Fresh-faced Flash
The Samsung Focus Flash may be the more budget-minded of Samsung's two new Windows Phones, but that doesn't mean it's bland. The dapper-looking handset has squared-off edges and a useful center button. The 3.7-inch Super AMOLED screen is clear and bright, but feels a mite small.
Stylish backing
One of our most frequent complaints about Samsung phones is their proclivity to look toylike with all that glossy black plastic. Samsung must have taken a cue from HTC in giving the Focus Flash a metal strip on the removable back cover.

Camera and flash
What would the Focus Flash be without a flash? The phone has a 5-megapixel rear-facing camera with flash, and a VGA front-facing camera. The shots are pretty good overall.
