Display
Equipped with a monochrome graphic display, the Siemens SL42 offers a 1.5-inch screen with a resolution of 101 x 80 pixels. While this might seem basic by today’s standards, it was quite adequate for simple text and menu navigation of the time. The small display, roughly comprising 14.6% of the screen-to-body ratio, was clear enough for reading and sending SMS messages, which was the staple of communication then.
