Design and Build
In terms of design, the Chea 198 is a compact device, measuring 106 x 45 x 20 mm. This makes it rather small by today's standards, but this size was typical for early mobile phones. Weighing in at just 80 grams, it's incredibly light, making it easy to carry around in a pocket or purse. The phone uses a Mini-SIM format, which was quite standard at the time. Despite its simple design, the build gives off a very durable feel, as was common for phones of that era.
