Introduction
The NEC N160 is a relic from an era when mobile phones were transitioning from mere communication devices to personal digital assistants with enhanced multimedia capabilities. Announced in the fourth quarter of 2004, the N160 represents the mid-2000s' attempts to blend practical features suitable for daily use with a more contemporary aesthetic and function. Although discontinued now, the phone offered a specific set of characteristics that appealed to users of that time, focusing on basic functionality packaged in a compact and lightweight design.
