Design and Build
The Alcatel OT-978, announced in 2012 and now discontinued, is a compact device with its dimensions measuring 127.4 x 66.1 x 10.9 mm and a weight of 144.5 grams. Its form factor is fairly typical for smartphones from that era, with a black finish contributing to a simple aesthetic. The build accommodates a Mini-SIM card slot, which is now considered outdated as the industry has shifted towards smaller SIM sizes.
