Ensure access to emergency services

Emergency calls from your phone may not be possible in some areas or circumstances. Before travelling in remote or undeveloped areas, plan an alternate method of contacting emergency services personnel.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) certification information

Your phone conforms to European Union (EU) standards that limit human exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy emitted by radio and telecommunications equipment. These standards prevent the sale of mobile phones that exceed a maximum exposure level (known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR) of 2.0 watts per kilogram of body tissue.

During testing, the maximum SAR recorded for this model was 0.531 watts per kilogram. In normal use, the actual SAR is likely to be much lower, as the phone has been designed to emit only the RF energy necessary to transmit a signal to the nearest base station. By automatically emitting lower levels when possible, your phone reduces your overall exposure to RF energy.

The Declaration of Conformity at the back of this manual demonstrates your phone’s compliance with the European Radio & Terminal Telecommunications Equipment (R&TTE) directive. For more information about the SAR and related EU standards, visit the Samsung mobile phone website.

The internal memory of the GT-S5230 series stood at 50 MB, but this could be expanded up to 16 GB via microSD card, an essential feature for users who required additional storage for multimedia files. The device also came preloaded with several applications, including a web browser, media player, and social networking applications, catering to the needs of users who sought entertainment and connectivity on the go.

Additionally, the GT-S5230 featured a user-friendly interface known as TouchWiz, which enhanced the smartphone experience with widgets and customizable home screens. With a sleek and compact design, weighing around 92 grams, the device was portable and easy to handle.

Overall, the Samsung GT-S5230LKWSEB and GT-S5230OWWSEB represented a significant step in mobile technology during their time, offering essential features and a solid performance for users looking for a reliable touch-screen smartphone.
