Samsung SGH-E370

The Samsung SGH-E370 is a small slider phone released by Samsung around March 2006.

This phone is the successor of the SGH-E350. Improvements include a slightly bigger screen, improved camera resolution, and Bluetooth support.

The most common color is Black. There are other colors available like red or pink, but those are very rare to come by.

This phone is based on an early version of the Swift chipset platform. It has a Yamaha MA-3 (YMU762C) instead of the Swift software synthesizer.
