Released in 2002, the Samsung SGH-S105 (often associated with the SGH-S100 series) was a notable folder-type GSM world phone, recognized as one of the first handsets outside of Japan and Korea to feature a vibrant 65,000-color UFB-LCD display.
Primarily offered by T-Mobile in the US market, this advanced flip phone enhanced the user experience with an external display, support for Java (J2ME) applications, GPRS connectivity, and polyphonic ringtones. As a premium device of its era, the SGH-S105 bridged the gap between basic cellular phones and early multimedia-capable smartphones, offering a significant, color-rich upgrade to the clamshell design.

Samsung SGH-S100: The direct global counterpart to the SGH-S105. While they are functionally identical, the "S105" designation was specifically used for the version sold by T-Mobile in the United States.
Samsung SGH-T100 (2002): Launched around the same time, this was Samsung’s first flip phone to feature a color screen. It was often compared to the S105 but lacked some of its advanced features like GPRS data.
Samsung SGH-S300 (2003): A successor in the "S" series, notable for being one of the smallest clamshells of its time to feature dual color screens (both internal and external).
Samsung SGH-E105 (2003): A later mid-range T-Mobile exclusive that followed the S105's design language but used a more affordable CSTN display instead of the premium TFT panel.
