Similar to the samsung Galaxy S, the materials used on for the samsung I8250 are mainly plastic with a glossy finish. We would have preferred a metallic finish as that would feel more professional, especially since the business users will be one of the key target audiences for this phone. The top of the phone is where the projector lens is. This doesn't have a cover but we don't think that's going to be a problem as it is recessed so the probability of touching or breaking the lens is lower.
On the left edge of the phone right under the lens is a dial for focusing the projected image. That same side also sports volume controls and a micro-USB port for charging and syncing. The right side of the smartphone is where you'll find a 3.5mm audio jack, power button, projector shortcut key and the camera shutter. Those who use their phones as a music player may find the side location of the audio jack cumbersome when listening to music with the Beam left in a pant pocket.
The screen on the samsung I8250 is a 3.7-inch Super AMOLED display. This screen technology was earlier seen on the Samsung Wave and samsung Galaxy S devices. Like those two other devices, you get exception color reproduction, making the Beam a great device to view videos and images on. Below the screen is a large Home button flanked by touch-sensitive Menu and Back keys. We would have preferred physical buttons as we found ourselves going out of apps or videos accidentally on occasion, especially when trying to position the device properly when projecting an image.
