The i-Mobile 520 is part of the Multimedia range of phones sold by Samart i-mobile (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd. At the time of writing, the RRP for this device is RM 448. The 520 is a simple candybar device with the buttons on the front and the camera lens on the back. The surface of the casing appears to be brushed metal, but tapping upon it with other metal items did not produce a metallic ring, so it appears that this is merely a very well done paint job.There is a volume toggle on the left, while the camera button is on the right. Also found on the right side is the USB port and the slot for the MicroSD card. The screen is a 262K-colour one, measuring in at 176 x 220 pixels for a rather small but fairly bright effect. We liked the default wallpaper which displayed two clocks. One clock showed KL time while the other showed Sydney time.
The other applications found inside the phone are the Alarm, Calendar, To-Do List, Memo, Calculator, Converter, World Clock and a Dual Clock function which displays the two clocks on the desktop as mentioned earlier. This 520 device has a built-in 1.3 megapixel camera with the lens on the back of the device as mentioned earlier.
The camera has plenty of effects such as the sepia effects shown in the pictures. There is a night mode option and you can also play with the white mode effects. There is a delay timer if you wish to use it, and you can shot single pictures, or 4-shots and 6-shots in sequence.
