Just when we reported that Samsung will be releasing a new Armani-branded phone, we have an image of Motorola ZN5 wearing the very similar “Emporio Armani” badge. And yes, it’s fake according to Mobile-Review.com’s Eldar Murtazin. We guess it’s a work of Chinese cloners who never cease to amaze us with the speed they’re pushing new models to the market.

Again, beware what you’re buying. Your purchase may sound too good to be true…

    Yep, it’s a fake.

    Except not by any Chinese cloners.

    The news were manufactured by mobile.mail.ru (smape.com), the site that reported them, taking the glass from Samsung Armani Night Effect and putting it on the old ZN5 – probably to gain some attention and linklove

    Hi. Can anyone please help me ? It’s not about the motorola one but I got the Armani touchscreen and yes it is a chinese import. Just need a charger for it. Looked everywhere on chinese import websites and they are leading me to spanish websites making it look like a spanish make but then when you read the reviews on that they’re saying it was a chinese make blah blah blah. So if anyone knows where I can find a Ciorcio Arwani charger can you please blog back ?

    Hi. I have same phone, same problem. Did you find anyone who sells a charger for the Ciorcio Arwani phone? The original fell apart and the solder snapped.
