The Samsung SGH-x475 is a compact and stylish mobile phone that was launched in the early 2000s, representing a significant step in the evolution of mobile technology during that era. Aimed at users looking for a blend of functionality and design, the SGH-x475 featured a clamshell design that was not only fashionable but also practical, protecting the screen and keypad when not in use.

In terms of battery life, the SGH-x475 was equipped with a removable lithium-ion battery that provided up to 7 hours of talk time and up to 200 hours of standby time. This longevity was essential for users on the go, ensuring that the phone could last through busy days without needing frequent recharging.
