For me, a former Nokia mobile phone user, the recent news about the launch of the Nokia 215 feature phone in China really makes me feel extremely cordial and excited. Remember how impressed I was when my first Nokia phone came many years ago?
At that time, Nokia was synonymous with feature phones, with a market share of 80%. Every time Nokia releases a new product, we all go crazy about it.
Although with the advent of the trend of smart phones, Nokia has given up the research and development of feature phones, but Nokia mobile phones have always been the most dazzling star product in the memory of that era.
It not only accompanied us in our formative years, but also witnessed unforgettable moments. Not long ago, I bought myself a new Nokia Classic 3310 on Taobao, just to experience the pure fun of calling and gaming again.
Although the configuration seems a little outdated, the familiar operating feel, the feedback of traditional buttons, and the iconic "" sound make me feel as if I have traveled back to that era of infinite youth. Just when I was rejoicing at the low price of Nokia's old models, the news of the Nokia 215 national version surprised me to find that the Nokia feature phones have never stopped, but are still catering to the market demand and innovating.
According to information on the website of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Nokia 215 uses a 2.8-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 320x240 and supports 4G networks. It is equipped with 64MB of RAM and 128MB of storage, and has a built-in 1450mAh battery. The system is the classic Series 30+ system.
Formally, this feature phone doesn't seem to be much different from past models. But from the perspective of configuration, it has made a lot of progress compared with the previous generation, especially the support for 4G network, which is definitely a highlight.
Of course, there is a view that the feature machine has only 64M memory to barely cope with the demand for calls and text messages, and it is obviously a luxury to want to play some games again. But I don't see it that way, because the Series 30+ is an older system, but it tends to run efficiently with a lower hardware configuration.
On the other hand, even with these seemingly "" configurations, the system is enough to support most of the entertainment apps on feature phones, such as marbles, snakes, and other classic games. What's more, the Nokia 215 is "lightweight" at the same time, but it has not lost the consistent sturdy nature of Nokia mobile phones.
For those of us who are old users, the most important thing is probably the long-standing but still reliable "" function. Previously, many users reported that common domestic entry-level smart phones often broke down and flooded due to their cheap workmanship.
On the other hand, Nokia mobile phones, even in the bumps and bumps of life, rarely make people worry about losing or scrapping. When I was traveling in the first two years, my mobile phone accidentally slipped out of my arms, and I actually fell the road, but the display was still intact.
All of this stems from Nokia's dedication to the mobile phone manufacturing process, from the body material to the structural design to the protection of key parts, all of which highlight the unremitting pursuit of this characteristic. Even if it weighs only about 73 grams, the Nokia 215 is expected to carry on the brand's heritage.
In addition, whether it can support the popularization of the elderly is also the key to measuring whether a feature phone is qualified. Nokia mobile phones have always been favored by the elderly, mainly because of their large buttons, large fonts, large volume design, coupled with simple and intuitive operation, which caters well to the habits of the elderly.
It is expected that the new Nokia 215 will continue to perform at the same level in this regard. Of course, personally, I'm most looking forward to retaining some "classic configurations" on feature phones.
For example, the "Snake" mini-game that has not changed for thousands of years, or those playful and cute MMS image editing features, Nokia has done a very good job in these aspects in the past. For those of us who are heavy nostalgists, it's great to be able to relive the fun on a new model.
It can be said that the imminent arrival of the Nokia 215 has made me have more high hopes for the future development of this brand. Looking at Nokia's performance in the field of feature phones in recent years, I think it has gradually surpassed the traditional Nokia brand, and more shows an unyielding product concept.
That is, to focus on the practical needs that are rooted in people's lives, rather than blindly chasing fashion. Just like the Nokia 215 cameraless design, it seems to be "" on the surface, but in fact, it meets the actual needs of the main consumer groups for mobile phones, avoiding the embarrassing situation of expensive configurations being wasted.
Rather than expecting Nokia to make a big fuss about feature phones, it is better to wait for the latter to continue to improve and optimize on a solid foundation to bring us a more intimate experience. For example, as long as the feature phone can keep pace with the times and continue to improve, it will definitely win the favor of consumers.
More importantly, in this era of smart phones, Nokia mobile phones can still stand, which is enough to show its importance and persistence in the feature phone market segment. I firmly believe that as long as Nokia can maintain the quality.
