Samsung launches successor to the bestselling Tocco series
7th February 2012, London, UK - Samsung Electronics today announces its latest touch phone, the Samsung Tocco Lite 2 - the successor to the 30-million selling Samsung Tocco Lite phone - will be available in the UK in early March.
The Tocco Lite 2 features enhanced social networking services and robust multimedia capabilities within a stylish and sleek design, making it the perfect choice for anyone that likes to be connected at all times and needs a device to play, store and share the latest multimedia content, such as photos, videos and games.
Complete with Samsung's communication service ChatON, owners of the device can catch up with friends and family anytime and anywhere. Whether through personalised multimedia messages, group chat, Facebook, Twitter or using Instant Messaging services such as MSN, Yahoo! and Google Talk. A built-in music player means they can access and listen to their favourite music whilst on the go, and enjoy a quality and immersive experience when browsing the web thanks to a 3" QVGA screen.
Simon Stanford, UK & IRE Telecommunications & Networks Division commented: "Our range of Tocco devices have been among our best selling over the past few years. Thanks to the incredible response we've had to the original Tocco Lite and Tocco Icon handsets, we're excited to now be offering our customers improved social networking and enhanced multimedia capabilities with the Tocco Lite 2. Our aim with this new handset is to build on the features we know our customers enjoy and find useful by providing greater synergy between their mobile handset and their social networks, and in doing so, giving them more ways to stay in touch with their friends and loved ones when they're on the move."
The Tocco Lite 2 will be available across a range of the UK's major networks and retailers from early March 2012.
