The Nokia 2.4 we got on review is the fourth device in the Nokia 2 series of phones started in 2017 and is the only series of Nokia phones that didn’t skip any decimal value, meaning we first had the Nokia 2, then the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 2.2, Nokia 2.3 and now we have the Nokia 2.4.
Probably the most important differentiating factor of Nokia devices in the budget segment is the promise of 2 Android upgrades, 3 years of security updates and solid design.
So long as the 215 rides on your local carrier, this phone is a no-brainer if all you need is to make calls.ĬNET Senior editor Andrew Hoyle contributed to this review.One of the key focus areas of Nokia Mobile is providing great value for money in the budget device segment. This phone certainly fits that mold.Īlthough it costs a little more than 2013's Nokia 105, the 215 comes with a camera and a larger screen, plus a few extra conveniences like that Opera browser and FM radio. Before Microsoft bought its devices business, Nokia was making a name for itself as the lowest-cost phones per category. It offers a good haul of features for the price, which also happens to be one of the lowest you can pay for a phone anywhere in the world. If you think you'd use it, go ahead get the Nokia 215. Calls to both landlines and mobile phones connected without any trouble and were reasonably clear - certainly on par with what we expect from any other phone, smart or otherwise. We tested the 215 for call quality from our London office on the Vodafone network, which supports the 900/1,800 bands used by the 215. The Nokia 215 has a removable battery and a microSD card slot. The phone takes a mini SIM, which is a little deceiving since it's two sizes larger than the micro and nano SIMs we're mostly seeing in phones today. Parts of Europe and the Middle East, Africa and Asia, and pockets of Latin America do operate on 900/1,800, but you won't be able to use the 215 in North America, for instance. Before you buy, check first to make sure that your country and carrier supports these frequencies. First, this 2G handset uses the GSM technology and works only on the 900 and 1,800MHz bands. Wheeling and dealing in phone calls is the only reason that the Nokia 215 gets up in the morning, but there are a few things to know before you buy. Of course, the more you tax the phone with tasks, the quicker you'll drain the battery, so keep in mind that these numbers represent the best case scenario. That'll get you up to 29 days of standby time on a single charge, which is huge. So how about battery life? The 215 has a rated talk time of up to 20 hours over 2G, and up to 50 hours of music playback on its 1,100mAh removable battery. It's rare to find a handset at this price, let alone one with a camera.
