This compact mobile phone comes with a smooth opening system & the whole handset has an elegant look & design. Its overall size & slide design makes this handset a pocket friendly shape which measures 105mm tall by 49mm wide by 14.9mm deep which is a ideal shape for carrying. The Samsung S5050 has a good sized screen which measures 2.2 Inches when measured diagonally & shows up to 262 thousand colours on a high resolution AMOLED screen. The user can view the screen when the handset is either in its slide open or slide closed state. This screen shows a rather fashionable looking & user friendly icon menu display allowing the user to switch between features with ease.

The Samsung S5050 comes with forty megabytes of built in memory & the user can add a memory card to extend the phones memory capabilities further if desired.
