Display
The phone's primary display is a CSTN screen capable of displaying 65,000 colors, with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. While this may seem limited by today’s standards, it was adequate at the time for basic tasks like reading messages and viewing simple graphics. In addition, the NEC N342i has a secondary external monochrome display (STN) with a resolution of 96 x 64 pixels, which serves as a handy feature for quick checks of time or notifications without having to open the phone.
