The touch screen itself measures 3 inches diagonally & provides a colour display. This Samsung handset is a mid range Smartphone & not a super Smartphone like the Samsung I9100 Galaxy S II which hits the top the Samsung Smartphone range, however it is a user friendly phone with many fun features & aimed for the younger Smartphone user. It is known as the Samsung Galaxy Y & also as the Samsung Galaxy Y S5360 or the Samsung Galaxy Y Young. The metallic grey coloured casing is stylish & modern & this Android™ Smartphone comes with a TouchWiz user interface, plus you have access to over 200 thousand applications which are available to the Android market.

Reviewer: Ian B - Liverpool, UK

I got the got S5360 on an upgrade from a Nokia 6300, tried to download photo, s via email & could only do one at a time. I had to send 9 emails to get the album to the recipient, also can't use my favourite ringtone sent via memory card, it's just on the card. This phone is rubbish, I have gone back to my Nokia 6300 for now.
