The World’s Slimmest Phone
The Ultra Edition 5.9 features a groundbreaking slim size at an amazingly slender 5.9mm, making it the world’s slimmest phone. Inside lies a bevy of powerful features including a 3.2 Megapixel Camera.
Apart from the fact that SGH-U100 is the slimmest mobile phone in the world, there’s not much else that will catch your eye. On the contrary, the phone is big and wide in sizes and if you’re not too cautious when you carry it, you can easily crack it. Still, the phone has an amazingly slim aspect and will probably fit in any tight pocket. The only problem will be its height and width, which were wrongly listed on the Internet. The actual sizes of the handset are 115 x 50 x 5.9 mm, but most sites listed the phone with 105.5 mm height which is totally incorrect. At these sizes the handset is surely light, weighing only 57 grams (battery included), which will probably make it almost imperceptible in your pocket.
The only external buttons that you’ll notice are the dual volume keys on the left side and the camera key placed on the right side of the handset. Right above the latter, under a plastic stripe, you’ll find an USB port that can also be used as a charge socket. Perhaps the slimness device didn’t allow Samsung to fit in a microSD slot card for memory expansion, but this is no music phone so don’t worry about it. The “huge” 3.2 Megapixel camera has been placed on the back of the phone and features self-portrait mirror capabilities. The keypad used is standard for all Samsung phones, but very flat. In fact, this may be a big problem for those that are frequently using SMS-texting. I don’t know if it’s a software problem or a technical one, but the middle key from the D-pad (Confirm button) is really a pain to use, especially if you have larger fingers. Backlighting is excellent and you’ll be able to use the keypad with ease in dark areas.
