Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone reviews round-up

What are other experts' opinions of the Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone? We round up a selection of the key reviews online and in print

(4/5)	Mobile Choice "The Samsung Armani is a thing of beauty. It's gorgeous both to look at and to hold. The touchscreen is far from perfect but is certainly one of the better interfaces we have used. The appealing camera and music player just about make up for the lack of 3G and WiFi, meaning Samsung and Armani's first outing together should go down well with the fashion conscious amongst you."

(6.8/10)	CNET.co.uk “If you're looking to squeeze an attractive phone into your skinny jeans, the Samsung Armani fits the bill. It's sturdy enough that you won't need to worry about it snapping it in half when you sit down. If you're looking for a super phone that does it all and lets you easily access the Internet on the fly, then we don't recommend buying the Armani phone.” Read the CNET.co.uk Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(6/10)	Pocket-lint.co.uk “Whip this out at a fashion-week after-show party and you’ll turn the fashionista’s heads 360-degrees, right off their shoulders.But look beyond its dashing design and the Armani phone’s cool cachet starts to wane. This is another touch phone to fall woefully short of the iPhone’s awesome touch UI dynamics while its feature set is a hotchpotch of the good and the bad.” Read the Pocket-lint.co.uk Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(4/5)	Mobile Phones UK “The Samsung Giorgio Armani phone is a truly compact touchscreen phone. It doesn't have the ease-of-use of Apple's iPhone nor the high-end features of the LG Viewty touchphone, but it looks amazing. If you can get used to the touchscreen interface, you'll find that it's a beautiful phone that can also take photos, record video clips and play music.” Read Mobile Phones UK's Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

Samsung have been inspired by the Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani when designing this stunning handset. The phone comes in a beautiful silver & black coloured casing which comes with a large high colour 2.6 Inch touch screen." Read Your Mobile Phone Reviews Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(3/5)	Stuff.tv “If good looks could kill then the Armani phone would be wanted for mass murder. But unfortunately, its elegant haute couture style is upstaged by a wobbly Naomi Campbell-esque catwalk performance. Yet another fashion phone that can’t quite nail the balance between style and substance” Read the Stuff.tv Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(4/5 )	TechRadar.com “Honed for the fashion-conscious phone buyer, the Giorgio Armani Samsung handset certainly delivers the required visual impact, looking the part of a sharply suited but subtly stylish mobile. Its elegant, smooth design isn’t quite carried over to the same extent in its touchscreen operation. Inevitably compared to the iPhone, the Samsung Croix user interface lags behind in terms of slickness of operation and ease of use.” Read the TechRadar.com Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(3/5 )	Computer Active “The Samsung Giorgio Armani is small and light and has excellent sound and viewing quality. However the touchscreen lets it down.” Read the Computer Active Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review

(70% )	The Register “The attractions of palming a Giorgio Armani-branded phone will be overwhelming for some fashion-phone buyers. However, this phone can be awkward and fiddly to operate. Some of the phone's features don’t feel fully integrated into the Croix UI...It has little of the elegant grace of Apple’s iPhone - not what you’d expect from the house of Armani, or Samsung.” Read The Register Giorgio Armani Samsung Phone review
