGA (800 x 480 resolution) display. I suppose that this could be a touchscreen handset. You can check out the UA profiles for the I6410 here and the I8320 here.

Last week, we heard that Samsung will be launching their own Linux-based OS. Well, one new phone has just been spotted at the Bluetooth SIG. The picture above is the Samsung I6410 and the design description specifically states that it this is a "Linux based touch pad based multi functional smart phone."

This exact same description was also spotted on the Samsung Protector I8320 that passed the Bluetooth SIG two weeks ago. Could these be the first two handsets to use Samsung's own Linux-based OS? We'll just have to wait and see. Expect their new OS to be available in early 2010.

Back in July, this handset got the WiFi Alliance certificate and now we have a bit more information. According to the detail above, this handset will be a Linux-based smartphone that will feature a touchpad. This handset appears to be a full touchscreen phone so there's no physical keypad. Judging from the picture below, Fone Arena points out that there appears to be hinges at the top of the phone, so it could be a flip phone. We don't know at the time, so we'll just have to wait until we see more of this Linux-based handset.

Cell Passion has discovered yet another handset, the Samsung Protector aka the GT i8320. It recently got a WiFi Alliance Certificate, so this handset will, of course, have WiFi. There's nothing else known about this handset, but let's hope more information about it leaks in the near future.
