Samsung continues to produce dual-SIM phones or handsets that can hold two SIM cards and operate the phone under two networks at the same time, with the South Korean firm soon to introduce the S9402 Ego.

Initial reports say that the S9402 Ego will be equipped with 2″ AMOLED display screen with a resolution of 240×320 pixels, five megapixel autofocus camera with image stabiliser and flash, 1GB built-in memory expandable through microSD of up to 16GB via microSD, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support, stereo FM with RDS.

The downside yet again would be the lack of 3G/HSDPA and WIFI. Users would be forced to content themselves with slow GPRS/EDGE connectivity.

Set to be priced at a remarkable $1,800, the S9402 Ego will reportedly be built using a new liquid metal alloy and the casing may even be three times stronger and 1.6 times more flexible than titanium.

Samsung is perhaps the first major worldwide handset manufacturer that made dual-SIM phones: the D880 and the D780.
