Introduction
I don’t think there’s anyone who follows Samsung’s model numbering, while looking for any kind of logic is completely useless. I’m afraid that even the Samsung guys are looking dumbly at each other when one of them says that hey, have we launched S7220 already? Which one’s that? You know our phone with the AMOLED display. Oh, yeah, of course, we have so much of those that could make up the whole product range at another manufacturer.
S7220 just became available without any kind of announcement or fuss. We have brought it from the XXL GSM shop (well, the courier brought it in fact), it looked promising on pictures, the AMOLED display wasn’t a disappointment ever, first I would have placed it in the upper mid-range, for example as the rival of Nokia 6700.
Samsung always did that. They have a couple of flagship models (Omnia, i8910, F480, S5230), which are being advertised, they are sold at network operators and they spend all the money they have to in order to make everyone who is somewhat into mobile communication know these phones. The other phones are launched in the shadow of these big ones and they become successful, or not. It starts to become evident that it’s better to give phones names instead of numbers. LG is great in this, Renoir, Prada, Viewty, Arena, Crystal are all great names. Now Samsung, after BeatDJ and Omnia, is going against the trends and even the great Omnia HD has been renamed, while there is zero coherence amongst their S-series models.
Aside from these, S7220 could still be as successful as S5320. But it won’t be. It’s too low-keyed, at least compared to the others. Of course it’s still not bad, but I’d say that there will be more customers to buy such a handset on the “will decide in the store” principle than those people who specifically want an S7220.
