Display
Equipped with a 2.4-inch TFT display, the Alcatel OT-838 provides 256K colors. While the screen is modest by today's standards, holding a 320 x 240 resolution with a 4:3 aspect ratio, it was adequate for basic tasks at the time. The screen-to-body ratio of 25.4% is quite low, reflecting the design priorities of phones during this era, where keyboards took precedence over expansive displays.
