He is on the similarity of many low-end models of Samsung Galaxy line was rounded edges and a plastic housing bezel “on a metal” encircling the edges. It then housed most of the functionality of the controls: top – audio jack and port microUSB, bottom – two gratings, concealing microphone and multimedia speaker, well, right “marginalia” given over to the volume rocker and power button. Incidentally, the latter is very small, but because it is likely to miss.
