About the Samsung S8300
Samsung S8300 is listed in the mobile phones category. The recorded specifications include display diagonal: 7.11 cm (2.8"); internal storage capacity: 16 GB. This entry covers manufacturer code S8300. Specifications relate to this exact source record; other editions or packages may differ.
The 7.11 cm (2.8") display is specified at 240 x 400 pixels. Consider these together: a larger screen provides more physical space, while resolution determines the number of pixels available. Neither specification establishes brightness, colour accuracy or motion quality.
This configuration lists 80 MB of memory and 16 GB of storage. Memory supports active applications; storage holds software and files. Check upgradeability separately, because a capacity figure does not establish whether either component can be replaced.
