Design and Display
The Samsung E890 is crafted with a minimalist aesthetic, featuring a body dimension of 99.5 x 50 x 14.6 mm and a lightweight build of only 82 grams. It fits comfortably in one’s hand and can easily slip into a pocket, a convenience that contrasts with the bulkier designs of modern smartphones. The phone employs a 2.3-inch TFT resistive touchscreen, supporting 256K colors, which was quite advanced at the time of its release. This screen, with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, provides a reasonable display experience, although its 32.9% screen-to-body ratio may feel constrained compared to today's standards. One interesting feature is the handwriting recognition, which allowed users to interact with the phone in a way that was innovative for its time.
