Not so long ago, phones sold under the Nokia brand were in high demand. They were deservedly called the best, as they were distinguished by a high level of quality and battery life. But time does not stand still. Every year, many new models appear on the market, which are equipped with innovative technologies. The Finnish company, in an effort to follow fashion and save on production costs, has gradually reduced its turnover, losing its leading position to other brands such as Apple, Samsung and others. It is worth noting that even smartphones from Chinese manufacturers have become more attractive to buyers.

Finding a phone currently sold under the Nokia brand is quite difficult, since the company is now under the leadership of Microsoft. But in 2015, the new Nokia 222 model goes on sale. Specifications, reviews and description can be found below. The telephone is a typical push-button device. What technologies did the developers use? Is there anything interesting in it? Does it meet modern requirements? These questions are often asked by buyers who are looking for a new mobile phone. The answers to them are contained in the article.

Model release

By the time this model was released, Microsoft had already acquired Nokia's assets. However, she did not completely abandon the old brand name, using it for classic devices. As a rule, in their development, preference was given to proven technologies.

The Nokia 222 phone was produced in two versions. The first one is classic. It is a typical monoblock with a keypad. The model is designed to work with one SIM-card. The second option looks no different from the first. The form factor corresponds to the classic design. The only thing is that it has two slots for sim-cards. The manufacturer called this model Nokia 222 Dual Sim.

The devices received an updated operating system that allows you to work with a wide range of different programs. The color screen and comfortable keyboard block are undoubtedly an advantage. The target audience is children and the elderly. Also, this model is purchased as a second phone, as it is simple and of high quality.

Assembly is made in Vietnam. Such news will please those who have a negative attitude towards products from the Middle Kingdom.

Design

Externally, the phone looks pretty nice. It is presented in stores in two classic colors - white and black. Lightweight - the weight is only 80 g, the dimensions are optimal (116×50×13 mm). According to the instructions, such dimensions correspond to both a simple model with an index of 222, and a two-sim model - Nokia 222 Dual Sim. Thanks to this, the phone lies perfectly in the hand, does not slip. In the model range there are options with a matte and glossy body. The latter are marked with the prefix Rome.

The front panel is visually divided into two halves. In the upper part there is a screen, a speaker. The bottom is completely reserved for the keyboard unit. Under the "0" key, a hole for the microphone is displayed.

The back panel is decorated in a simple style. There are no extra details here. The brand name is printed horizontally in the middle of the lid. At the top is the lens, and below it is the output speaker.

Keyboard

The button block deserves special attention. It has an almost square shape. All buttons, except for the central one (joystick), are oval, the same size. This gives a special style. The numbers are large, clearly visible even to people with poor eyesight. Soft keys and call accept/reject buttons are arranged in pairs under each other. How to set up quick access to applications in Nokia 222? The manual will provide answers to these questions. According to the information contained in it, individual settings are provided for the soft keys and arrows of the joystick. Each user can, depending on personal preferences, change the purpose of these buttons.

As for the digital block, the owners have no comments on it. The location of the buttons is isolated from each other. Thanks to this, a clear relief appears, which makes it possible to clearly distinguish the rows. Therefore, the phone is suitable for those who are used to typing, as they say, blindly.

"Nokia 222": specifications, screen reviews

Looking at a mobile phone, you can not remain silent about the screen. Its diagonal is only 2.4ʺ. When compared with smartphones, this size will seem ridiculous. But for a typical push-button phone, these are quite acceptable characteristics. Display type - LCD Transmissive, equipped with a TFT matrix. The resolution is small - 320 × 240 px. The image is not very clear as the number of pixels is only 167 ppi. But users have no complaints about the transfer of colors, they are all displayed as realistically and saturated as possible. Viewing angles are good. In bright sunlight, the screen fades a little, but the information remains readable.

Camera

Many buyers are interested in what technical characteristics does the camera in Nokia 222 have? The online reviews are not encouraging. The matrix is ​​​​only 2 megapixels. Currently, this resolution is quite small. With its help it is difficult to take a really high-quality photo. However, if you need to quickly capture some moment (in haste), then this will be quite enough. The use of the camera is complicated by the absence of a flash. But to improve the quality, the developers used a 2X digital zoom.

The unit can also record movies. The allowed maximum resolution is 320×240 px. Shooting is carried out at a speed of 15 frames per second.

