  • How to call recoding

  • It shows messages just like in whatsapp.

  • Have seen it running WhatsApp but never achieved it myself despite much effort. I believe that since the video the Nokia 216 has been locked down to prevent the install of unknown .vxp apps.

  • Converting them to 3GP worked for me (if it was slightly long-winded). I believe it does support MP4 but only when it contains a MPEG video rather than the more common (and let's face it better) H.264 encoding

  • no

  • PLEASE HELP My phone is not playing MP4 files! I have loads of videos saved in MP4 format. What can be done about that? Thank You!

  • AAC support but no M4A.

  • It has AAC support but no M4A support. Not sure about ripped from iTunes or anything above 128kbps though.

  • Re: Youtube Please download UCWeb (you'll need to download the jar from your computer) then go to genyoutube.com search for the video you want select 3GP from the download options. Open menu and go to downloads. If it produces an error select the video and click resume. Do much praying and finger crossing.

  • Basically a Nokia 215 with a selfie camera.

  • yes well said,nokia bring back a feature phone with some quailty in it please!! with S40, 301 excellent practical phone!

  • Bought one 216 for my dad. It is so funny, right button shortcut is selfie and I cannot change it to other , wtf?

  • Hi, can anyone confirm this phone can play aac/m4a rip from iTunes? Because on GsmArena info it said so. But I need confirmation from real user.

  • Is this still support whatsapp, viber, imo, skype etc? I just need anything that I can make calls over the internet using mobile data. I just need only 1

  • Can you do web browsing and watch YouTube on this thing ?? Does this phone have smartphone features ?? The screen looks similar to Nokia n9 which runs on meego os so I wonder if you can browse the web and watch YouTube videos .....how does it compare to a lowest budget phone such as Nokia 1 ??

  • Where can i find the message inbox or sent messages??

  • does this have old style text messaging display or is it the thread messaging? anyone know? does it say message sent after sending a message?

  • Hey, if you're looking to play J2ME games, I strongly suggest you check out the Sony Ericsson Yari. You won't be disappointed.

  • If u want to play games buy a gaming computer. If u want a phone buy this

  • Excellent device for mobile communication. Cannot compare smartphone with this one. Obviously smartphone will have much superior features. Lightweight, good battery life, good quality of voice, etc. Some basic features are lacking, such as: I am unable to share a contact or send it over to someone else by sms. I have to type the whole number in text SMS and then send. Sending contact card fails. Can someone help?

  • Whatsapp

  • Very good battery life, 19 days stand by battery life, and very stable operating system however i wished that the key lock locations was like before, and simplicity was restored, making user experience like the old nokia phones. The simplicity of old Nokia's was the greatest thing about it

  • There is storage problem it is only 1.4mb and also can't open photos of size~1mb

  • Ilike it Where do ifind it

  • I'm having a disk space problem while installing new application ...... And while I wants to run those app the phone notification say not enough space..... And also the phone memory is not 14 mb only 1.4 mb..... Help me

  • Mp4 dont work

  • The India and Vietnam models are dual SIM, whereas the United Kingdom models are single SIM.

  • I download the talking mitty to the opera store its says not enough memory(nokia 216)

  • Every time I see someone with a Dual SIM Nokia 216, I always see them with SIM 1 being Airtel and SIM 2 being Vodafone India.

  • Thank you very much for this tip.

  • A selfie cam on a cheap feature phone ..... nobody expects that! Why not though... Not a bad little phone, wish nokia would put just a little more into the mp3 player though.. that is a better feature than the camera because battery life is better than smartphone. Internet really too slow and not so useful as it can't handle modern sites well...

  • Have you tried long pressing the button until the letter changes to number?

  • why i can't input phone number on message ?

  • I download a picture from facebook using this but when im going to my file i saw 'cannot display this image' i cannot see the picture that i download 'nokia c2-01 is much better it supported java apps and games 3.2mp camera and better zooming the picture

  • No.it is not problem of ram,it is due to it is 2g speed .so it gets operation failed.for this you can go to settings and can on roaming.

  • I bet it's cheaper as well!

  • Back in my day, the only phones that had a front facing camera are the ones that UMTS. And you could only use it for video calling, not for taking selfies!

  • I'd say Nokia 230. If you're willing to pay the extra money (230 is more expensive than 216), go for it as it's a much better phone!

  • You can get it in eBay and Tesco. Not sure about anywhere else though, but I'm 100% sure eBay and Tesco DO have the Nokia 216.

  • which store can i get this and how is it

  • Terrible UI. Also, the phone is too slow to run most java applications.

  • how many messages can we store in this mobile?

  • How to set language to russkiy yazyk?

  • Will Nokia relaunch its Asha 301 model?

  • Try BSNL. We can't have direct access to opera mobile store on airtel, idea or vodafone. When we will click on the opera mobile store icon, the airtel, idea or vodafone games club opens. It's not phone's problem. It's the bloody business of mobile network. But we can have direct access to opera mobile store only with BSNL as BSNL don't poses such bloody business. We can have access to opera mobile store on airtel, idea or vodafone. For that, we have to go through website. Type opera mobile store in the google search bar. Click on the opera mobile store option. Go to bottom by scrolling after when the opera mobile store opens. Now select device model and it follows.

  • Try bsnl. Then game will be shown to u. There is a technique to have games frm opera store on other networks. Bt u can have direct access to opera store wth bsnl.

