December 22nd, 2009 - 11:57 pm by Wajiha H.
We have heard a lot about the Samsung SCH-i920 Omnia II which by some is being termed as the greatest Samsung touchscreen-equipped smartphone. Among the new things that have been introduced in it is the new and huge AMOLED(INFO) touchscreen display, improvements have been done to the camera and Samsung's TouchWiz interface, has been used in it as well. It comes with a smooth, warm plastic back panel featuring a red pattern which is beautiful yet somehow makes the phone look cheap. But when you actually use the phone it dawns upon you that it is anything but!
Samsung Omnia II

It is a big phone as it measures around 121mm x 61mm x 14mm (4.8in x 2.4 x .6in) in size, which makes it even longer than a Motorola DROID. Now this is a large device but the weight is in order, only around 143.2g (5.0oz) which is good as it makes handling the set a bit easier. Now other things that are worth mentioning include the 5mm headphone jack, located on the side of the phone which is unusual , the microSDHC(INFO) memory card slot that can be accessed by removing the rear cover. You do not have to remove the 1500mAh battery to get to the memory card slot in this handset.

The design of this phone looks awesome in the beginning, with the exception of a few things like touchscreen responsiveness and the lack of a d-pad. It is a stylish phone however and anyone holding this phone would feel proud to say the least as its subtly superior looks seize the hearts of users, it certainly did mine!
