Design and Display
The ZTE Sonata 2 features modest dimensions of 125 x 63.8 x 11.4 mm, making it a compact device that easily fits into one hand or slides into a pocket. The phone has a micro-SIM card slot, which was standard for its time. While the phone's weight is unspecified, its plastic build suggests a lightweight experience that adds to the device's portability.
The handset is equipped with a 4.0-inch TFT display, featuring a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. Although the screen-to-body ratio is approximately 57.1%, which results in noticeable bezels, the pixel density of ~233 ppi offers acceptable clarity for basic tasks. Additionally, the display is protected by Asahi Dragontrail Glass, adding a level of resistance against minor scratches and everyday use.
