The Nokia 200 mobile phone is a 2012 model, with two SIM cards and a full QWERTY keyboard, aimed at teenagers and youth. Price, extensive multimedia features, fashionable design - all this confirms this fact. Read more about the brainchild of the Finnish manufacturer.
Design
The Nokia 200 phone boasts a wide selection of body colors - 8 options for every taste: hot pink, aquamarine, green, soft pink, blue, orange, black and pearl white. The dimensions of the model are 20 x 11.5 x 0.6 cm, weight 105 g.
The case is smoothly rounded and made of nice-to-touch glossy plastic, which does not leave a feeling of cheapness and does not creak in your hands.
No less colorful silicone cases were released for the model to protect them from scratches.
The delivery set is rather modest - the phone itself, a cable for charging, headphones, instructions, and there is no cable for connecting to a computer.
The 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels looks pretty clear and colorful.
Unfortunately, the Nokia 200 does not have a sensor that adjusts the screen brightness depending on the lighting.
The screen is separated from the keyboard by a strip with navigation buttons and standard buttons for receiving / ending a call.
At the top there is a headphone jack, USB, charging, and on the right - a slot for a SIM card and microSD card.
Keyboard
This is the main feature of the model. The keys are clearly delineated and divided, making them easy to find and press. The backlight is quite fierce, so the Nokia 200 is easy to use in the dark. Regular letters are white, and numbers and special characters are orange. The rows of keys are rounded. Fans of social networking and email will quickly learn how to type on the Nokia 200 at high speed.
Numeric keys are duplicated in the center of the keyboard, you can set the speed dialing of certain numbers to numbers from 2 to 9.
"Stuffing" Nokia 200
The characteristics of the phone correspond to its price category.
The phone book has a place for 2000 contacts, each of which can contain up to 5 numbers.
The field of entertainment is represented quite widely. So, the user can:
