Bar
|
A bar (also slab, block, or slate) phone takes the shape of a cuboid, usually with rounded corners and/or edges. The name is derived from the rough resemblance to a candy bar in size and shape. This form factor is widely used by a variety of manufacturers, such as Nokia and Sony Ericsson. Bar-type mobile phones normally have the screen and keypad all on one face. The Samsung SPH-M620 is a unique take on the bar form factor, offering different devices on either side of the bar: a phone on one side, and a digital audio player on the other.

Or help to half-a-crown.’”
