"Nokia 222": characteristics, reviews. Mobile phone Nokia 222

Not so long ago, any device under the brand "Nokia" caused confidence and delight. But, as for many contemporaries of this company, the pursuit of fashion and saving on vital elements of devices led the brand's rating to the very bottom. "Nokia" resold to other owners, but this did not improve the condition of the once popular firm. Now smartphones with this name are not released.

Nevertheless, not so long ago, a regular mobile phone called "Nokia 222" was presented, the price of which is below $ 40. This phone has fallen in love with all the connoisseurs of the classics. Of course, this is not a budget smartphone, which we are so used to. Nevertheless, there is in this device that will make you think about its acquisition.

Design

About "Nokia 222" specifications, reviews are pretty straightforward - the ideal device for calls and sms. A quality housing that is not afraid to lie in a pocket with a small change or fall flat on the ground flat. Of course, scratches can not be avoided from such machinations, but you will not have to worry about the device's performance.

As usual, the company offers to purchase the Nokia 222 in several color variations - white and black. If the second option is monotonous, then the white phone has a black border around the display on the front panel. But it's more of a dignity, because visually the phone looks pretty stylish and interesting. By the way, white color does not collect fingerprints.

Large, comfortable keys will not only taste elderly people. Those who like to type the text "in the blind" will appreciate the softness of pressing the keys and their relief.

On the back cover of the Nokia 222 is a grille for the speaker and camera. The logo itself flaunts in the center. Everything is very reserved and stylish. In a word - Nokiev's classics.

Connectors

At the top there is a diode flashlight of medium power. There you can find a standard headphone jack or headset. I'm glad that the device is suitable accessories with a classic plug. On the other side of the flashlight, it's easy to find a standard micro-USB port for charging the device and connecting it to a computer.

Models

In fact, this model came in two variations. One of them is "Nokia 222 Dual Sim", the other is just 222. What are their differences? The name of the first speaks for itself - two SIM cards. This is undoubtedly an excellent solution for those who always want to stay in touch and not carry several devices at the same time. But there is a drawback. Unfortunately, in the talk mode, the second card becomes unavailable. But this, alas, is part of almost every modern mobile device. According to the inscription under the battery, "Nokia 222" features, reviews and reviews on which the Internet has flooded, is done in Vietnam. Those who do not like technology from China will be delighted with this news. It is curious that even the replacement parts are supplied from Vietnam, although the repair of the device is a rare phenomenon.

Dimensions

The device is classic for Nokia. Standard candy bar with 2.4-inch display. It is noteworthy that the developers took care of a good resolution - 320 by 240 pixels. The screen can produce up to 65 thousand colors, because one inch is 167 pixels.

As for weight, the phone with the battery weighs less than 80 grams. And this despite the fact that its dimensions are 116 by 50 by 12.9 millimeters. Such indicators are identical in both a simple model and with support for two SIM cards.

Battery

The brightest "Nokia 222" specifications (reviews confirm this) is the presence of a lithium-ion battery. Not only does it have the class BL-5C, but also the capacity of about 1100 mAh. To put it more simply, in a constant load mode the device is able to work autonomously for at least 20 hours. In standby mode, a simple model will hold a charge for about a month, and "Duo Sim" - 20 days. Not bad for a simple "dialer", is not it?

Memory

Even if you only need a device for making calls, it's nice to realize that the developers have made sure that the device supports a memory card up to 32 gigabytes in size, which you can load your favorite music if you need it and listen to it on the way to work.

The phone was not deprived of its own memory. Although 19 megabytes of gorgeous volume can not be called, several tracks and a fairly spacious phone book - a minimum for a modern person.

Games

About the game for "Nokia 222" is worth mentioning separately. Of course, the Internet is full of sites with various toys and programs for any device, but "Nokia" signed a contract, according to which, by purchasing a mobile phone "Nokia 222", you automatically get the opportunity to download one free game from Gameloft per month. You can use this service for a year, then the games become paid.

Apps

It's not just a phone. The manufacturers themselves have repeatedly stressed that it has a number of advanced features, namely free Internet access.

In the "Nokia 222" specifications allowed to write a number of applications specifically adapted for Nokia Series 30+ - the operating system of this device. Among them is the browser "Opera Mini", a weather app and several popular social networks and the search engine "Bing".

Sound

The call at the device is polyphonic. But this does not prevent you from putting your favorite music on the challenge. By the way, the phone is "friendly" with the most popular formats - MP3, AAC and, of course, MIDI. Therefore, some craftsmen learned to install interesting players and are very proud that the phone has such an opportunity.

If you focus on what is said about "Nokia 222" specifications, reviews, the phone is quite loud, but with a somewhat "barrel-shaped" sound.

Camera

Considering the camera "Nokia 222" specifications, user feedback justifies itself. Only 2 megapixels! For a modern person, such indicators are nothing. Nevertheless, if the phone is purchased by an elderly person, then the camera is unlikely to come in handy, but for the others it's a dialer with advanced features, remember? For several urgent shots, this will be quite enough.

Pleasant bonuses

To the rest, medium in quality, but surprising in relation to the price of the device, the capabilities include:

• Bluetooth 3.0. This addition will allow you to use the Bluetooth headset and transfer files to other files at a fairly good speed.
• FM radio. Headphones are used as antenna.
• The ability to flash the device. Surprisingly, modern craftsmen already today offer several interesting options to change not only the design of the menu or screen, but also completely change the firmware.

Let's sum up the results

Of course, when deciding to purchase a Nokia 222 phone, the characteristics, user reviews should interest you, they play one of the decisive roles. Let's try to put everything in order.

Among the aspects against buying are:

• Weak operating system. Many reviews claim that the system is inferior to the previous one.
• Few native memory. Yes, 19 megabytes is not what you expect to see in your phone in this century.
• The size of the SIM card is standard. Most modern smartphones and phones support devices with micro-sim, so you'll either need to look for an adapter, or change cards at all.
• No wi-fi module. Whatever one may say, wireless Internet access has become something mandatory for most users.
• Small screen.
• A weak camera is only 2 megapixels and no flash.

But if you analyze that this model is offered exclusively as a phone, and the rest - it's just additional bonuses, then the flaws fade, and the advantages take on a completely different shade:

• The phone "Nokia 222" price is less than $ 50.
• Sufficiently capacious and autonomous battery.
• A quality browser, adapted for the system, without disproportionate pages and poor-quality data reflection.
• Support for large memory cards.
• Little weight. Some compared it to the weight of an aluminum bumper on an iPhone.
• Loud speakers, both basic and spoken.
• Shock resistance. Nobody proposes to be a hammer on it, but from falling to asphalt nothing catastrophic will happen.
• Readable TFT-screen. Colors do not cut eyes, and letters do not look ugly points. This is a rarity for push-button phones.
• Practicality. The phone differs in its ergonomics, pleasant in its ratio to the price of the functional and is simply easy, it lies in your hand.

And this is the little thing that causes admiration from this model. Each of the shortcomings is justified by the low cost of the device and its purpose - calls and messages. Let "Nokia" is not the same and the concept changed. This phone reflects the spirit of the brand - simply, elegantly, reliably and, most pleasantly, does not bite at the price. Such a device will serve long service to people with whom to keep the connection the most necessary - to elderly parents and young children. No less appropriate, this phone will be for those who share the concept of entertainment and communication, buying a phone and gadgets separately.
