Design and Build
The ZTE N290 presents a straightforward design typical of early 2010 smartphones. With dimensions of 112 x 55 x 13 mm, it maintains a compact form factor that fits comfortably in one hand. Weighing in at 106 grams, it is lightweight and easy to carry around, although it lacks the modern ergonomic curves found in more recent devices. The phone body accommodates a Mini-SIM and exhibits a somewhat utilitarian aesthetic in its black color variant.
