Design of Samsung Focus 2

The phone has a sleek and appealing design which is sure to be a treat for the eyes of the user. When it comes to design, Samsung Focus 2 follows the design principles of previous Samsung mobiles.

Now coming to the rear side of the phone, you will spot the camera, two notches for internal speaker and LED flash.
