Microsoft still believes in feature phones, launches $29 Nokia 215
- The screen measures 2.4 inches and the camera has a 0.3-megapixel resolution.
- Uses the Series 30+ operating system and has Bing Search and an Opera Mini Browser
- Maximum download speed of only 236.8kbps using Edge
- $29 price tag
- Phone’s stand-by time of up to 29 days
Launching a feature phone at the beginning of 2015 may seem strange, but Microsoft is convinced there is still a market for the Nokia 215 as a second phone and in parts of the world were electricity is scarce and budgets are small. Global mobile phone shipments increased to 459.5 million during the third quarter, including about 140 million feature phones.
I think that the mobile phone market has alot of potential smartphones are increasingly having more problems, battery life, memory, privacy. Whereas pior to smartphones life was so much easier with mobile phones providing you with the essentials you need. Can see people going back to mobile phones because of these problems I myself would like to move back to a mobile phone which has a long battery life, current smartphone only lasts afew hours before the battery drains. Maybe companys need to start investing in ways to tackle the battery problem like other companies are currently doing with wireless charging that can charge 10 times faster than a normal plug.
