Microsoft has just released two internet-connected feature phones that could very well be the last Nokia-branded phones to come from the company.
The two devices, Nokia 222 single and dual-SIM variants, will run Series 30+. While on the surface they don't look very different to earlier phones in the series, Microsoft has thrown in a significantly better main camera: the 222 comes with a two-megapixel snapper compared with the 0.3- megapixel camera found on both the Nokia 108 and Nokia 215.
Other features include a 2.4-inch QVGA display, and an 1100 mAh battery that Microsoft says will offer up to 20 hours of talk time. Standby times for the Nokia 222 single SIM and dual SIM are 29 days and 21 days respectively.
The devices are also capable of recording video at QVGA resolution, feature an FM radio, and support MicroSD cards up to 32GB. The phones can also double as flashlights.
Like earlier internet-enabled feature phones, the two devices come with a bundle of apps including the Opera Mini browser, Facebook, Twitter, Messenger, and GroupMe by Skype. Internet connectivity for the two relies on a 2.5G connection.
Thanks to the improved specs, the Nokia 222 pair come with a slightly higher price tag than their predecessors in the range. The Nokia 215 launched at just $29, while the Nokia 222 will be priced at $37 before local taxes and subsidies.
