- Its 2.2-inch TFT display supports 65K colors with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, providing decent visual quality for basic tasks.
- Performance-wise, it is equipped with 19MB of internal storage and 19GB of RAM, which is substantial for its time but limits modern app usage.
- The camera is a basic VGA type with no optical image stabilization, and it lacks a front-facing camera, making it unsuitable for selfies.
