Motorola StarTAC 130 Design and Build

Design and Build

With dimensions of 94 x 55 x 19 mm and a weight of just 95 grams, the Motorola StarTAC 130 was considered incredibly compact and lightweight for its time. Its sturdy body could withstand daily wear and tear, something quite desirable in the pre-smartphone era. The iconic clamshell design not only provided an elegant aesthetic but also protected the keypad, which was a novelty that contributed significantly to its popularity.
