Design and Build
The HTC Merge exhibited a robust build with dimensions measuring 120.7 x 61.9 x 13.8 mm and a weight of 198 grams. This weight, substantial by modern standards, contributed to a sturdy feel in hand, often associated with devices featuring physical keyboards. The standout feature of its design was the QWERTY keyboard, which slid out to enhance productivity and text input accuracy—making it a compelling choice for users who still preferred physical keyboards over virtual ones. Its black color scheme presented a professional aesthetic that catered to both personal and professional use.
