Microsoft is unloading a boatload of information about Windows Phone 7 at MIX 2010 including details on the new Windows Phone Marketplace, and fortunately, they’ve also treated us to a preview of what could be Samsung’s first Windows Phone 7 device.

They also showed off the same Windows Phone 7 LG QWERTY slider we talked about last month. Unfortunately, they didn’t discuss anything further about these phones apart from their form factor. However, given that Microsoft is laying down some strict hardware requirements, it’s safe to say that both devices will have at least a 5-megapixel camera and flash, 256MB RAM, 8GB flash memory, and ARMv7 Cortex/Scorpion processor on-board. Standard features for all Windows Phone 7 devices include GPU with DirectX9 support, A-GPS, compass, accelerometer, light and proximity sensor. These two, along with the rest of the first batch phones, will boast of an 800×480 resolution capacitive touchscreen display as 480×320 displays will only be supported later on.

Hopefully, we’ll get the model names of these two Windows Phone 7 devices sometime later this week or in the coming months.
