“Globally, we are number one for full-screen touch phones and recognize the importance of social networks in the modern mobile industry. Samsung’s target audiences are at the heart of its business strategy and the design and functionality of Samsung Genio Touch meets the needs of a highly digitally connected and style conscious youth audience – as does the affordable price point.”

And that right there, that last little sentence – almost like a stab in the back – is what makes us chuckle. That quote’s from some suit or other at Samsung that we can’t even be bothered cutting and pasting the name of and it’s why we sometimes have a little sad in our soul come these bleak Monday mornings. Let’s call him Johnny Fat Fingers, because no doubt this suit is so rich he overeats far too much and has to get his wide range of suits let out on a regular basis. Anyway, the point Johnny’s making up there, in relation to the Samsung Genio Touch, is that Samsung can’t get it out of their head that the only people who buy cheap phones are the ’style conscious youth audience.’ First of all, let’s have a little bit of sick in the mouth for that phrase in itself because you just know the only respect Johnny has for this youth is when he’s paying them to dance for him in seedy Korean night spots. But then the next assumption – that all these youth are poor – is just plain insulting. Just because you’re richer than some small nations, Johnny, doesn’t mean that everyone under the age of 25 who buys your phone is some ASBO-wielding, Dole queue scumbag. As does the affordable price point my arse.

Anyway, all of which bile should be set aside when you read this Samsung Genio Touch review, because as it shows the Genio is a decent little number, whatever your age or musical predilection. As does this official press release, if you can stomach more arse-speak from Johnny’s associates.

And if all of that’s a little too angry, just float away in the minute or so it takes you to watch this, frankly bizarre, video.
