Samsung 似乎真的有以不同尺寸的 Android 智能手機稱霸的意圖，繼推出 5.3 吋的 Galaxy Note 後，又再向「細」稱霸，推出屏幕只有 2.8 吋的 Galaxy Pocket，從名稱已可知道此機目標是主打喜歡手機體積細，可以輕鬆放於口袋中的用家，而且從它只採用 800MHz 處理器、200 萬像素鏡頭、3GB 內存空間、採用 Android 2.3 作業系統及 TouchWiz 介面看來，明顯主打入門級市場，相信此機真正推出時，售價一定十分便宜。
不知道此機會否在香港推出？因為從 Samsung 新聞稿看到，此機將會在今年稍後在英國推出，筆者希望它有機會在港推出吧，這樣對於從未接觸過 Android 手機，但又想試一試，不過又不想花費太多的準用家來說，應是頗為吸引的。以下為 Samsung 發佈的新聞稿原文：
