Specifications

Despite having a vivid smartphone spectrum, the feature phone portfolio of HMD Global is quite strong in markets around the world. This is why the company pays attention to the low-end segment. The Nokia 220 4G is another attempt at bringing the 4G prowess to the feature phone. The feature phone supports VoLTE, as we said, on all carriers in China. It comes in two models, a single SIM variant and a dual SIM variant. 

The Nokia 220 4G comes with a 2.4-inch QVGA non-touchscreen display with a resolution of 240x320 pixels. The Nokia 220 4G is powered by the Feature OS (via NokiaMob), which is a little ambiguous. But if we were to guess, it could run on KaiOS. The device supports dual SIM cards, allowing users in China to utilize multiple networks simultaneously. It offers 4G connectivity along with VoLTE support. While the internal memory is limited with 64MB RAM and 128MB storage space, a MicroSD card slot is available for expansion.

Moreover, the Nokia 220 4G packs 16MB of RAM and 24MB of internal memory, along with support for a microSD card. For connectivity, the Nokia 220 4G has a 3.5mm headphone jack, a MicroUSB (USB 2.0), and Bluetooth v4.2. The feature phone has a wireless FM radio and an MP3 player. There is a 0.3-megapixel rear camera on the feature phone. It has a 1200mAh removable battery under the hood. The Nokia 220 4G measures 121.3x52.9x13.4mm and weighs 86.5 grams. HMD is planning on refreshing all the Nokia feature phones announced previously. HMD Global has not specified if the Nokia 220 4G will be launched in the markets outside of China.
