Samsung SCH-A562

The Samsung SCH-A562, also known as the Samsung 830 is a flip phone released in 2003, carried by Pelephone Israel. The SCH-A562 is nothing more than a rebadged SCH-X430, down to the logic board still having "SCH-X430" silkscreened into it. Most of the changes are software related, such as removing mentions of SK telecom services, Anycall branding, and adding support for Hebrew.

This phone features a 128x160 color TFT display, 40 polyphonic melodies (with 25 sound effects and 25 melodies), roaming capabilities, accessible VAS / Services menu, etc.

There are 4 preloaded games (only 3 in later firmware versions), of which can be accessed in the "Games" home menu section. Another thing is that this so called "Java Games", is a rebadge of SK Telecom's "MPlayon" service. The only color available is silver, and there are no other known color options as of now.
