According to Samsung, the Tocco Lite uses online widgets to ensure users can keep their Facebook status up-to-date, log on to their MySpace page or browse YouTube for the latest videos, all from a simple one-touch interface on the main menu screen.

The specification of the Tocco Lite includes a 3-inch WQVGA touchscreen, a 3 megapixel camera with smile- and face-detection, plus an FM radio.

The Tocco Lite joins the Tocco family of mobiles, some of which have impressed in tests at the Which? labs. To see how the latest Tocco handsets fared, check out the Samsung Tocco F480 review and the Samsung Tocco Ultra Edition review.
