Design and Display
The Nokia Asha 203 features a compact body with dimensions of 114.8 x 49.8 x 13.9 mm, which allows it to fit comfortably in the hand. Weighing only 90 grams, it is incredibly lightweight, making it easily portable. The phone adopts a Mini-SIM format, a common choice for devices at the time. The design does not sacrifice build quality, offering a solid feel despite its plastic construction.
The Asha 203 is equipped with a 2.4-inch TFT resistive touchscreen. While the resistive technology may feel dated by modern standards, it was quite standard at the time, providing basic touch inputs sufficient for the device’s intended functions. With a screen resolution of 240 x 320 pixels at a density of approximately 167 ppi, the display is clear enough for reading messages and navigating the menu, although it won't impress those accustomed to high-definition quality.
