Samsung GT-S5230, variously marketed as Tocco Lite, Avila, Samsung Star and Samsung Player One, is an entry-level touchscreen phone announced in March 2009 and released in May 2009 by Samsung.[1] It was highly popular as a cheap touch phone, with Samsung reporting sales of 30 million by December 2010.[2]

It is available in black, white, and pink, and there are gold and silver special editions. The phone has a 3.0" LCD with 262K Color WQVGA. In total the device measures 104×53×11.9 mm. It uses a WAP 2.0 browser and makes use of Java MIDP 2.0 as its Java support platform. It uses S3C2410[3] (CPU) at 200 MHz.

Compared to the previous Samsung F480 Tocco, the S5230 (as its "Lite" name would suggest) is a more budget model with a weaker camera, albeit with a slightly increased display size.[4] It was created in response to the success of the LG Cookie, which offered a full touchscreen phone at a budget price.[5] By default the S5230 does not support a 3G network connection and the base model lacks Wi-Fi connectivity; the S5230W and S5233W variants do support Wi-Fi.

The phone has a 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording, the camera having a smile mode and 4× digital zoom. The phone has software for editing photos and videos and music recognition. Its storage can be upgraded to 16 GB with a microSD card. The UI includes widgets which can display information from the internet. The phone has an inbuilt accelerometer for motion gaming and social networking.[6][7]
