Samsung S7220 Ultra b preview: First look

With superscript being all the rage for Sammy these days, here comes another preview of an Ultra nice handset. What makes the Samsung S7220 Ultra b special is not only the clean but inspired Bar styling. It's the features it packs in, like the 2.2" AMOLED display at QVGA resolution and the built-in 5-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash.

The Samsung S7220 Ultra b looks a lot like the S8300 UltraTOUCH - which we also previewed - and could be considered as the candybar variety of the latter (although not as impressively equipped). The relationship to the other devices in the series is very clear - the plastic frame with brushed metal finish around the screen is common to them all.
