Samsung D780 strengthens dual-SIM lineup

Today, Samsung officially revealed the second dual-SIM phone of the company's portfolio, the stylish tri-band bar Samsung D780 Duos. The new phone is not a direct successor of the D880 but more of an expansion to the Duos family.

The Samsung D780 Duos main selling point is its dual-SIM functionality. The handset is capable of working with two SIM cards simultaneously with both being active in the same time.

The MP3 player and stereo FM radio completes the multimedia capabilities of the neat and stylish phone. Samsung D780 will be powered by the same 1200mAh battery used in the Samsung D880 Duos.
