Design and Build
The Samsung SGH-500 features a compact and utilitarian design typical of late 1990s mobile phones. With dimensions of 112 x 48 x 19 mm, it was considered relatively slim and sleek. The phone's weight with the slim battery is 115g, making it quite portable. The body is built to accommodate a Mini-SIM card, which was the standard at the time. The phone's aesthetics are straightforward, with a functional keypad and a monochrome graphic display that displays information clearly despite its simplicity.
