The X830 has a very small display when compared to other phones. The display is only 1.46 inches and has a resolution of 128x 220. The phone’s display is very small because of the overall size of the phone. Although the screen may be too small for a phone, it looks just fine for an MP3 player. Even though the screen is small, you are still able to view it in direct sunlight, which is not the case for many phones nowadays. 3.85

The X830 is an MP3 phone so it is a necessity that it has good audio features. When you are in the music player mode and close the swivel, the screen rotates sideways. This way you can see those long song titles and artist names a lot better on the small screen. The limited memory may be a problem for some because expandable memory is not supported. The current version has 1GB of built-in memory, but a 4 GB version of this phone will be released.
The X830 comes with white stereo headphones. The headphones look exactly like the iPod headphones, but have Samsung written on them. The headphones come with a 3.5mm headphone converter that most new MP3 phones are now packaged with. The converter plugs into the phone port which is the same as the Samsung D900, and has a 3.5mm headphone jack on the other side. The converter is equipped with a volume control buttons, which many other companies such as Sony Ericsson have failed to include into their models. As usual there is also a microphone included into the converter for making and receiving calls.
