A few weeks ago we were already talking about the Samsung Odyssey and Samsung Marco, provisional names with which the Korean firm would be working on the next Omnia models that will join the imminent palette of devices with Windows Phone 8.
Specifically, the codes with which these teams are registered are GT-i8750 and GT-i8370, respectively, a couple of devices that will come to represent, at least in a way to inaugurate the way in which Samsung will understand the high-end and the mid-range at the premiere of the latest from Microsoft for smartphones .
Today we can expand on details about these mobile phones, whose launch date is expected to be during the fall of this year. And not only that. Now we also know, thanks to the guys at SamMobile, that these Samsung Odyssey and Samsung Marco will have prices that will range between 500 and 600 euros, although the cost that each of these devices will assume has not been specified, although we have the Hope that next August 29, during the event that the South Korean firm has scheduled in the run-up to IFA 2012, more details in this regard can be learned.
Meanwhile, some of the most interesting points of the technical profile of both teams can be displayed. The Samsung Odyssey, for example, is a mobile that seems to have some subtle similarities with the Samsung Galaxy S3, which is currently not only the benchmark Android phone, but perhaps the most powerful smartphone on the market.
In this sense, the version with Windows Phone 8 would maintain a very generous screen, no less than 4.8 inches with the HD Super AMOLED panel, with which we would see the content distributed on an electronic canvas of 1,280 x 720 pixels.
Also install the same combo of cameras, with a cast of eight megapixels for the main and another sensor 1.9 megapixels for the front. There will also be a couple of versions depending on the internal memory "" of 16 and 32 GB "", leaving out the 64 GB that we will see at the end of the year in the Samsung Galaxy S3.
What there will be is support for microSD cards. The main difference between the high-end Android and the one that Samsung will release for Windows Phone 8 is in the processor: in the latter case, there will not be a quad-core chip, but a dual-core version, with a clock frequency of 1.5 GHz.
And now let's see what the Samsung Marco will bring us at first. We turn to focus, as we have said, on a mid-range, although with some points in common with its older brother, the Samsung Odyssey. Specifically, what is most striking is that it seems that both terminals will install the same processor, with which in this Samsung Marco we would come across, again, a dual core at 1.5 GHz.
The screen, however, is smaller in this case. Specifically, we have to point out that it installs a four-inch panel with WVGA resolution on a Super AMOLED panel. Thus, we come across a type of panel that has been rescued from the first generation Samsung Galaxy S.
The memory that the Samsung Marco carries is limited to a fund of eight GB in a single version, although it takes advantage of the support provided by Windows Phone 8 to install microSD cards of up to 32 GB.
On the other hand, the camera that takes this model to develop back A maximum resolution of five megapixels, while the secondary sensor remains, as in the case of the Samsung Odyssey, at 1.9 megapixels. Unfortunately, among the filtered features there is no mention of the presence of an LED flash accompanying the cameras of both teams, although it seems unlikely that they are conspicuous by its absence.
