Display
The phone features a 65K color display, which, by today's standards, offers modest color depth and clarity. The main screen measures 1.9 inches with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels, translating into a pixel density of around 148 ppi. This gives it a basic visual output that served well for simple tasks like calling and texting. Additionally, the NEC N401i includes a secondary external LCD screen capable of displaying 4096 colors, useful for quickly viewing notifications without opening the handset.
