We can call Samsung Corby, one of the first phone models that fascinated us from colorful covers to touch screens, the phone model of our youth. It wouldn’t be a lie to say that the model, which is much smaller than today’s phone models, was once very popular.
Samsung Corby, released in 2009, is perhaps famous for being the first phone of most of us. “What color is your life?” We are sure that you will be surprised when we talk about the features of the model that entered our lives with the slogan. We have compiled the surprising features of the Samsung Corby phone model for you in our article.

2.8 inch touch screen:
Compared to current phones, Samsung Corby has a 2.8 inch touch screen and is quite small in size. However, it is worth mentioning that Samsung Corby screens, which were one of the first examples of touchscreen phones considering the conditions of the year they were released, were quite large compared to the screen sizes of push-button phones.
It is also an important issue that the touch screen has increased to 3 inches in the Korean version of the model. The Korean version has many upgraded features.
240×320 pixel resolution:
Considering that the iPhone 14, one of the newly released phones, has a resolution of 2340×1080 pixels, it may surprise you that Samsung Corby has a resolution of 240×320 pixels. However, the resolution of the device, which was known to leave its mark on the year it was released, was quite normal for that period.
Resolution is just one of the features that stand out when choosing the phone to buy. That’s why Samsung Corby’s low resolution from today’s perspective surprises us a lot. Still, its cartoon user interface and smart unlocking feature are some of the features that make the device stand out.
2MP camera with smile detection:
It is impossible not to be surprised when compared to the camera features of the phones of our Samsung Corby era, which had a 2MP resolution and a smile-detecting camera, which was a major technological development at that time.
Considering how important camera features are for a phone, it seems incredible that Samsung Corby was so preferred in its time. Additionally, the device does not have a selfie camera. However, it seems that the device had a new feature for that period. 15FPS video shooting can be achieved with the device.
960 mAh battery capacity:
Battery capacity shows us how long it takes to charge a battery. The length of battery life is known as another criterion that users use when choosing a phone. It is considered standard for this capacity to be between 4500 and 6000 mAh in new generation phones.
Samsung Corby, which has a battery capacity of 960 mAh, is one of the most popular phones of the period despite its low capacity. Having 9 hours of talk time is another feature that makes it preferred.
50MB internal memory:
Although 50MB internal memory is small today, considering that social media was not that popular in 2009, internal memory is considered quite sufficient. It is known that the Samsung Corby model has a contact list where you can save up to 1000 contacts. In addition, having a microSDHC special card slot that supports up to 8GB is an important detail for the memory system at that time.
Multiple color options:
We mentioned in our article that the Samsung Corby device has many features. These covers come in colors such as yellow, white, pink and orange. Users can change their covers whenever they want. When you get bored of one color, you can switch to another color.
2G support:
It goes without saying that the device is supported with 2G support. It is known that there is no 3G support and Wi-Fi service. In addition to all this, considering that today’s phones are supported by 4.5G-5G, it is possible to say that they have made great progress since those times. Although the Korean version of the device has 3G support, it also has Wi-Fi service.
One of the reasons why the device is preferred is that it has Bluetooth 2.1 with A2DP. However, the Samsung Corby model does not have a positioning feature. Still, messaging via SMS, MMS and e-mail is one of the features offered by the device.
Direct connection to YouTube, MySpace and Facebook and ability to upload files to the internet:
Perhaps the reason why the Samsung Corby device is most preferred is that it can directly connect to YouTube, MySpace and Facebook. It can also upload files to the internet. It is one of the phones that made a splash during its release period in terms of establishing the connection between the phone and the internet.
Samsung Corby has features such as music recognition service, voice memo, editor and predictive text input. In fact, it is possible to say that he became famous thanks to these features. Another standout feature is that it includes an MP3 player and downloadable games.
TouchWiz has:
One of the reasons why Samsung Corby made its mark in 2009 is that it has TouchWiz. TouchWiz 1.0 version of this system, which appears as a touch user interface, is included in the Samsung Corby device. Now, advanced versions of this system are used in Samsung Galaxy brand phones.
Samsung Corby appears in 2009 as one of the first phones that ushered in a new era. We are all surprised when we hear about the features of the model that is a milestone for touch phones. The reason for this is actually how fast technology has changed until today.
