The Samsung Impression (also identified as Samsung SGH-A877, SGH-A877, or A877) is a slider-type mobile phone produced by Samsung Electronics. Initially unveiled on March 30, 2009, it became available on April 7, 2009. This model stands out as the first United States-targeted handset to incorporate an AMOLED touchscreen.
Design
The SGH-A877 Samsung Impression features a slider design equipped with a vibrant 3.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen presenting a resolution of 240 by 400 pixels and supporting up to 256,000 colors. The device’s front panel is dominated by this bright touchscreen alongside three physical buttons positioned at the bottom: one to answer calls, another serving both to decline calls and act as the power button, and a back navigation key. Along the edges are controls including a volume rocker, a lock switch, a shortcut menu button, and a dedicated camera key. The top edge houses proprietary ports for the headset, charger, and USB connection. For text entry, the phone offers multiple options: a backlit full QWERTY keyboard that slides out, an on-screen full QWERTY keyboard, a standard numeric keypad mode, and a stylus-compatible handwriting input method. This device is one of AT&T’s quick messaging offerings.
