Design and construction

The Samsung Beat270 is a dual-slider handset, a form factor that was pioneered by Nokia with its N95 Smartphone. Unlike the N95, the Beat270 does not have dedicated music keys below the slider. Instead, it houses two powerful stereo speakers underneath.

The dimensions of the Samsung Beat270 are 103.2 x 48.2 x 16.9 mm and it weighs 101 gm. On the face of the Beat270 is the 2.2" display and below it is the unique circular navigation key cluster. The navigation keys are surrounded by a circular ring of light that looks really cool in the dark when illuminated.

Sliding the phone up reveals the Call, End, Clear key and the alphanumeric keypad. Sliding the phone down reveals the stereo loudspeakers.

On the right side of the phone is the right loudspeaker grille at the top. Below it is the headset/charger/data cable port, which is protected by a flap. The camera shutter key is at the bottom.
