A Korean novelty, Samsung S5550 Shark2, appeared in our hands which hadn’t been taken by anyone as a novelty. People thought, that this phone was a model of last year, and even from the series of DuoS. We wanted to describe it as a “normal slider” and nothing special, but the name “Shark 2” binds us to say something more about this novelty. At first glance it seems that the device is thick, and this doesn’t fit with its concept of “inexpensive stylish phone”. However, you can see yourself what the novelty looks like.

The navigational key and the control unit are made quite amusingly as a whole. They look nontrivially, the keys are of a decent size, and it is comfortable to click on them in any situation, even while moving.

By the way, the back cover of S5350 “shark” is metallic. The quality of the S5550 series is very decent, and it will certainly serve for years.
