Design and Build
The NEC N22i presents a compact and robust design, measuring 101 x 48 x 27 mm, and weighing just 110 grams. This makes it relatively easy to handle and portable, an important factor for users in the early 2000s. It employs a Mini-SIM, which was standard for phones of that generation. The phone's silver finish and compact form factor further add to its appeal, giving it a sleek look that was popular during its launch.
