Nokia,
the smartphone manufacturer, was once the leading mobile brand in the world
with its feature phones being a big hit in the global market. Since then, the
industry has shifted towards smartphones that are a lot more powerful, but the company
has still stuck to its roots. Now, Nokia 150, which is one such feature phone,
has just been launched in China.
The
Nokia 150 arrives with a 2.4 inch display with a resolution of 320 x 240
pixels. For photography, it is equipped with a VGA camera that also supports
LED flash. The handset also features multiple useful functions like FM Radio
via the 3.5mm headphone jack, MP3 music support for music, and inclusion of a
microSD card slot for expandable storage. Notably, the mobile is powered by a
1020mAh battery which is claimed to be capable of running the Nokia 150 for up
to 31 days in a single full charge.
On
the front, users will not find a selfie camera or a QWERTY keypad; rather the
old fashioned number dials with alphabets assigned to them and a Nokia branding
on the top. Below the keyboard a mic can also be found for voice input. The
rear of the device features a lone camera with an LED flash beside it and a
speaker grill just below it. Nokia 150’s body is made from polycarbonate which
is a clear indication of its extreme budget segment.
Nokia
150 is currently available for pre sales on JD and carries a price tag of 199
Yuan or roughly 28 US Dollars. For color options, it is available in two
variants either white or black.
