Nokia's 225 Dual-SIM Feature Phone Launched In India At Rs 3,199

Sporting a 2.8-inch display and running Nokia's Series 30+ OS, the 225 is your run-of-the-mill feature phone.

 

Finnish smartphone manufacturer Nokia has announced the launch of its 225 Dual SIM feature phone in India at a price of Rs 3,199. Apart from supporting dual SIM cards, the device is identical to the Nokia 225 which was announced in April this year.

 

The 225 Dual SIM sports a 2.8-inch LCD display with QVGA (240x320) resolution and a pixel density of 142ppi. It runs on Nokia's (now Microsoft's) propitiatory Series 30+ operating system that comes pre-installed with Nokia Xpress Browser, featuring Bing search as the default search engine.

 

A 1,200 mAh battery gives the phone a standby time of 648 hours and supposedly delivers 21 hours of talk time. The 225 sports a 2-megapixel camera, standard equipment on a feature phone of its cost. It lacks 3G connectivity, but that's mostly down to the lack of requirement of fast internet on such devices.

 

Apart from this, the phone supports expandable storage of up to 32GB via a microSD card slot. The dimensions of the 225 stand at 124x55.5x10.4mm and the phone weighs in at a just 100.6 grams. It comes pre-installed with a few standard apps such as a voice recorder, calculator, clock, calendar, converter, alarm clock and flashlight.

 

Following the take over of Nokia's devices arm by Microsoft, the fate of the company's feature phones was dubious. However, it wouldn't be too far fetched to think that Microsoft would use these feature phones to draw customers into its app environment – Bing search being the default search engine is one such tiny example.
