Display
Equipped with a 1.9-inch TFT display, the NEC N500i displays up to 65K colors with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels. This modest screen size and pixel density of around 148 ppi are typical of the period, providing clear enough images for basic tasks. An additional highlight is the secondary external display, an OLED panel with support for 4096 colors, offering quick access to notifications and some user functions when the phone is closed.
