Design Elements

Samsung Galaxy S plus is a 122.4 x 64.2 x 9.9 mm dimensioned phone weighing about 119 gms. On the surface, nothing has changed on the Samsung Galaxy S Plus. It’s the same sleek case with a hardware button for home and two soft-keys for the context menu and the back button. It has the curious kink on the back cover, something that has all but gone from the newer Galaxy S II. Volume controls are on the left of the phone, with the lock key on the right. It’s harder to push on the side, which makes unlocking the phone a bit harder and slower.
