We thought we had seen the last of the Nokia mobile phones, although Microsoft has just unveiled a new one, the Nokia 216.
The Nokia 216 is a dual SIM mobile phone that comes with a 2.4 inch QVGA display. It has a 0.3 megapixel VGA camera on the front and also one on the back.
Features and Specifications
The new Nokia 216 combines great entertainment features and modern online experiences with an instantly recognizable and familiar user experience. The 2.4″ screen is great for internet browsing, taking and viewing pictures, playing videos, and gaming. The phone supports up to 32GB of external storage via a microSD card, which is quite generous for a feature phone. This allows users to store a significant amount of media and apps.
In terms of connectivity, the Nokia 216 includes Bluetooth 3.0 with SLAM, which allows for quick and easy sharing of files between devices. The phone also features an FM radio and MP3 and video player, making it a versatile device for entertainment on the go. The battery life is another strong point, with up to 18 hours of talk time and up to 24 days of standby time, ensuring that users can stay connected without frequent recharges.
Design and Usability
The Nokia 216 maintains the classic Nokia design, which is both durable and user-friendly. The physical keypad is easy to use, even for those who are not accustomed to touchscreen devices. The phone’s body is made of polycarbonate, which is known for its durability and resistance to scratches and impacts. This makes the Nokia 216 a reliable choice for users who need a robust phone for everyday use.
The dual SIM capability is particularly useful for people who travel frequently or need to manage two different phone numbers, such as one for personal use and one for work. This feature allows users to switch between networks easily and take advantage of different data plans and coverage areas.
The VGA cameras, while not high-resolution by modern smartphone standards, are sufficient for basic photography needs. They can capture moments and allow for video calls, which is a valuable feature for staying in touch with friends and family.

This affordable price point makes the Nokia 216 an attractive option for those looking for a reliable secondary phone or a primary device for basic communication and entertainment needs.
