Samsung's compact Freeform 5 keyboard
Packing a lot of QWERTY into a small space, the Samsung Freeform 5 has a portable, pocketable build.
Glossy black all over
The phone's slick, high-gloss surface helps it slide into pockets.
Pocket-size
With its 2.4-inch screen and sub-5-inch height, it's considered a smaller phone by today's standards.
Keyboard close-up
Samsung did a nice job making the Freeform 5's buttons round, grippable, and fully separated. Despite that, the QWERTY's squeezed-in layout will simply be too closed in for some people's comfort.
Portrait-maker
A 3-megapixel camera with no flash won't wow anyone, but it is just fine for taking photo IDs.
More room
A microSD card slot on the spine accepts cards with capacities up to 32GB.
Customization
You can change the wallpaper, backlight, and font size on the Freeform 5, but beyond the essentials, Samsung keeps this handset pretty simple.
