Samsung seems determined to have every single screen size covered by its all-encompassing Galaxy range -- its latest creation is the Galaxy Pocket, a tiny 2.8-inch mobile running Android version 2.3 Gingerbread.
For your money you'll get a 2-megapixel camera sitting on the rear, while the Pocket is powered by an 832MHz processor. There's a measly 3GB of internal storage, but you can increase that by popping in a microSD card.
This is a very basic phone, but the flip side is that it's likely to be very cheap, which is great news for those shopping on a tight budget.
This phone isn't particularly slim, measuring 12mm thick. At 97g it's incredibly light however, which counts in its favour.
It will be interesting to see how Android looks on this small screen. It has a very low 240x320-pixel resolution, but with a display this tiny that could actually prove helpful -- the low resolution will leave on-screen icons looking chunky, which could cut down on accidentally poking the wrong bit of the screen.
The Pocket will be out in the UK later this year