Battery

What points should you pay attention to when choosing a phone like the Nokia 222? Specifications, reviews and, of course, battery life! Previously, the devices of this brand had the title of centenarians, and it was well deserved. But will the new model be able to boast of high performance?

The phone is equipped with a BL-5C lithium-ion battery. Its capacity is 1100 mAh. For a push-button device with a weak screen, this is quite enough. This model can be actively used for 20 hours, not only for making calls, but also for listening to music, watching videos, completing levels in your favorite game. The manufacturer claims that in standby mode, a simple model will work for about one month, and one that provides support for two SIM cards - within 20 days.

The owners say that they have to charge the phone no more than once every three days. According to these data, the device is a worthy follower of the legendary Nokia models.

Applications

This model cannot be called a simple "dialer", as it has advanced functionality. The manufacturer used the Series 30+ platform, which is compatible with a large number of applications. Programs for Nokia 222 are downloaded and installed without problems. They work well, no hangups. The device has a built-in player for playing music tracks. In its menu there is an equalizer that allows you to save individual settings. Also in the phone, the user will find a program for viewing videos.

The manufacturer provided the ability to access the Internet by embedding the Opera Mini browser. Owners have access to a number of popular applications, such as social networks, weather and others.

Gamers will be interested in what is offered in the standard "stuffing". The manufacturer has entered into an agreement according to which the user has the right to download free games from the Gameloft service for one year. The only limitation is that you can only install one game per month.

Memory

Even the simplest phone, which will only be used for calls, must have sufficient memory. After all, each person will want to install a few favorite music tracks in order to listen to them on the way to work. The model with index 222 will surprise the owners with the amount of memory. Although the built-in is only 16 MB, the manufacturer has provided a slot for removable media. The Nokia 222 memory card must be in micro-SD format. The maximum allowable volume is up to 32 GB. The user can fill the storage with music, games, photos, videos.

    I bought it yesterday, I was afraid that the gloss would be slippery in my hand like a bar of soap, my fears were dispelled, the only thing that the prints remain visible is not critical for me, in half a year I think it will be matte;) The buttons are also with a glossy finish but rubber. An MP3 player without an equalizer, the quality of music in the headphones is good for me, the sound quality of the speaker is also acceptable, the volume is enough. I set up the Internet manually, there is a built-in opera, but I could not install a mobile mailru agent, the application, if it is possible to download it, is only paid through the store. melkosofta, while I deal with this issue. There are no questions about the quality of the connection, I needed a two-sim dialer at an affordable price, which I wouldn’t feel sorry for at work if something was damaged, and most importantly it’s a flashlight)).

    The overall impression of the case is the real Chinese. In addition, it is still all glossy, so it blurs a lot and you can’t even put it on the table in front of you, for aesthetic reasons.
    The back cover is made in such a way that even with a light fall, three parts - the phone, the cover and the battery - scatter in different directions.
    The general impression of the "Series 30+" system is the term paper of a third-year student. The main jamb - the mass transfer of contacts is possible only by copying from a SIM card, or via bluetooth from another Nokia (possibly other phones that support this protocol). And this is in 2015! That is, in order to transfer contacts, I found an old Nokia, synchronized it with Google Contacts, then synchronized it with a new Nokia.

    The model is terrible. Nothing to do with NOKIA. The plastic is cheap, the case cannot be opened without breaking the nails. Menu, like cheap phones from the 90s. The Internet is practically unavailable, SMS opens for a long time and painfully. After a year of careful use, 5-6 calls a day, glitched. I think forever, the buttons do not respond to pressure. It's embarrassing to repair. Like a cheap Chinese model. doesn't even reach 1.

Not so long ago, any device under the Nokia brand inspired confidence and delight. But, like for many contemporaries of this company, the pursuit of fashion and saving on vital elements of devices brought the brand's rating to the very bottom. Nokia was resold to other owners, but this did little to improve the fortunes of the once popular firm. Now smartphones with this name are not produced.

However, not so long ago, a regular mobile phone called "Nokia 222" was introduced, the price of which is below 40 US dollars. This phone fell in love with all connoisseurs of the classics. Of course, this is not the budget smartphone that we are so used to. However, there is something about this device that will make you think about purchasing it.

Design

About "Nokia 222" characteristics, reviews are quite unambiguous - an ideal device for calls and SMS. A high-quality case that is not afraid to lie in your pocket with small change or fall flat on the ground. Of course, scratches cannot be avoided from such frauds, but you don’t have to worry about the device’s performance.

