On paper the Tocco Ultra sounds amazing. An eight megapixel camera with an AMOLED screen? Where can I sign up? But does the reality differ from the paper specs? I was wowed by the original Tocco, so will the Ultra be able to beat it? Watch and see.

With just 80MB of onboard memory it’s a small mercy that the phone supports memory cards of up to 16GB.

Its camera is great and the screen looks amazing, but the UltraTouch is not a knockout. Its a weird mix of business looks, average apps and dodgy performance, and we just cant tell who exactly Samsung is trying to sell it to.
