Design and Build
With dimensions of 117 x 63 x 14 mm, the Huawei U8230 offers a solid and compact feel, though somewhat bulkier than today's standards. The phone incorporates a trackball for navigation, a feature that was quite prevalent in smartphones of that era. Available in classic colors of white and black, the U8230 has a simplistic yet robust design. The device uses a Mini-SIM, which was typical of the time. Owing to its stout design, it probably provided a comfortable grip, and the choice of materials would suggest durability.
