Samsung I8520 Galaxy Beam Design and Build

Design and Build

The Galaxy Beam’s design reflects a typical early 2010s aesthetic, with a compact build that contrasts significantly with today's larger smartphones. Its dimensions are 123 x 59.8 x 14.9 mm, and it weighs 156 grams, offering a solid feel in the hand. The phone uses a Mini-SIM, which was the standard before the micro and nano SIMs became prevalent. The phone is finished in a sleek black color, which lends it a professional look. The inclusion of a physical projector is quite remarkable, adding a unique element to its design, though it does slightly increase its thickness compared to contemporaries.
