Samsung SGH-X820, also identified as Ultra Edition 6.9, is a mobile phone developed by Samsung and introduced in the third quarter of 2006 as a member of the Samsung Ultra Edition lineup.
Promoted by Samsung as "the world's slimmest mobile phone," this model was positioned to rival the Motorola SLVR L7. It succeeded the Samsung D830, which had been released earlier that year and previously held the title of "world's slimmest."
When unlocked and sold in the United States in late July of 2006, the price was set at $449.00.[1]
Hardware
The X820 is equipped with a landscape-oriented LCD display measuring approximately two inches diagonally, supporting a resolution of 220×176 pixels and capable of displaying around 262,000 colors. Unlike many phones that use a portrait screen layout, this device opts for a horizontal arrangement. For mobile data connectivity, it supports GPRS and EDGE technologies, while wireless short-range communication is facilitated by Bluetooth version 1.2.
Incorporated into the handset is an approximately 2-megapixel digital camera capable of capturing images at a maximum size of 1600×1200 pixels. Positioned at the thicker upper section of the phone, the camera lens is clearly noticeable. Video capture functionality records at CIF resolution (352×288 pixels).
A notable limitation identified early on was the absence of a memory card slot; storage is confined to an internal capacity of only 80 MB.[2][1]
The most significant drawback reported concerned the structural design of the casing, which proved insufficiently robust and could break into two pieces under minimal stress.[3] This issue often emerged only after prolonged usage by many owners.
Successors
Following the debut of the X820, the title of the world's thinnest mobile phone was eventually claimed by Samsung's Ultra Edition II 5.9mm (U100).Template:Fix/category[citation needed] Subsequently, Samsung introduced an even more slender model known as the Samsung U108.
