At CommunicAsia, an international communications and information technology conference, there were announced two new Android 2.1 phones: The Galaxy 3 (left) and 5 (right). The first one, the Galaxy 3, will pack a 3.2 inch 240x320 screen, will have a 3MP camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0 and can even play DivX/XviD movies. There's not anything sure about the official release date, but it's probably July 2010 for Europe and Asia. Nothing known for the US.

Despite being called "5" instead of "3", the Galaxy 5 will have a tinier display, 2.8 inch 240x400, becoming one of the smallest Android devices out there. It packs a 2MP camera with autofocus, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and will also be launched in July 2010 in Europe, Middle East, Africa, South America, China, Australia, South-East Asia and, weird enough, South-West Africa.

Both of the new device will run TouchWiz 3.0 (cstomised Android skin) and will include aGPS, 170MB on-storage, 3.5mm headset jack and microSD card slot. There's no doubt about the fact that Samsung Galaxy 3 packs better features than the Galaxy 5, but my questions is why did Samsung decided to give the better one a smaller number? There's not anything known about the prices, which is something usual when talking about Samsung.
