The Samsung Ultra Touch S8300 is yet to see daylight but that’s not stopping the company from adding another cheaper member to the Ultra Touch family, the S8000.  The S8000 will see many downgrades compared to the S8300 and so become that much more inexpensive.  Not much is known about this new entrant other than what can be seen in the pictures and according to them, the camera is toned down to 5 megapixels from the S8300’s 8mpx lens and there is no hint of a sliding form factor, although the hexagonal navpad and the big answer/disconnect buttons.

Still, the S8000 Ultra Touch is just a rumor (with some pretty convincing pictures) and we will get you more news on it as it emerges.  Read on for a couple more pictures…

If you haven’t realized it by now the phone in the video above is Samsung’s Ultra Touch S8300 which is going to arrive soon. And from the looks of it, the handset can do lots of things which could be very useful to humans too. The only thing the phone doesn’t do in the commercial above is to make phone calls. I guess little animals have more important things to do than talk to each other all day long.

Samsung Ultra-Touch S8300 is one of the most promising phones announced by Samsung this year. It has a 2.8 inch WQVGA touchscreen AMOLED display, 3G support, an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash and video recording, A-GPS, FM radio, 80MB of internal memory upgradeable to 16GB via microSD and lots of other interesting features. But you already knew that, didn’t you? What you don’t know is that the slider will be launched by Vodafone UK on March 19 and it will be called the Tocco Ultra Edition.

We’ve gotten used to see Samsung roll out phone after phone lately so we’re not surprised to see one more today. The Samsung Ultra Touch 8300 is a slider that comes with a touchscreen too. And it’s an AMOLED WQVGA screen. What else it has you ask? Well it has an 8 megapixel camera, AGPS with geotagging, 3G, integrated FM radio with Bluetooth and an up to 16GB microSD support. We’re probably going to see this Samsung slider publicly announced at the MWC, and we’re looking forward to it.
