Samsung SHW-M100S surfaces bound for South Korea

A Samsung handset known as the SHW-M100S is rumoured to be the first Android handset from the Seoul based manufacturer to launch in its home country…

Following the recent news that Motorola will be bringing Android to South Korea with the Motoroi, details of Samsung’s planned offering began to crop up.

This latest report surfaced on Hankyung.com, and says that the M100S will ship with a wealth of top-end specs, as well as the Android 2.1 OS. Some of the revealed features so far include a 3.7-inch AM-OLED touchscreen display, 5-megapixel snapper, Wi-Fi.

The touchscreen handset will also arrive in Korea equipped with a T-DMB Mobile TV Tuner for viewing on the go.

In related news, Samsung has stated that it hopes to triple its number of smartphone sales over the course of 2010, and with well-specced devices like the M100S on the way, it certainly seems like a good start to that plan.

The M100S is said to be launching in South Korea next month on SKT, pricing is as yet undisclosed but we have a sneaky suspicion that we won’t be seeing it on our shores anytime soon.
