Design and Build
The Samsung E490 is a compact and lightweight handset, perfectly sized for pocketability with dimensions of 94 x 49 x 15.5 mm and a weight of just 83 grams. The design is typical of its era, featuring a mini-SIM configuration and an elegant form factor available in two appealing color combinations: Red/Silver and Red/Black, each with unique keypads. Despite its simple aesthetic, it offers a robust build quality reflective of Samsung's standards at the time.
