The Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo is an Android-based smartphone developed by Samsung, first revealed in March 2013 and subsequently launched in May of the same year. Positioned as the follow-up model to the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Plus, this device retains its budget-friendly nature while introducing a slightly larger display measuring three inches diagonally. Its hardware closely resembles that of its predecessor, with only modest enhancements such as the upgrade to Android version 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and the increased screen size. Continuing the tradition of its lineage, the Galaxy Pocket Neo is promoted as "Pocket Friendly," emphasizing its compact dimensions that allow it to fit comfortably in pockets despite the expanded display area.
Design
Constructed from plastic, the Samsung Galaxy Pocket Neo features a 3.0-inch screen. Positioned on the upper bezel are the "Samsung" emblem, an earpiece, and various sensors, while the lower bezel houses a physical home button accompanied by two capacitive keys for menu and back functions. Along the side frame, the left side contains a volume control rocker, and the right side includes the power button. At the bottom edge, there is a microUSB port alongside a microphone opening, whereas the top edge accommodates a 3.5 mm headphone jack. The rear panel incorporates a camera and speaker but lacks an LED flash. The removable back cover provides access to a detachable battery, as well as slots for a microSD card and SIM card.
Its dimensions are 105 x 57.8 x 11.8 mm, and it weighs 100 grams. The handset is offered in two color variants: white and gray.
Hardware
Under the hood, the Galaxy Pocket Neo is equipped with a Broadcom BCM21654/G system-on-chip featuring an 850 MHz single-core ARM Cortex-A9 processor. The device includes 512 MB of RAM and offers 4 GB of built-in storage, which can be expanded by up to 32 GB through a microSD card slot. The display is a 3-inch TFT LCD with QVGA resolution (240x320 pixels) and a pixel density of 133 ppi. Powering the phone is a removable 1200 mAh lithium-ion battery. Connectivity options encompass 3G network support, Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n), Bluetooth version 4.0, GPS, and GLONASS positioning systems. The rear camera has a 2-megapixel sensor capable of capturing video at 320x240 pixels with a frame rate of 15 fps.
