Smartphones, they’re so… predictable. We see so many fly under our noses these days that we can barely tell them apart. So what about the Samsung Omnia 2. Does it have Wifi? Check. GPS? Check. 3.5G? Check. Camera around the 5-8 megapixel range? Check…
So when the recent spurt of Samsung announcements about the new Omina series wafted our way, we weren’t expecting much except another few tick boxes hastily checked. However, the Samsung Omnia 2 I8000 has really caught our eye. Which is exactly what you’d expect of something that has a 3.7” AMOLED screen. Or, to translate: the biggest ever screen on a mobile, and a screen made of the hottest new technology that brighter, crisper, thinner and more energy efficient than anything else out there. So we won’t waste our time telling you about the achievable download speeds, the dual LED flash or the expandable MicroSD memory… you know all that. What you don’t know is just how good this screen is. The video below gives a little hint, but you really have to see this thing in action.
Helping it out a great deal is the TouchWiz 2.0 user interface which has more live action widgets, customisable effects and cool looking ways to navigate your phone’s world than you can imagine. What’s more, the video playback makes full use of the 800 x 480 pixels giving DVD-like playback for your travelling-to-work-time-killing entertainment. Check out a full Samsung Omnia 2 review here for all the usual box-checking. The Samsung Omnia 2 I8000 won’t be hitting your shelves for a couple of months, but keep your eyes peeled for when it does.
