Samsung Armani Mobile Phone Review – The Catwalk Quality Mobile Phone

If some phones can be noted for their focus on functionality, the Samsung Armani can be noted for its focus on style. As the name suggests, it is a designer mobile phone that has been created in conjunction with the Italian fashion designer to follow in the footsteps of the LG Prada from 2007. It really does ooze with style and that is not just down to the name. It is a compact TFT touchscreen phone and is absolutely stunning.

Aesthetically, the Samsung Armani is tiny at just 85g with dimensions of 88 x 55 x 10.5mm so it will easily fit into any pocket and is a joy to handle. With no buttons to worry about, people with thicker fingers need not worry about being able to use the phone properly so the size actually compliments the functionality of the mobile. If you do not consider the size to be amazing though you will certainly consider its overall appearance jaw dropping. It comes in a leather pouch, which is gorgeous as well as being functional by stopping the phone getting scratched. It is finished with stainless steel and aluminium, which gives it a modern but classy appearance, with no buttons to distract from its clean lines and sleek appearance.

The screen of the Samsung Armani is a TFT 2.6 inch effort that displays 240x320 pixels and 262,000 colours, meaning that the images may not be as clear as on other phones but they are of a high quality nevertheless. It also compliments the main features, namely a 3MP camera that comes with a 4x digital zoom, flash and video recorder. The images taken do not rival those of dedicated camera phones, probably as a result of the power of the camera, but it is good enough for those wanting a handset that does it all.

There are other lovely touches as well, with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a music player that is compatible with most formats, 60MB of inbuilt memory that can be boosted to 2GB, and a decent Internet browser.

The Samsung Armani does have a few niggles though. The first is half the phone’s fault and half the user’s fault, as strange as that may sound. As the Samsung Armani is a touchscreen, many users will expect it to work just as well as the iPhone or other similar touchscreen models but sadly it does not. If you manage your expectations and wait to see how it works then you will not be disappointed, but then when the handset looks as attractive as it does it is difficult to do that. The interface also takes a little getting used to but a little patience will go a long way with the Samsung Armani mobile phone. Just taking a couple of hours to explore the handset will probably solve this small issue.

Overall, the Samsung Armani is more style than substance but it does tick most boxes in the second category as well. As such, it is a decent phone that can do most things that will be asked of it by the average user so if you want a stylish phone that is relatively easy to use then the Samsung Armani is for you. This mobilephone is pretty expensive in exchange for its stylish design. Consider getting a cheap mobile phone deals with the Samsung Armani to ease up your budget.
