Design and Build
In terms of design, the Motorola E398 is a compact device with dimensions of 108 x 46 x 21 mm and weighs 108 grams. Its moderate size and weight make it quite portable, fitting comfortably into a pocket or being easily held during calls. The design follows the classic candy bar form factor, which was predominant during its era. The device supports a Mini-SIM, consistent with the standard of its time.
The screen of the E398 is a 1.9-inch TFT display capable of showing 65K colors with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. While the screen-to-body ratio is about 22.9%, it provides adequate clarity for viewing messages and game graphics despite its pixel density being lower compared to modern phones.
