Rumour: Samsung Armani 2 Specifications Revealed

samsung armani 300x300 Rumour: Samsung Armani 2 Specifications Revealed SEOUL, South Korea - Images and specifications of Samsung's second device belonging to its uber-end Armani series devices have been spotted. Contrary to the previous rumours, the Armani II will be powered by Windows Mobile 6.1, and not 6.5 as speculated until recently.

While there has been no official word from Samsung Mobile regarding this device, leaked images and specifications first appeared at the Samsung HD Blog, following which blogs across the globe have been discussing about this latest Samsung entry to Win-Mo devices.

Until recently, Windows Mobile has been the forte of Samsung's now famous Omnia series, but with the Armani II, the Korean electronics-giant is attempting to add that "oomph" factor to the already impressive Omnia series. The official model number of this device will be B7620.

The phone packs a powerful 800 MHz processor and a dedicated graphics chip for improved graphics performance.

While detailed specifications are scarce, Bluetooth SIG, the original source of the full specifications, revealed the following details: Wi-Fi, A-GPS, a full HTML browser (Internet Explorer), Bluetooth, FM Radio with RDS, Music player with support for MP3, WAV, e-AAC+, WMA, and AMR formats; video player with support for DivX, XviD, MPEG4, 3gp, H.263, and H.264 files; and a business card scanner.

There has been no mention of camera, screen size or resolution, and given the limited information regarding specifications, it is rather difficult to predict the target audience for the new Armani phone: the Armani series has been targeting the fashion conscious consumer, while Windows Mobile and the high-speed processor seem to be targeting the smartphone user. Further with a dedicated graphics chip and support for the latest generation H.264 and H.263, the device is a high-end multimedia device.

Samsung may be attempting to appeal to a wider consumer base with its latest offering, but the absence of a full QWERTY keyboard may just prove to be a dampener for the Korean handset manufacturer.
