Summary
- The Ericsson GF 788 and Sagem MC 820 both exhibit basic build quality typical of late 1990s mobile phones, with the GF 788 measuring 105 x 49 x 24 mm and the MC 820 slightly larger at 130 x 50 x 26 mm, both weighing 135g.

- Neither phone includes a camera, and both have limited battery specifications, with the GF 788 housing a 550mAh battery, while the MC 820 has no specified capacity.
- Software experiences are minimal, as both devices lack modern features such as stereo speakers or headphone jacks, reflecting their era's technological limitations.
