We all know how Samsung works by now. They introduce a flagship phone at the beginning of the year, then they spend the next 12 months releasing permutations of that device in both smaller and larger sizes. Well, time for yet another Galaxy S4 lookalike. Launched in Taiwan, say hello to the Galaxy Trend Lite (GT-S7390). It’s going to cost 4,990 TWD according to ePrice, which translates to about $170. What do you get for that?

Let’s start with the most important component, the screen. It measures 4.0 inches diagonal and has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. Horrible for a bleeding edge user such as yourself, but more than enough for most folks. On the computing side, there’s a 1 GHz processor that’s paired up with 512 MB of RAM. Hurts, doesn’t it? Camera spits out 3 megapixels, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is onboard, and there’s sadly only 2.1 GB of free space on the device. Luckily, there’s a microSD card slot and 50 GB of Dropbox.

Will this phone ever leave China? Probably. Here in Finland, the Galaxy Trend (GT-S7560) is one of the most popular smartphones on the market because it’s about $165 and comes with almost everything you need. The Trend Lite costs $5 more, despite the fact that it comes with an inferior camera (3 MP vs 5 MP) and less RAM (512 MB vs 768 MB). About the only spec upgrade is a newer version of Android (4.1 vs 4.0) and a faster modem (14.4 Mbps vs 7.2 Mbps). Oh and the Trend Lite also appears to have an FM radio, whereas the Trend does not.

Not for nothing, but Nokia builds a similar phone called the Lumia 520 that they sell in America for $99 and in Europe for $150. That one handset is responsible for Windows Phone not being dead yet, so it’s a space in the market you need to watch.
