Samsung has released a Hugo Boss luxury phone based on the manufacturers F480 handset.

Fans of the label can now acquire a touchscreen mobile phone using Samsung technology and branded with the Hugo Boss logo.

One of the new additions is a Hugo Boss-styled Bluetooth headset, which comes with the phone.

More collaborations are being formed between mobile phone manufacturers and leading clothing designers.

LG and Prada have joined forces in the past, releasing two handsets with the Prada label.

Like Hugo Boss, Armani teamed up with Samsung to create the Emporio Armani Night Effect handset, designed to appeal to young, fashion-conscious consumers.

The Hugo Boss phone features a five-megapixel camera and has a 2.8-inch touchscreen display.

Its camera has face detection technology and autofocus capabilities.

Users will be able to access the internet on the unit through 3G and HSDPA connectivity.

Other features have been tweaked to fit the Hugo Boss style, such as the inclusion of extra ringtones and the menu layouts.

It supports SMS, EMS and MMS messaging as well as email and instant messaging.

Once fully charged, the battery offers 250 hours stand-by and up to three hours of talk time.

Owners of the phone will be able to store up to 1,000 names in their handset, which supports photocall.

The LG Prada phone has a two-megapixel camera, MP3 player and FM Radio.

It is only available in black and features a capacitive 240 x 400, three-inch touchscreen.
