Low screen/front-size ratio, big fonts to compensate low resolution, flat UI and "clever" menu layout to compensate low contrast. Consumer expectations are high these days...

...for high-end phones.

For a $99 `feature phone' expectations are commensurately lower; I don't think anyone would buy this phone expecting something that's equivalent to an iPhone 5 or a Galaxy S4. They'll buy it because it's cheap, cute, does everything they want, and it has great battery-life.
