It measures 35mm by 47mm and displays 256,000 colours. Underneath it, there is stationed an obtrusive small VGA camera for video calling. The keypad is large, well spaced out, and the keys are easy to press.Samsung Z560's USP is its high speed internet connectivity. Thus, downloading of web content becomes a truly delightful experience, specially for the ones who are veteran mobile Internet browser used to GPRS speeds. Pages like BBC's News homepage are accessed instantly. The built- in browser lets you set it to desktop view so you can view pages as in the computer. Or you can set it to smart-fit view, which squashes the whole page to the size of the Samsung Z560's display.
