While we’re waiting for the Omnia HD to become available in the Philippines, Samsung has once again announced another upcoming Omnia smartphone. The Samsung i8000 Omnia II is the real successor to the Omnia series.
GSM Arena has a preview here but see list below for a run-down of the specs of the new Omnia II.
- 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen (480×800 pixels)
- HSDPA 7.2 Mbps, HSUPA 5.76 Mbps
- 800 MHz CPU
- 8GB or 16GB storage memory
- microSD card slot (up to 32GB)
- Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional with custom TouchWiz 2.0 UI
- 5 MP autofocus camera with dual LED flash (video at 720×480 @ 30fps)
- WiFi 802.11 b/g
- Bluetooth with A2DP
- GPS receiver with A-GPS
That’s a very large screen, large storage capacity (48GB total) and a high-capacity battery (1500 mAh) in one device. One thing that could be a bit disappointing is that it will come with Windows Mobile 6.1 instead of the newer 6.5 version.

master yuga, may special discount ka ba sa mga cellphones/laptops? im planning to buy a new cellphone/laptop eh.
thank you.
nice looking phone wonder how much will it cost and is it available already in Manila
my problem with this phone is that i dont find that cube/box design near the bottom appealing.no worries with the wm6.1 since it can be upraged to 6.5 once it comes out.
if only samsung made the omnia hd with windows mobile instead of symbian, i think that would be a better phone than the omnia II
wow that is really a large screen! wonder how it will fare with iPhone 3Gs.

danda ng phone na to
id say ill still wait for the omnia hd – its far way better.=)
asian phones are taking it to next level – even surpassing european phones like nokia; with the right price these ones gonna sell like hotcakes!
too bad they didn’t retain at least the 8MP camera
or at least upgraded it to 12MP to match SE Idou.
Hay… I’m confused then.
If samsung will price the omnia i800 right
im pretty sure that this model will be a tough competition
to the 3Gs.

grabe i am also waiting for this.. kaso i really need a new one asap.. kaya baka omnia na lang bagsak ko.. tagal pa ata ng omniaHD at omnia2 eh.. hay! i believe i read it also na pwede i-upgrade ang 6.1 to 6.5 as soon as you buy it..
btw, omnia ba, pwede din upgrade win mo?
Any word on when the OmniaPro (AMOLED screen with slide out keyboard) will be available here in Manila?
Wow..it looks really great. How much would it be?

[...] Samsung i8000 Omnia II is coming and is now bigger and better. This Samsung phone has has just been announced even before the Omnia HD hasn’t formally arrived in the Philippines. [...]
5 MB is a little disadvantage sa model na to but the cube is really tempting to take home haha
still 5MP, only larger screen
Its ok even if it is still 6.1, even the old omnia i900 can be upgraded to 6.5.
The problem will be the software… will they run in Omnia 2? It has a larger screen now…
for free omnia 1 software visit:

and I prefer Omnia HD… why release omnia 2???
I email samsung philippines, sabi nila MID august daw magkakaron dito, around 30k yung 8gb while 33k yung 16gb..
malapit lapit narin! hehe
lahat namn ng WinMO phones, pwedeng i upgrade.
5MP is enough, masydo ng malaki ang 8MP kakainin lang yung memory nyo, hirap pa magsend via bluetooth. LOL
Main selling point of Omnia 2 is:
800Mhz Processor, Uber Sensitive Screen (even better than omniaHD’s), New Touchwiz 2 interface.
nice…!
kung mid-august ang release date d2
i would prefer this as my bday gift 2 myself,
