Samsung's Armani phone details have leaked out

Sep 18, 2007 17:33

Armani phone (SGH-P520) from Samsung Mobile has shown up during the Dutch's mobile phone distribution event. This is Samsung's first mobile phone developed with an international fashion leading brand.

I assume this mobile phone was developed without plans to join Armani in the first place. However, this changed because LG came out with the Prada Phone and received a great deal of attention and feedback from consumers all over the world, becoming one of the best mobile phones in 2006. This situation has made Samsung find a way to compete against LG to keep its high-end market customers.

Now, let's check out the some of specs that have been revealed during the event. It has a touchscreen in the front with a Send and End (Power) key as the only buttons available. Thickness is only 8.9mm and Croix touchscreen UI is included. It's Samsung's own touch UI.

The Armani phone has a 3-megapixel camera and 50MB built-in memory with a microSD expandable slot. It also supports Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.

Finally, the price mentioned is about 400 euros for the Russian and European markets. The Armani phone will available at end of this year.

I hope Samsung can also do a great job with the Armani phone to keep its high-end markets in the international arena. But the price doesn't seem high enough compared with the Prada Phone, isn't it?
