Design and Build
At first glance, the Alcatel OT 557 presents a compact and lightweight design, measuring 107.7 x 48.2 x 21.4 mm and weighing just 93 grams. The device's form factor, which fits comfortably in hand, is typical of early mobile phones prioritizing portability. Its build is straightforward, accommodating a Mini-SIM, which was the standard at that time. Although the materials do not match the premium feel of contemporary smartphones, they offer durability for day-to-day use.
