Rumours are floating around this week that the Samsung Galaxy's little brother, the Samsung Galaxy Lite, may have been delayed until next year, but the handset may include Samsung's Touchwiz custom user interface.

The Samsung Galaxy Lite i5700 features a 3.0-inch WQVGA touchscreen display, 3.2 mega-pixel camera (the i7500 has a 5 mega-pixel camera), and 1GB of memory (again, the i7500 includes 8GB of internal storage).

According to the Lite's specs, the handset will also include Samsung's custom user interface, the Touchwiz. HTC and Motorola have both developed custom UI's for the Android platform with their MOTOBLUR and Sense software on the Motorola DEXT and HTC Hero respectively.

Here's the full Samsung Galaxy Lite technical specs:

3.0″ WQVGA TFT Touchscreen
3.2 megapixel camera
Android OS 1.5
Chrome Lite browser
Google Apps and Android Market
Bluetooth 2.0
USB 2.0
WiFi
3G - HSDPA
Edge - GPRS
Touchwiz
Accelerometer
3.5mm audio jack
MP3 player, MPEG4

The Samsung Galaxy Lite will be available in both black and orange and white and green models. A launch date for the device is not yet known, although the handset is expected to launch before the end of the year.
