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.
