Body
Measuring 125.9 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm (4.96 x 2.53 x 0.39 inches), the device is available exclusively in black. Its display is shielded by Corning Gorilla Glass.[1] The rear cover, crafted from airbrushed aluminum, slides upward to reveal internal components. The removable battery provides access to both the mini-SIM and microSD slots beneath it. Positioned at the upper rear are the camera, LED flash, and loudspeaker. On the front face, a solitary menu button is situated between two touch-sensitive call buttons that replace traditional physical keys. The volume controls are located on the left edge, while the lock button sits on the right side. Compared to its Wave 2 predecessors, this model replaces physical call keys with capacitive touch alternatives and eliminates the dedicated camera button formerly found on the right side.[2]
Screen
Equipped with a 4-inch Super AMOLED display capable of rendering 16 million colors,[3] the screen features a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels and covers an area of approximately 45.5 cm² (~233 pixels per inch). This device enhances its predecessors' screen-to-body ratio, achieving roughly 56.3%. The display benefits from Corning Gorilla Glass protection and utilizes the TouchWiz UI for user interaction, which includes handwriting recognition functionality.[1]
Hardware
The handset runs on a single-core Scorpion processor, specifically the Qualcomm S2 MSM8255T, clocked at 1.4 GHz.[4][1] It includes 512MB of RAM[5] and starts with an internal storage capacity of 4GB,[1] which can be expanded by up to an additional 32GB through a microSD card slot.[3]
Camera
Equipped with a 5MP camera featuring LED flash and autofocus, the device captures images at a resolution of 2560x1920 pixels. It supports video recording at 720p resolution with a frame rate of 30fps. Additionally, there is a 0.3MP front-facing camera designed for video calling and selfies, offering 480p video quality. Users can enhance their pictures using the integrated photo editing tool.
Battery
The handset is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery rated at 1500 mAh. Charging is facilitated through the microUSB port located at the bottom edge of the phone. The device provides up to 535 hours of standby time on a 2G network and approximately 517 hours on a 3G network. Talk time extends to 14 hours and 15 minutes when connected to a 2G network, and about 8 hours and 40 minutes on a 3G connection.
Connectivity
This model supports connectivity on both 2G (GSM bands: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (UMTS bands: 900/2100 MHz) networks. Data services include GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, and HSUPA technologies. Wireless connections are enabled via WiFi 4 and Bluetooth version 3.0. Navigation is available through A-GPS combined with Samsung Mobile Navigator software. The phone can be linked to a computer using the microUSB interface and includes an integrated stereo FM radio receiver.
Operating System
The device operates on bada OS version 2.0 out of the box; however, it ceased receiving updates shortly after release due to the discontinuation of the bada platform less than a year following the phone’s debut.
