Geesung Choi, President of Samsung Electronics said: “Today's mobile phone manufacturers no longer just sell mobile phones, but sell more than the product itself – a slice of life and culture. We truly believe that our approach with Giorgio Armani is one step closer to our customers to enrich their lives with sophisticated style and cutting-edge technology.
He added, “This is a groundbreaking collaboration between one of world's most influential designers and an electronics leader. Samsung's innovative technology and Giorgio Armani's established iconic design philosophy are a perfect match as exemplified by the state-of-the-art Giorgio Armani-Samsung mobile phone.”
For the first time Giorgio Armani's signature elegance and simplicity is applied to mobile phone design. A large 2.6-inch QVGA TFT LCD screen maximizes the user's visual experience and optimizes the full touch-screen user interface (UI). Along with the outer appearance of the phone, the graphical user interface (GUI) and audio user interface (AUI) also reflect Giorgio Armani's modern simplicity. By adapting a haptical UI, users can feel an immediate mild vibration when they touch icons on the display. Being the size of a credit card and a mere 10.5 mm in thickness, the Giorgio Armani-Samsung Phone fits sensuously into a user's palm.
