operating system
The fact remains that the cheap mobile phones from Nokia will continue to operate with the company's own Series 30+ system. The pretty encapsulated system (no App Store, no customizations, etc.) has been felt for ages in these models in use - but for the use via control buttons now very mature. Those looking for functionality à la Android or iOS, probably will not be happy. Who other hand just wants to use the basic functions, can be very intuitive calling, texting, surfing, listening to the radio - or post also liken etc. But for the same more.display
In Nokia 215 dual SIM a 2.4 inch LCD display with 320 x 240 pixels is installed. The resolution called QVGA. The image quality will be with 166 ppi, not pixelated, but (on closer inspection or direct comparison with an top smartphone) stepped out. It is operated via the keyboard, a touch screen function, there is not.camera

The 215 comes in 3 colors on the market, with only green and black are provided for Germany.
Mobile Internet
Although Microsoft announces quite full-bodied, can use that the Nokia 215 for the first time in this price range mobile internet and access, for example on Facebook. One has to say but: this is limited. The data connection via mobile exclusively via 2G (EGPRS) with a maximum of 236.8 kbit / s download and up to 85.6 kbit / s upstream. Neither 3G (UMTS / HSPA) let alone 4G ( LTE ) are available. As for Facebook posts and updates not necessarily large amounts of data are transmitted, the pure Sharen of news and receiving Posts per claim may be OK. But expect a lot you do not. An Opera Mini browser is also installed - who also (slowly) want to surf at his request pages, can also do. Disappointed is also who instead it uses Wi-Fi hotspots or your own wireless router to go with the 215 dual SIM online: For WLAN is not supported.Dual-SIM Control

Design + housing
- Simple and thoughtful, but it is a classic candy bar mobile phone: The 215 follows the pleasing, slightly rounded design of the entry phones such as the Nokia 130 , but is not quite as "chunky" in the look.
- The dimensions are 11.6 x 5.0 x 1.29 cm, the weight is just under 79 grams. For a phone this small equipment quite difficult.
- As colors green, white and black are planned, said White is not intended for the German market.
battery pack
The simple Ausstatttung and the small screen ensure low power consumption. This also means a long battery life.Who telephoned permanently, should the can, according to Microsoft up to 21 hours straight. When the fully charged cell phone is just left lying there holding in standby mode by even 21 days.Conclusion + alternatives
- For under 40 euros you get a quite elegant, for calls and texting very suitable dual SIM device. Internet is possible but limited. Those looking exactly should quietly wait for the launch. Who other hand expect more - as it is also something fueled by Microsoft through its announcements especially in terms of mobile Internet - should be cautious in order not to be disappointed.
- Even less you pay for the Nokia 130 , which receives also two SIM cards.
- Who wants to surf properly obtained for around 100 euros now real smartphones (of course with basic facilities), eg from the same manufacturer, the Lumia 530 Dual SIM .
