Don't expect heads to turn when this phone is in your hands: it looks very ordinary and feels just like any other
Samsung slider phone. The unit is fairly thick, sports a brushed aluminium finish that prevents fingerprints from sticking to the surface, and a large screen that takes up half of the space (when closed).
Users can find the key tone/volume buttons and proprietary headphone/charging port on the left spine, a microSD card slot and camera key on the right spine, and a 2.2-inch screen display, a secondary camera, soft keys (left and right), dial and end keys, as well as the ‘Adaptive Touch' panel up front. While unnecessary, the ‘sunken' area found at the end of the top panel is a welcomed addition, helping users slide the unit more easily.
Sliding the phone reveals the keypad with three additional hotkeys (video call, clear, and application switch) for added versatility. The keys are not raised, which makes ‘touch-texting' difficult. It does have a row separator though, which helps split the buttons to a certain degree.
