The BenQ-Siemens AL26, unfortunately, never made it to market as its release was canceled. With a thickness of 19.2mm and weighing 80g, it was a compact device.
This feature phone offered 1.5MB of internal storage but lacked a card slot for expandable memory. The 130×130 pixel TFT display with 65K colors provided a basic viewing experience.
Equipped with a 600mAh removable Li-Ion battery, the AL26 offered up to 5 hours of talk time. However, it lacked modern features like a camera, loudspeaker, or Bluetooth connectivity.
This GSM device, announced in August 2006, supported 2G bands but did not have 3G or 4G capabilities. The cancellation of the AL26 may have disappointed users looking for a budget-friendly, no-frills phone back in the day.
