Design and Build
The Alcatel OT-818 is compact and lightweight, with dimensions of 110.5 x 53.4 x 12.3 mm and weighing just 100.5 grams. It fits comfortably in the hand, making it easy to carry and use with one hand. The build quality is typical of its era, featuring a plastic body available in the appealing colors of Steel Grey, Cyber Blue, and Mystery Pink, suitable for a range of personal styles. The choice of Mini-SIM and a resistive touchscreen underscores its positioning in the feature phone market, as resistive screens were common among low to mid-range phones at that time.
