This debut comes ahead of Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where Samsung will deliver its new vision for full-touch mobiles at the forefront of style and design.

"With its refined contoured design, Samsung is our elegant full-touch hero at this year's Mobile World Congress, proving again that [these] mobile phones are at the forefront of style," said Shaun Kirk, Samsung senior mobile marketing manager. "We are committed to strengthening our portfolio of full-touch phones by introducing a variety of handsets to suit every lifestyle. S8300 leads this portfolio as our most iconic, high-end phone and will further enhance Samsung's leadership in the premium full-touch market."

As the newest flagship edition to the Ultra range (Samsung's leading style brand), the phone features a 2.8" AMOLED anti-scratch, anti-smudge full touch screen and its slim 12.7mm body, in a durable brushed metal frame, comes packed with multimedia features. Its embedded 8 mega pixel camera includes a dual power LED flash and smile shot mode. It offers GPS navigation, providing detailed maps to take users from door to door, while the music player provides entertainment along the way. Geo-tagging via the GPS chip allows you to tag photos with geographic information, making them easier to use on social networking and photo sites. The high quality video recording captures action smoothly. It's also powered with HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, offering speedy internet access.

Users will be able to flick through photos, navigate maps and surf the web easily thanks to the upgraded TouchWiz interface. Mobile widgets can be dragged and placed on the screen for one-click access to favourite applications, or the slide-out tactile 3x4 keypad offers a tangible alternative behind the screen, creating endless customization opportunities to make your phone your own.
