O2 XDA Argon Design and Display

Design and Display

The O2 XDA Argon sports a robust form factor with dimensions of 130 x 70 x 18.8 mm, making it relatively large for its time but manageable considering the tech nested within. Weighing in at 200 grams, the device feels substantial yet not overly cumbersome. It carries a classic silver finish, adding a touch of sophistication. The Argon features a 3.5-inch TFT resistive touchscreen capable of displaying 65,000 colors at a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. Though it may seem modest by today’s standards, this setup was typical at the time, offering users clear visuals with basic touch functionality. The inclusion of handwriting recognition adds an element of novelty, highlighting the experimental approaches to user interaction prevalent during that era.
