Samsung galaxy 3-part 1

Design

While it isn't as slim as its high-end cousin, the Galaxy s (9.9mm thin), the Galaxy 3 is quite compact at 113.5 x 55 x 13mm. Even then, the screen is not sacrificed--it has a 3.2 inch LCD, which is a reasonable size for a phone in this category. The resolution of this display is 240 x 400 pixels (WQVGA), which gives a little more screen estate compared with the more common QVGA (240 x 320 pixels) resolution. In comparison with other phones bearing HVGA (320 x 480-pixel) panels, text and images don't appear as sharp. But given its target segment, we found the phone perfectly acceptable.

A single physical Home button is found under the display, flanked by touch-sensitive Menu and Back keys. There is no directional pad, which makes accurate positioning of a cursor during text editing a little difficult.

On the top of the I5801 are a standard 3.5mm audio jack and a covered micro-USB port. A power button is also found here. Though made primarily of plastic, we found the Galaxy 3 to be solidly built. Its black battery cover stays on the phone firmly without wobble but can still be easily removed to reveal the 1,500mAh battery and microSD card slot.

The 3-megapixel camera on the back of the Galaxy 3 has an autofocus feature, but doesn't come with an LED for lighting up dark subjects.
