Be that as it may, such devices belong to the initial level, so they can not boast of an impressive bundle. Something special on the background of similar devices, unfortunately, does not stand out and a phone like "Nokia 220". The instruction, at the end of which there is a warranty card, and the certificate of conformity is a complete list of the documentation that comes with this gadget. In addition to the mobile phone, the boxed version of the device includes such accessories:

• Adapter with USB-micro output for charging the battery.
• An unpretentious entry-level stereo headset
• Battery with a nominal capacity of 1100 mAh.

The manufacturer clearly decided to save on this mobile phone. There is no usual cord for connecting to a PC. The same situation with an external drive (it is also absent), a protective sticker for the screen and a cover. But if the last three accessories are missing from competitors, then here is a cord of the micro-USB / USB format - an obligatory component of the bundle. In our case, it will have to be bought separately. This, though a trifle, but still the manufacturer could not save on such an important accessory.

Appearance and convenience of work

As with most entry-level devices, the body of this mobile phone is made of plastic with a characteristic matte finish. The quality of its assembly does not cause any complaints. The dimensions of this device are: length - 116.4 mm, width - 50.3 mm, and thickness - 13.2 mm. The weight of the mobile phone is 83.4 grams. In general, it turns out a familiar phone with a keyboard. "Nokia 220", reviews about the design and ergonomics of which are mostly positive, yet much inferior to modern gadgets with numerous built-in functions. However, developers have worked hard on this device, which allows him to compete with the best models of the same manufacturer.

Hardware stuffing and memory

The manufacturer does not specify the type of processor used in Nokia 220.

Reviews The owners of the device say that the level of its performance is acceptable. Problems with the smoothness of the interface and the launch of application software on this device does not arise. Similarly, the capacity of the internal drive is silenced. Drawing an analogy, we can say that its volume is several tens of megabytes. This is clearly not enough for comfortable work. Therefore, without a flash card in this case simply can not do. As noted earlier, it is not included in the package, and it will have to be bought separately for an additional fee. The maximum capacity of an external drive can be 32 GB.

Graphic system and camera

The screen diagonal is 2.4 inches, which fits in harmoniously with a phone such as Nokia 220 DUAL SIM. Reviews Indicate that this is quite enough for convenient and comfortable work on this cellular phone. Its resolution is 240x320 pixels. In turn, the color scale is represented by 262 thousand shades. A lot of questions arise about the camera in this device. It is based on a sensor element in 2 Mp. This is clearly not enough to get high-quality images. There is also no system of image stabilization, autofocus and LED backlighting. Even more problems with video recording. Their resolution corresponds to the screen resolution - 240 by 320 pixels. The image refresh rate is only 15 frames per second. As a result, the video recorded by this mobile phone on other devices is better not to run. The image will consist of squares, and on it it will be impossible to disassemble anything.

Battery

1100 mAh is the nominal battery capacity of the Nokia 220.

Characteristics On its autonomy at an acceptable level. With a mediocre load, a full charge should be enough for 4-5 days. For a device with two SIM cards and a large enough screen - this is an excellent indicator. At maximum load, the battery will last for 2 days. And with minimal use this mobile phone can work a week.

Software

A rather interesting situation is obtained with the software of this device. As the operating system here stands Nokia OS. What is this OS, it's hard to say. But we can assume that this is a modified Symbian 40 system, in which there is full support for java-applications, as a result, the functionality of the device is significantly expanded. Among other important points, you can identify the existence of social applications Facebook and Twitter. Also there is an instant messaging program Yahoo Messenger. But there are no domestic analogs of social services, so reinstalling them in this case will be quite problematic.

Supported Interfaces

This device has a very modest set of interfaces. Among the entire list, we can distinguish the following:

• Stable and reliable operation in GSM networks at once 2 SIM cards. They function in the alternate switching mode. That is, there is only one module in the device, which gradually passes from one network to another and vice versa. During a conversation on one card, the second is outside the access zone. This problem can be solved either by voice mail or by reconfiguring the device's redirection system. The transmission speed of information when connected to the Internet is 85.6 kbps. This is enough only to view Internet resources or communicate in social networks. But the music at this speed will be problematic to download.
• The second important wireless interface is Bluetooth. With it, you can exchange data with similar mobile devices or connect a wireless external speaker system to the device .
• There is also the possibility of connecting to a PC using a micro-USB port. The mobile phone in this case will act as a flash drive. As noted earlier, the connection cable will have to be purchased separately.
• The last important wired interface is a 3.5 mm jack for connecting a wired speaker system.

Real strengths and weaknesses

The opinions of specialists and owners are much the same as for "Nokia 220". Overview of the technical parameters of the phone indicates that this is an entry-level device, and many important points by the developers were released from the view. The camera is very weak, a small amount of internal memory, a non-standard operating system - this is not a complete list of cons of this device. But the pros have such a strong body, high sound quality and degree of autonomy. The price of this device for today is about 40 dollars. For the same money, you can buy an entry-level Chinese smartphone, but its functionality will be an order of magnitude higher.

Summary

A lot of criticism is called "Nokia 220". Reviews Numerous users confirm this once again. Too high cost for this phone, and the level of functionality is clearly not enough to the ideal. The only ones who really will be interested in this device are lovers of button-type devices with a high degree of autonomy. It is on them that this gadget is oriented.
