Appearance
One cannot find anything supernatural in appearance of the Nokia 206 - it is a classic push-button telephone, which is made of plastic. The front panel with the keyboard is glossy, and the back is matte. The chosen solution is very practical - the back panel is convenient, fingerprints are not visible on the front one. The set of elements on the front panel is standard - a keyboard, a screen and a speaker hole. The microphone is located in the lower right corner of the pound key. As for the rear panel, there is a camera eye, as well as holes for a polyphonic speaker. If we talk about the headset and charger connectors, they are on the top panel. Nokia 206 Dual Sim received a second SIM card slot on the left side, which is empty in the original version of the device.
