Tocco Lite: take two Samsung has announced its successor to the budget Tocco Lite – the monikerly-inspired Tocco Lite 2.
The Tocco Lite 2 will be available in the UK from early March and looks to build on the success of the original which managed to shift 30 million units.
It will land in the low-end market directly rivalling the Orange San Francisco 2, HTC Wildfire S and Samsung's own Android-toting Galaxy Y, but there is no word on pricing yet.
Samsung is aiming the handset at the same market as their Galaxy Y, young users wanting to keep up to date with friends – which is helped by the "enhanced social networking services" found on the Tocco Lite 2.
Simple SpecsAs you might expect from a budget phone, the specs aren't exactly inspiring. The Tocco Lite 2 comes with a 3-inch QVGA (320x240) TFT screen, 3.2MP camera, 20MB of internal memory (capable of 16GB with microSD), Bluetooth 3.0 and Wi-Fi b/g/n.
It measures 50 x 102 x 11.5mm and weights 95g which includes a 1,000mAh battery – which would drop pretty much instantly on a smartphone but should suit the featurephone user.
As the Tocco Lite 2 runs Samsung's own operating system there is no Android market, so don't expect to be able to download a host of apps – you'll want the Galaxy Y for that.
Samsung looks to be playing on the success of the original Tocco Lite with this latest incarnation, but with the boom in Android since the first we're unsure if the Lite 2 will reach the same heights.

As a feature phone, the Toco Lite 2 (Start III) does indeed have worse specs than Galaxy Y. But as a simple phone, the Icon or Lite I doesn't.
By the way, n what has Bada got to do with the price of fish? Lites use own internal' unamed OS, like Nokia S40 and its kind. I'll say again - they ain't smartphones with such things as downloadable apps (though u do get games so even that absolute rule sort of goes).
Alert a moderatoralcam4. A £10 phone that isn't as good. Why would I do that if I am not an idiot. Many MANY still people want a phone to be a phone. Many others want a phone to be 'smart'. When smart phones last as long, cost as little as, are small & usable (possibly impossible point!) and have cheap data tariffs then the feature phone will die, but that isn't this year, or next.
Alert a moderatorbradavon3. @ Alcam: By that point you may as well get a £10 dumb phone then.
Alert a moderatorbradavon2. Why would you possibly want this over the Galaxy Y?
It looks like HTC's "HTC Smart" in that it runs the companies own OS but made to look like their older Android brothers. I suspect Bada is as rubbish as Qualcomm's Brew, that was used on the HTC Smart.
Alert a moderatoralcam1. Successor to Toco Lite (Star I) was the Tocco Icon (Start II) last year (http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_s5260_star_ii-3718.php). This beasty is a re-jigged Start III which has LOWER res screen than Icon predecessor! Unless u want a 32G SD card, stick with Icon.
The thing that made these sell is if u want just a straight phone with a nice (touchscreen) interface, small pocket bulge, looks good, long standby battery life and forget its pretensions at being a smart phone with its built in data using apps, then the original or Icon was perfect as a payasugo phone with no data in your plan.
