Introduction
The Samsung i560 is a device from a bygone era of mobile phones, reflecting the transition period of the late 2000s when smartphones were gradually gaining popularity. Released in March 2008 after being announced in October 2007, the i560 is a relic that represents Samsung's efforts during the period when the Symbian OS was a dominant player in the smartphone market. Although discontinued now, the i560 offers a snapshot into the technology and design philosophy of its time.
