Design and Build
The Alcatel Hero sports a sleek design with dimensions of 158.5 x 80.6 x 8.5 mm, making it fairly large and substantial in hand, as one would expect from a device with a 6-inch display. The phone weighs 177.6 grams, which contributes to a robust feel, and the choice of materials implies durability. While the bezels are somewhat noticeable by today's standards, at the time, a screen-to-body ratio of approximately 77.7% was quite impressive. The phone is available in classic black and white colors, offering a minimalist aesthetic. The ability to use either a single micro-SIM or dual micro-SIMs with dual standby capability adds flexibility for users managing multiple lines. The inclusion of a stylus was a distinguishing feature, catering to productivity-focused users.
