Nokia 222 Specs & Price

The Nokia 222 is a new device that seems to point to the fact that, while Microsoft is struggling to increase the share of mobile smartphones running its Windows OS, the American company is still interested in maintaining presence in the feature phone market – one in which its acquisition Nokia used to reign supreme years ago. The affordable device, which has a dual-SIM variant, features basically anything you can want in one intended to serve as backup to your feature-rich, battery-sapping smartphone.

Design and Display

This dirt-cheap phone features the familiar candy-bar design of the Nokia devices of yore, complete with a physical keypad for number and text input. It measures 116 x 50 x 12.9 millimetres and weighs just 79 grams to make it very easy to conceal.

The Nokia 222 sports a tiny 2.4-inch display with a QVGA resolution of 120 x 160 pixels. It promises decent clarity, by feature phone standard.

Camera and Storage

The Nokia 222 is equipped with a 2-megapixel rear-facing camera. This one is definitely not an ideal device to rely on for your regular photography needs, but for those occasional odd shots.

Being a feature phone, the onboard storage is not worth focusing attention on. It supports the use of a microSD card with capacity of up to 32 GB.

Miscellaneous Specs and features

The popular Nokia Series 30+ feature phone operating system sees to business on this device. The Nokia 222 comes bundled with a number of applications, including Opera Mini, Facebook and Twitter.

It has juice supplied to it by a 1100mAh BL-5C battery which many will describe as measly based on what we see these days, but one needs to remember this is just a feature phone.

That juicer is, in fact, powerful as it is able to provide up to 20 hours of talk time, according to Microsoft. The single-SIM variant of Nokia 222 promises up to 29 hours of standby time, while the dual-SIM version offers up to 21 days.
