It features a squared shape and has an aluminum body complete with a pebbled texture made from vegan leather covering on top. Another accent is highlighted by an orange tag made from a nylon weave that is also the SIM card tray pull. The folded structure has [two notable modes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-phone) including a smartphone when it is opened up and a [minimal phone when it is closed](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lofone). When in its Smartphone mode, it has a larger screen, and when closed, the display switches to the front-facing e-ink on a square base.
