Samsung A697 Sunburst Design and Display

Design and Display

The Samsung A697 Sunburst features a compact body with dimensions of 101 x 52.8 x 13 mm and a light weight of just 87.3 grams. Its portability is a strong point, making it easy to slip into a pocket without adding noticeable weight. The phone employs a TFT resistive touchscreen, spanning 3 inches with a resolution of 240 x 400 pixels. The screen's 256K color capacity and 155 ppi density deliver acceptable performance by 2010 standards, though it lacks the vibrancy and responsiveness of capacitive touchscreens that would soon become industry standard. The TouchWiz UI offers a user-friendly interface, albeit with basic functionality by today's expectations.
