Design and Build
The i-mate SP3 sports a compact and robust design, measuring 107.5 x 46.2 x 17 mm and weighing 106.3 grams. This size was typical for early smartphones, offering good portability without feeling overly bulky. The phone's aesthetics were enhanced by its "Cool Metallic" and "Light Blue" color options. Its body houses a Mini-SIM slot, and its design features a prominent 5-way navigation button, which was central to user interaction before touchscreens became predominant.
