Nokia 215

The US Company Microsoft seems to have decided to retain the brand to its simplest Nokia smartphones. And so it has proved with the launch of Nokia 215, a new mobile phone with physical keyboard that caters mainly to countries with lower purchasing power. We speak of a terminal that despite so only cost $ 29, includes applications like browser Opera Mini, Facebook, Twitter or even different games. Let’s learn more about this mobile in the following analysis of the Nokia 215.

 Display and Design

 The Nokia 215 comes with a LCD color screen 2.4 inches in size that achieves a resolution QVGA 320 x 240 pixels. We are facing a very simple screen that reaches a pixel density of 166 ppi screen. One of the most important advantages of these screens is that the battery consumption is minimal generating, which may be of interest to those looking for a smartphone with the greatest possible autonomy for easy use.

 The measures of the Nokia 215 are the same as those measures that any mobile pointer Nokia presented five or six years ago and even talked of similar dimensions to those with the Nokia 130, Nokia 220 and Nokia 225 Nokia presented last year 2014. The size of the Nokia 215 is set to 116 x 50 x 12.9 mm, while the weight reaches 78.4 grams.

 The design of this mobile consists of a physical keyboard accompanied by a main button that allows navigation screen (a screen which, remember, is not touch). At the top of the terminal have a flashlight, a headphone jack and microUSB output, while at the rear of the housing we find a main camera, speaker and the Nokia logo.

 The casing of the Nokia 215 is made of polycarbonate and is available in three colors: green, white and black. This color affects the entire housing design mobile, which means that the color you choose will be present in both the front and rear of the terminal. The only thing keeping the same color is the keyboard (in black) and fringe surrounding the screen (also in black).

 Camera and Multimedia

 The Nokia 215 features a single chamber. This is a camera on the back of the phone where we can find a 0.3 megapixel sensor that achieves a digital zoom on pictures up two increases. This camera also records videos with a resolution of 320 x 240 pixels at a speed of 15 frames per second.

 This camera does not incorporate any Flash LED, which is especially curious given that on top of the Nokia 215 can find a flashlight that can be activated at any time from your mobile phone.

 Power and memory

 Nokia does not mention in the data sheet of the Nokia 215 features relating to this mobile processor, but can guess that will be a single processor and designed with the idea of providing a fluid performance for these devices.

 What I mentioned Nokia about performance Nokia 215 is the capacity of the RAM, which is set to 8 megabytes. Internal storage seems necessarily require external memory card as the Nokia 215 supports microSD cards up to 32 gigabytes of capacity. We assume that this phone incorporates a minimum capacity of internal memory that only sufficient to operate the terminal (in fact, Nokia does not refer to data on the capacity of the internal memory), and from there if we store any files we will have to purchase an external memory card.

Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Opera Mini or Twitter is examples of popular applications that incorporate this terminal. Essential and basic applications for mobile operation are also included: Camera, Calendar, Clock, Music or Calendar, among others.
