Reception

The Omnia M received mixed feedback upon its announcement and launch. [8] [2] Reviewers noted the relatively high price for the device compared to its hardware specifications and competing devices. [5] [10] [8] The device was praised for its build, camera, display, and battery life; however, its low RAM and built-in storage were areas of concern, as the 4 GB variant had only 2.5 GB of user-accessible storage due to default applications. [8] Additionally, the lack of HSPA+ or DC-HSPA+ was criticized as providing insufficient data speed compared to other devices. [2] The device was also compared to its predecessor, the Omnia W. [2]
