Display
The phone is equipped with a 1.8-inch TFT display capable of showcasing 65K colors. With a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and a screen-to-body ratio of approximately 20.1%, the ZTE R221's display is functional, providing enough clarity for basic navigation and usage, albeit far from the high-resolution screens modern users are accustomed to. The pixel density of about 114 ppi means that while it may lack the sharpness and vividness found in modern screens, the display is sufficient for the phone's intended use of text messaging and calls.