As usual, the company offers to buy Nokia 222 in several colors - white and black. If the second option is monotonous, then the white phone has a black frame around the display on the front panel. But this is rather an advantage, since visually the phone looks quite stylish and interesting. By the way, white color does not collect fingerprints.

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

On the back cover of the Nokia 222 phone there is a speaker grill and a camera. The logo itself flaunts in the center. Everything is very restrained and stylish. In a word - the Nokian classic.

Connectors

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

Models

In fact, this model came out 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 a great solution for those who always want to stay in touch and not carry multiple devices. But there is also a drawback. Unfortunately, in 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" characteristics, reviews and reviews of which flooded the Internet, is made in Vietnam. Those who do not like technology from China will be delighted with this news. It is curious that even replacement parts are supplied from Vietnam, although the repair of the device is a rare phenomenon.

Dimensions

The device is classic for Nokia. Standard monoblock with 2.4-inch display. It is noteworthy that the developers took care of a good resolution - 320 by 240 pixels. The screen is capable of producing up to 65 thousand colors, because there are 167 pixels per inch.

In terms of 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 both in a simple model and with support for two SIM cards.

Battery

The brightest "Nokia 222" characteristics (reviews confirm this) is the presence of a lithium-ion battery. Not only is it a BL-5C class, it also has a capacity of about 1100 mAh. To put it simply, in 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, right?

Memory

Even if you need a device solely for calls, it's nice to know that the developers made sure that the device supports a memory card up to 32 gigabytes, on which, if necessary, you can download your favorite music and listen to it on the way to work.

The phone was also not deprived of native memory. Although 19 megabytes cannot be called a chic volume, several tracks and a rather spacious phone book are the minimum necessary for a modern person.

Games

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

Applications

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

In "Nokia 222" technical characteristics allowed to enter a number of applications specially adapted for Nokia Series 30+ - the operating system of this device. Among them are the beloved Opera Mini browser, weather applications and several popular social networks, and the Bing search engine.

Sound

The call of the device is polyphonic. But that doesn't stop you from playing your favorite music. By the way, the phone is "friendly" with the most popular formats - MP3, AAC and, of course, MIDI. Therefore, some craftsmen have learned how to install interesting players and are very proud that the phone has such an opportunity.

If you focus on what they say about the "Nokia 222" characteristics, reviews, the phone is quite loud, but with a somewhat "barrel" sound.

Camera

Considering the Nokia 222 cameras characteristics, user reviews justify themselves. Only 2 megapixels! For a modern person, such indicators are nothing. Nevertheless, if an elderly person buys a phone, then the camera is unlikely to be useful to him, but for the rest it is a dialer with advanced features, remember? For a few urgent shots, this will be enough.

Nice bonuses

The rest, average in quality, but surprising in relation to the price of the device, include the following features:

  • Bluetooth 3.0 Such an addition will allow you to use a bluetooth headset and transfer files to others at a fairly good speed.
  • FM radio. Headphones act as an antenna.
  • Possibility 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.

Summing up

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

Aspects against the purchase include the following points:

  • Weak operating system. Many reviews claim that the system is inferior to the previous one.
  • Little native memory. Yes, 19 megabytes is not what you expect to see in a phone in our age.
  • SIM card size is standard. Most modern smartphones and phones support micro-SIM devices, so you will either have to look for an adapter or change cards altogether.
  • No wifi module. Like it or not, wireless Internet access has become something of a must for most users.
  • Small screen.
  • Weak camera of only 2 megapixels and no flash.

But if we analyze that this model is offered exclusively as a phone, and the rest is just additional bonuses, then the disadvantages fade, and the advantages take on a completely different shade:

  • The phone "Nokia 222" price is less than 50 dollars.
  • Sufficiently capacious and autonomous battery.
  • A high-quality browser adapted to the system, without disproportionate pages and poor-quality data display.
  • Support for large memory cards.
  • Little weight. Some have compared it to the weight of an aluminum bumper on an iPhone.
  • Loud speakers, both main and spoken.
  • Impact resistance. No one offers to be a hammer on it, but nothing catastrophic will happen from falling on the asphalt.
  • Readable TFT screen. The colors do not hurt the eyes, and the letters do not look like ugly dots. This is rare for
  • Practicality. The phone is distinguished by its ergonomics, functionality, pleasant in relation to the price, and just easy, pleasantly lies in the hand.

