Samsung Galaxy Fame and Galaxy Young launched with UK in sight

Samsung Galaxy Fame and Galaxy Young launched with UK in sight

Fame and Young? Sound more like accountants than hot smartphones.

The Samsung Galaxy Fame and Samsung Galaxy Young have been announced in South Korea and the budget devices will be heading to the UK.

Update: Three has confirmed it will be offering the Samsung Galaxy Fame, although the network was unable to give us a release date or price with "coming soon" the only thing we have to go off.

It was initially thought that the Galaxy Fame would be unveiled at MWC 2013 in Barcelona, but Samsung clearly couldn't wait until then.

Design wise, both handsets borrow heavily from the Samsung Galaxy S3, as do all the new Galaxy handsets - probably in an attempt to get away from any potential law suits with Apple.

The Galaxy Fame sports slightly better features than the Young with a 3.5-inch 480 x 320 display, 1GHz processor, 512MB of RAM, 4GB internal storage, 5MP camera, VGA front snapper, NFC, 1,300mAh battery and Android Jelly Bean (version 4.1).

Jelly Bean for all

Probably coming in slightly cheaper than the Frame, the Samsung Galaxy Young has a smaller 3.27-inch display, the same 1GHz processor and Jelly Bean OS - but surprisingly more RAM at 768MB.

NFC doesn't feature on the handset and you only get a 3MP camera round the back, while the Bluetooth technology is version 3.0 instead of the Galaxy Frame's 4.0 offering.

TechRadar spoke to Samsung regarding pricing and availability of the Galaxy Fame and Galaxy Young, with the manufacturer confirming that "availability for the UK will be week commencing March 25."

Both handsets will likely be knocking around MWC 2013 at the end of February, and we'll be there to get hands on with both of them, so stay tuned for our early findings.
