Aside from announcing the J400, Samsung has also unveiled the L170 candybar. However, unlike the clamshell device which we covered yesterday, the L170 doesn’t sport the 3G radio. Rather it relies on the standard GSM/GPRS Class 12 “speeds.” And while we like how it looks, the screen size and other specs are just not there. Then again this is an entry-level device, so I guess we shouldn’t expect much more. The important thing for some people is that it looks much more expensive than it actually is. As a matter of fact, I would call it the candybar-shaped U600 or U700.
As for the specs, there’s the 1.6″ 176×220 262K color display, 2 MP camera that can also take videos, music player, FM radio with RDS, RSS reader, mobile blogging tool, mobile printing support, and of course the microSD slot. Finally, the size — the L170 measures 102.3×45.8×10.7 mm and weighs 86 grams.
