Samsung Armani W8200 AMOLED Touchscreen Designer Phone

Back at the beginning of September we brought you a fairly comprehensive run down concerning the up and coming Samsung Armani W8200 AMOLED touchscreen phone that comes with integrated DMB TV tuner and now, thanks to further details emerging we can not only build upon what we already know but we can bring you some pretty impressive imagery of what is a pretty impressive handset.

As Alex stated in his initial heads up, as linked above, the Samsung Armani W8200, which measures in at 100.9 x 53.7 x 15.1mm and weighs in at 132g, touts a 3.1” AMOLED WVGA resolution touchscreen with slider style keypad (serving to supplement its touchscreen functionality) and, as rumoured, does indeed additionally pack a 5 megapixel autofocus camera along with integrated DMB TV tuner whilst offering HSDPA connectivity along with Bluetooth. This is all now confirmed as is the fact that it comes with microSD card slot allowing for bolt-on additional capacity which, considering the Armani W8200 also touts integrated video and audio playback capabilities will doubtless prove especially handy – though the handset will come with a bundled 16GB memory card from what we can gather.

The main draw, however, aside from its DMB TV tuner, is the Samsung Armani W8200’s designer aesthetics which sees the handset finished in gold – though, at this juncture, being that we don’t read Korean, we cannot establish whether we’re talking about real gold plating here (we assume it is). Of course if we had insight as to quite how much the W8200 will retail for we could reasonably hazard a fairly educated guess but, alas, there’s still no official word concerning what sort of price tag the W8200 will carry. And, still there’s no mention as to availability – so we cannot offer you any specifics concerning its release.

That said, specifics concerning pricing and release date aside, its clear from the imagery (and the handset’s Armani branding) that the W8200 is going to come at a premium.

We have our ears pressed firmly to the ground on this so the moment we can offer up a price and date of availability you’ll have it. In the meantime, however, console yourself by feasting your eyes on what is a mighty fine looking designer handset that’s, understandably, getting more than its fair share of hype.
