Display
The display of the Nokia E51 utilizes a 2.0-inch TFT screen capable of showcasing 16 million colors. This may not compare to modern smartphones with large, high-resolution screens, but the 240 x 320 pixel resolution with approximately 200 ppi density was sharp enough for the phone's intended tasks, primarily reading emails and messages. Navigation is carried out through a five-way scroll key, which was intuitive and responsive enough for quick access to the phone's features.