And this is the little 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 no longer the same and the concept has changed. This phone reflects the spirit of the brand - simple, elegant, reliable and, best of all, does not bite the price. Such a device will serve the people with whom it is most necessary to keep in touch - elderly parents and young children. This phone will be no less appropriate for those who share the concepts of entertainment and communication, purchasing a phone and gadgets separately.

Nokia phones are familiar to many of us. It so happened that the era of smartphones took the company out of the game, and for a long time we could either buy Microsoft Lumia, by the way, these were the latest Nokia models, or, more logically, start using an iPhone. With the departure of Nokia, the era of push-button dialers has ended, and now with it, especially in Moscow, you will feel like a dinosaur in the metro that forgot to die out in the previous ice age.
Recall that Nokia sold HMD Global the right to use the trademark in the mobile phone and tablet market for 10 years.

HMD Global was founded in 2016 in Espoo, Finland. The head office of Nokia is also located there. HMD Global declares its intention to bring Nokia-branded cell phones and smartphones back to the market. The CEO of HMD Global is a former Nokia top manager Arto Numella, with former Microsoft managers on staff. However, HDM does not have a manufacturing facility and the phones are manufactured at FIH Mobile's Vietnam plant (owned by Foxconn), which Microsoft sold as part of the deal. All the same, this is the return of only the Nokia name in order to earn on the remnants of its former reputation. The release of the very budget Nokia 150 and the return of the legendary Nokia 3310 also look logical.

Dinosaurs are back

And, nevertheless, when I saw a new phone released under the Nokia brand, I bought it. And now you can find out how these new phones differ from their older counterparts and weigh whether to follow my example.
The phone has a classic layout, a rather thin body (however, it is much thicker than Nokia 2630), it is pleasant enough in the hand and will not bother you in your trouser pocket. If for some reason you need a second phone, then the 222nd will serve faithfully.
In addition, the display is already quite decent, so much so that many menus have been replaced by graphical icons. However, you have the option to revert to the old text menus.

Some changes are purely cosmetic - for example, in a number of modes, the designation above the left functional button has been replaced with an icon (here you need to get used to it), others may seem completely unjustified (for example, the order of pressing keys to lock / unlock the phone keys has been changed - probably the most controversial change). But a good speaker, a large memory card capacity, a 2 MP camera, in general, what was present in prestigious Nokia models, has now migrated to a fairly cheap, budget model. In addition, the phone supports two SIM cards - this allows you to save a little on calls. It has become more convenient to view messages. Now it is possible to do this with locked keys.

There are quite a lot of Internet functions among the highlighted top-level functions: Opera mini, Facebook, Weather, Bing, Mobile Store. Nobody will use them if at least a smartphone is at hand, but somewhere in the forest, picking mushrooms - why not. In any case, you can even watch a clip from YOUTUBE - and the display allows and the video is played quite well.

It is difficult to say how things will go for Nokia in the future, but there is certainly a need for a device with a long battery life before recharging, light, well-made by a well-known company, performing a large number of useful functions with sufficient quality and not too expensive, of course. Have these goals been achieved in our case? I'm afraid not completely. But let's leave a detailed analysis of all the pros and cons to the discussion, but for now let's get acquainted with a small instruction.

Beginning of work.

First of all, we note that the phone supports two SIM cards of a standard size. Do not use micro sims - this may cause them to break. I advise you to immediately purchase a memory card (MicroCD standard). The internal memory of the phone is only 992kb (RAM - 16Mb, but the main place is reserved for the operating system), so you can use many phone functions only if you buy an additional memory card. Cards up to 32 gigabytes are supported. Old Nokia phones used card attachment systems of varying degrees of inconvenience. In 222 models, everything is quite conveniently inserted, and the back cover can be easily removed.

Note:
Before removing the panels, you must turn off the power to the device and
disconnect the charger and other devices. When replacing panels, do not touch
electronic components.

After assembling the phone, you need to turn it on. The operation is familiar to fans of push-button phones. You press the power key until the phone's screen lights up. If you have PIN passwords on your SIM cards, the system will ask you to enter them. At the same time, if you forgot one of the passwords, then you will not be able to turn on the phone, although it would be logical to turn on the SIM cards separately.
When you turn on the phone for the first time or after disconnecting the battery, the phone asks you to set the date and time. Setting the date and time pleased me with its elegance. But more on that later.

Let's get to know the phone better.

