A record of 10.9 mm in thickness

Samsung U600 has been around for some time now but it still has managed to maintain its title as the world's slimmest slider phone. This comes as part of Samsung's efforts to bring the most evolved technological breakthroughs in the most compact and modern designs.

This mobile phone has an exquisite appearance to pride itself with. Samsung U600 is not only the slimmest slider phone to have ever been made, but it also looks great. It comes with smooth lines and simple, but elegant shapes, worthy of a modern mobile device.

The most appealing feature about is that it has only 10,9 mm in thickness, which makes it tough for any other slider to break its record, possibly only if made of paper sheets. Still, that's not a concept to look forward to, as futuristic as it may seem. Moreover, the buttons are highly discrete, as they are all flat and almost 2D. This might annoy those who have grown used to old fashion buttons and don't place design ahead of functionality.

The 2.2 inch display screen may not include touch screen or the latest trends, but it proves just fine for rendering images with a resolution of up to 240 x 320 pixels. That's excellent news, as the 3.2 megapixel camera is set to offer high quality video and image captures which will surely look great on this screen.

Samsung U600 comes with a 60 MB of shared memory, but also includes a microSD slot in order to provide maximum amount of storage space to its user. This might prove to be useful for storing photos, video and MP3 files, as well as any other personal information coming from the user.

Samsung U600 is currently available for purchase from a series of mobile operators, for a price ranging between 210 and 285 pounds, depending on additional costs or contract specifications.
