Short Review
- The Samsung R640 Character features a compact design with dimensions of 107 x 55 x 15 mm and a weight of 120g, making it portable and easy to handle.
- Its 2.8-inch TFT display supports 256K colors with a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels, offering decent visuals for basic tasks.

- The camera is basic, with a 1.3 MP rear sensor and no optical image stabilization, providing minimal photography options.
- Battery life is supported by a 1000 mAh capacity, but it does not offer fast or wireless charging.
- The software is unspecified, indicating a lack of advanced features commonly found in modern smartphones.
- Connectivity options include Bluetooth 2.1 but lack WiFi and 5G support, limiting internet access.
