Design and Build
The NEC DB4000 sports a compact and utilitarian design with dimensions of 120 x 42 x 22 mm, translating to a sleek yet thick form factor compared to modern standards. Weighing in at 99 grams, the phone is fairly lightweight, making it easy to carry around in pockets or bags without feeling cumbersome. The chassis, constructed in a metallic finish, delivers a modest yet professional appearance. It uses a Mini-SIM card, typical of phones during that era, which contrasts sharply with the nano-SIMs prevalent today.
