Design and Build
The Motorola A835 possessed a design typical of early 2000s mobile phones, featuring dimensions of 135 x 58.2 x 24.2 mm and a weight of 157 grams. It had a bulky and sturdy build, which reflected the technological constraints and design preferences of that era. The phone used a Mini-SIM format and had a noticeable heft that users of modern smartphones might find surprising.