1 phone speaker
2 Function selection keys
3 On/off and end key
4 Microphone

Please note that this model has a microphone hole on the front side. And it is quite small. Dust can easily get stuck in it and significantly degrade the sensitivity of the microphone! In most older Nokia models, the microphone was on the bottom - the hole was not clogged. Of course, one cannot dream of noise suppression and a second microphone.

Lock or unlock the phone keys

If you have just started using your phone, it is possible that its keys will be blocked even before you start reading this manual.

Unlock

Press the power button (3) twice. On the first press, the current time will appear, and the second field will prompt you to unlock the keys.

Blocking an unwanted number

Sometimes you want to block a number that receives spam calls. For example, by calling +74951375260, a robot regularly offers me legal assistance. Even in the toilet.
It is not sad, but first you need to remember this number in the phone book if you do not want to remember it specially. Then I proceed according to the following instructions:

How to block a number

  • 1. Remember the number in the phone book
  • 2. Go to "Contacts" and find this contact there
  • 3. Select a contact and press Options (left key)
  • 4. Find the item "To filter list"
  • 5. Add the number to the banned list - Yes.
After that, the number is added to the banned list.
You can work with the banned list if you select the "Number filtering" function in the "Contacts" menu. A list of blocked numbers will appear. Here you can allow the number to be called or add the number to this list (unfortunately, then you have to remember this number - just transferring the number from the call list will not work).

DISCUSSION


The last Nokia phone in my pocket was the Nokia 2630 (except for the Lumia smartphone). This phone has served me faithfully for many years. Not a very large battery with a capacity of 700 mAh, however, allowed me not to worry about charging for a whole week. Now, having bought Nokia 222, I am deprived of such an advantage. And although the battery capacity is increased to 1100 mAh, it lasts for three days. Same with sizes. The thickness has increased from 9.9 mm to 12.9 mm. But the device has a lot of functions that were not previously used in budget options. So, the display of the model is quite large - 2.4 inches (QVGA 320 x 240), 2MP camera, which reminded me of another Nokia model that I had in my hands - Nokia 3500 classic, which at one time was considered a fashion middle-class phone (Wikipedia) . There, with the same 2 megapixel camera, the display was TFT with a diagonal of 1.8 inches with a resolution of 128x160 pixels. And the SD card was only 2 GB. The main pleasant change has occurred with the cost. For previous models, I gave more than $100, and Nokia 222 will cost you $40-50.

New opportunities

You certainly do not expect that you will be able to fully use the Internet, watch videos or take photos with such a device. However, all this can be done, but typing is a slightly strange trick that we have already completely forgotten in the era of smartphones. All the same, the main function here is calls. And at such a cost of the device, it is not a pity to take it on the most risky journey. That's why, for example, the device is popular in India - and it's easy and cheap to wear.

As for photos, the camera has a fixed focus, but the quality of the shots is quite good. This camera is always at your fingertips.
We were pleasantly surprised by the menus that are used when setting, for example, the date. Very stylish. You can feel the influence of Microsoft's experience in programming interfaces.

The same can be said about the design of messages. It is made stylishly and resembles the modern design of chats in social networks. In addition, a customizable function for increasing the text size is implemented - our parents will love it.

Yes, I almost forgot! Two SIM cards are convenient, but require adjustment in call modes and when using the Internet.

New disadvantages

  • For each contact, you can enter only 1 phone number. You can attach a photo to a contact - this is convenient, but the information field is too small (15 characters). This is done to increase the capacity of the contact book.
  • You cannot synchronize your phone with a PC and other devices, that is, you cannot copy contacts and entries from your phone to your PC and vice versa. You can, of course, copy contacts to a SIM card or transfer them to another phone using the SLAM function.
  • It is not possible to insert graphic emoticons in the message.

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

Liked

  • Large screen that even allows you to watch videos
  • The presence of a flashlight
  • Good quality external speaker
  • 2 SIM cards
  • Great loud ringtone

Did not like

  • The quality of the microphone - the connection is unstable. However, this may be a defect of this phone or even a mobile operator.
  • As tests have shown, a lot depends on how you hold the phone. If you touch the lower part - there is a microphone, then the noise from rubbing the hand against the body is very audible. These level noises can even overwhelm the voice. Of course, this was not the case in old Nokia models!

  • No more than 1 phone number can be assigned to one contact
  • The field for entering contact data is very small
  • No support for Java applications (but this provides protection - only certified applications can be downloaded)
  • Not a very long period between recharges (about 4 days with not very intensive conversations)
  • No call recording feature
