Design and Build
The BenQ-Siemens A38 boasts a compact and lightweight design, measuring 103.5 x 45.5 x 18.7 mm and weighing only 90 grams. This makes it a highly portable device, easily slipping into pockets or small bags. Its compact size, however, contributes to a rather small display by modern standards; the 1.4-inch CSTN screen with a resolution of 96 x 64 pixels provides basic visual output suitable for its limited functionalities. The phone's exterior is available in two muted color options, Bold Charcoal and X-treme Gray, which align with its understated design ethos.
