Samsung today unveiled two new smartphones -- the Samsung Galaxy Young and Galaxy Fame. Both handsets are driven by a 1GHz as-yet unnamed processor, and run on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The phones are aimed at the entry-level consumer, and Samsung calls them "ideal for the younger, stylish generation."
The Galaxy Young sports a 3.27-inch HVGA resolution screen, with a 3MP camera on the back of the camera. It has 768MB of RAM, with 4GB of storage, expandable with a microSD card. A 1,300 mAh Li-ion powers the phone. Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n provide input and output for the phone.
