When you hear your girlfriend saying she’d really like to change her mobile phone, the Vertu she received as a birthday gift this year, it kind of makes you want to scream. You’re smart enough to realize that she doesn’t have a mid-end device in her mind and that another expensive gift will be the first step in creating a huge hole in your bank account. Someone once told me that constancy is the key for a successful life, but come on, constancy in spending money on your girlfriend’s caprices doesn’t seem to be nowhere near a great success.

Anyway, if you take her desire into consideration, now that the Christmas is approaching, than let me introduce you a brand new luxury cell phone, Samsung GT-S9402, also known under the name of Samsung Ego. I’m sure you already know that Samsung has already had various attempts in the luxury cell phone market that didn’t make a sensation, whatsoever. Remember, for example, the partnership between the South Korean company and Bang&Olufsen that ended with the release of a pretty nice phone. But let’s face it, the device wasn’t spectacular!

Rumors about a new Samsung luxury cell phone started to cause a big fuss a couple of weeks ago. As you can see in the pictures, the company decided to use the classical candybar form factor, which has been adorned with several luxury features. For example, the Ego is made of advanced materials, like liquidmetal composite alloy, that isn’t common when it comes to cell phone devices. The alloy was developed by Caltech and features a 3 times increased strength, helping the Ego withstand 1.8 times the pressure. More than that, the material makes it a whole lot more flexible, while the vibration absorption is also better.

In addition, Samsung Ego has a dual-SIM card support: for one of the cards, the cell phone is a Triband GSM GPRS/EDGE, while for the other one it’s a Dualband GPRS/EDGE phone. On the other hand, it sports a 2-inch QVGA AMOLED display, with 262K color, a 5-megapixel camera, equipped with autofocus, image stabilization, smile detection feature, WDR and LED flash. The cell phone also has Bluetooth 2.0 and USB, as well as FM radio with RDS. The internal memory of the device is of 1GB, but it can be expanded with a microSDHC card of up to 8GB.

Measuring 115 x 48 x 16 millimeters and weighing 140 grams, this luxury cell phone is already available for an impressive price of 1,200 Euros. You must love your girlfriend a lot in order to make her wish come true!
