•Deactivate the Bluetooth feature.

•Deactivate the Wi-Fi feature.

•Deactivate auto-syncing of applications.

Inserting a memory card

Your device accepts memory cards with maximum capacities of 32 GB. Depending on the memory card manufacturer and type, some memory cards may not be compatible with your device.

incompatible card may damage the device or the memory card, or corrupt the data stored in it.

•Use caution to insert the memory card right-side up.

•The device supports only the FAT file system for memory cards. When inserting a card formatted in a different file system, the device asks to reformat the memory card.

•When inserting a memory card into the device, the memory card’s file directory appears in the extSdCard folder under the internal memory.

The Samsung GT-S5280, commonly known as the Samsung Galaxy Pocket, is a compact smartphone that was launched to cater to users seeking an affordable yet functional device. This smartphone is particularly noteworthy for its petite size, making it extremely portable and user-friendly. It features a 2.8-inch QVGA display with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, which may not be as sharp as modern smartphones, but is sufficient for basic tasks and casual browsing.

One of the key characteristics of the GT-S5280 is its lightweight design, weighing just 97 grams. This makes it easy to carry around in one hand or fit into a pocket. The device is powered by a modest 1 GHz processor, enabling smooth functionality for day-to-day activities such as messaging, calling, and using lightweight applications.

In terms of memory, the Samsung Galaxy Pocket comes equipped with 512 MB of RAM and has an internal storage capacity of 4 GB, which can be expanded via a microSD card slot, allowing users to store music, photos, and apps according to their needs.

Camera capabilities of the GT-S5280 include a 2-megapixel rear camera, which, while basic, can capture decent photos in good lighting conditions. Video recording is also supported, albeit at a lower quality than contemporary standards. The smartphone is designed with social connectivity in mind, offering quick access to popular social media applications.

Connectivity options include 3G support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS, ensuring users remain connected to the internet and can utilize location services. The battery life is another strong point, with a removable 1200 mAh battery that provides sufficient power for daily usage without frequent recharging.
