The device sports a 3-inch capacitive touchscreen display, offering a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. The screen is sufficiently responsive for basic navigation and app usage, catering to those who are new to smartphones.

Powering the Galaxy Y is a modest 832 MHz processor paired with 290 MB of RAM.
