Just like Unwired View we’re unsure if Samsung unveiled I5700 Galaxy Spica but yes, they did announce it in Russia. Launching in November in Russia, the Galaxy Spica will become the second Android device from Samsung to be available in different regions (in the coming months). Galaxy Spica features a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, 800MHz CPU, 128MB RAM, 3.2MP camera, GPS, compass, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), variety of multimedia codec support and 1500mAh battery.

The phone will retail for 14,000 Rubles ($483).

Galaxy Lite I5700 seems to be the worst kept secret for Samsung. Yet more images and info have made it to the interwebs, courtesy a Dutch site. Unlike what we heard the last time, the site claims that I5700 will be announced this month while sales will start from next month. It will be priced at around 350 Euros, competing with HTC’s affordable Android phone, Tattoo.

As for the specs, they still remain the same but the incorporation of TouchWiz UI is unlikely. Galaxy Lite aka Galaxy Spica features a 3-inch touchscreen display, Android 1.5 OS, HSDPA, GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 3.2MP camera and microSD card slot.

This year hasn’t been so good for Samsung as far as keeping products under wraps is concerned. Unfortunately for them, here’s another one showing couple of more Android devices, dubbed as BigFoot and Spica. While Spica looks to be the newest entrant in the leakomania, we have seen BigFoot before in the leaked T-Mobile roadmap.

Both the phones are expected to arrive in Q3 2009 and will have Android OS’ latest 2.0 update also known as Donut. Despite the radical design differences, BigFoot and Spica have identical specs.

Samsung is logically placing Spica as a mass market Android device and will differentiate from I7500 by its TouchWiz user interface. I7500 looks similar to Spica but has the stock Android UI.
