Design and Build
The Alcatel OT 512 features a compact and lightweight design, with dimensions of 97 x 42 x 20 mm and a weight of only 75 grams, making it easy to hold and carry. Its small size was typical for phones from this period, designed to fit comfortably in pockets or bags. The phone adopted a candy bar format, which was prevalent at the time, with its body available in two color options: Gold and Platinum. The build quality, while basic, was robust enough for daily use, serving well for those who preferred practicality over aesthetics.