  • There's 2 mode.hq and low.if u play low,it will run smooth.hq lags much.make sure that quality is low.

  • It's support whatsapp in this mode?

  • I would like to know how to remove pre-installed games so that I can increase phone memory.

  • It plays Youtube videos but after sometime it shows operation failed. I think it is due to low memory and RAM configuration. Is there any one that can help me in addressing this problem? Please reply soon.

  • Yes same issue. Please help

  • Thank you so much.

  • No, only one phone number per contact.

  • Can we add multiple phone numbers under a contact?

  • awesome phone.nice camera and battery performance.

  • Menu / Counters / Choose SIM / Call

  • how to see, total dialed call hours, total received call hours (call duration option)

  • A nice and capable phone. The only issues I have with it is the slow processor and the lack of game compatibility.

  • Nokia 216 can't open .png and some .jpg images (some jpg image can open and some can't). Is there some solution for that?

  • Bro it's a feature phone. Plz buy smartphone phone if you want whatsapp or any other features

  • It's a worst phone. Problem 1= call hold automatic. 2. Slow internet 3. Bad Network quality 4. Some picture format not supported 5. Some audio format not supported 6. Not enough phone memory 7. Gud mara speaker 8. Bad keypad

  • I want how much sms can we have in his inbox?

  • I decided I want THIS phone. I don't need anything else apart from a camera and a browser, SMS MMS and calling. That's all I want. To all those wondering who would buy a phone like that, I would because a smartphone is both difficult to use and 90% of functions and apps are useless to me. Also, to those naive people wondering "oh no, can't install whatsapp?" and "no wifi? It's useless", GO AWAY. This is NOT a smartphone (or portable computers to me), it's a PHONE. If you want a smartphone, BUY A SMARTPHONE and stop dissing this kind of phones, ok?

  • Hello, this phone runs on super dumb S30+, so it can't run Java apps and games very well because the phone memory is 1.4 MB, such a shame.

  • Greetings 2 all Nokia 216 users, I've been using Nokia 216 mint colour 4r 4 months & my Nokia didn't have other problems like calls, texts etc. but there's 1 i.e. when I try 2 download Mini Soccer at Mobile Store & after the app was installed, it's said 'App can't be verified'. When I tried & tried 2 download again, it still said the same thing. Plz Help me guys, how can I solve this problem. Anyway, if u guys know the answer reply me OK? TQ!

  • only the size of the phones make them different..

  • Coming from a person who has used phones with a 2.2" screen (Nokia X2-00 and Sony Ericsson W595), the 2.4" screen size DOES makes quite a difference. Sure, it's only a 0.2" difference but still.

  • no

  • how long do i need to charge my phone for the first time ? thanks

  • I m using Nokia 216 from last month.Whenever I use fb on it the mbl automaticaly turn to off and takes upto 30 sec to start (it will not automaticaly restart).From the last month it has turned of upto 20 times. I am going to claim it very soon. Also the battery becomes low in a day only. I think its a waste of money to buy this.My advice is that buy any other product except this plzzz. . .

  • does it have whats app?

  • Phone is good enough for my basic requirements. My problem with this phone is i can't save messages separately as draf or etc. And it takes atleast 3 hours to get full charge. This is my wastage of time. When heavy used this phone only 1 day battery life. Sometimes internet is very slow. Opera mini is very poor old version. I am 70% satisfied in this phone.

  • It is due to the UI which is different in mobiles sold by HMD Global, I am also upset due to this issue. I am also unable to find any fix to this issue.

  • How can i move apps from my apps into SD card .or how can i improve my my apps storage space. Only this is my problem otherwise its good phone

  • how can i backup message in nokia 216 dual sim

  • Go to restore factory setting and restore if this not work in dial screen press *#7370# and enter your security code. The default password is 12345

  • Thank you very much for the useful info. I was about to purchase the phone but your comments made me change my mind. I have a Samsung E 2252 phone and I am facing the same exact issue. Do you know of any other basic phone that can store sms on the memory card? Or at least a basic phone with big internal memory? Thank you

  • Did you get a resolution to this issue?

  • Depending on where you buy it. I bought it a week ago in Vilnius, and yes, lietuviu kalba cia yra. Also as you would expect, Latvian, Estonian, Russian, English. But there is a big problem with this model - you can only store SMS's in phone memory, while you can choose to store MMS's in SD card. That means, you would someday overfill the phone memory with SMS's, while the SD memory stays empty - possibly waiting for your photos and videos, done with the 0.3 Mp camera... Unless somebody (who? Nokia? Microsoft?) would offer the upgrade of the operatying system, allowing to store SMS's in SD. Apparently, they wouldn't hurry to it, as complaints about it were back in 2016. Now, we live in 2018, and still face the situation of not receiving new SMS's, because the memory is overfull...

  • I am also having this problem

  • what type of languages are there? and is there lithuanian?

  • Is it any good? I want to buy it as a full-time phone too

  • can whatsapp installed?

  • clear and loud for voice call even in noisy streets.

  • How to set contact ringtone

  • I can't set ringtones for contacts

  • have you tried multiple smaller ones?

  • Is it true that this Nokia does not support java application?

  • I am totally unable to transfer more than 6 contacts (always the same random 6) from my Nexus 4. I can export a large vcard file to the Nokia but it fails to load it to the phone. Any advice would be welcome.

  • very nice clean shape design , awesome basic mobilephone ( nokia 216 blue )

  • I can't delete my photos anymore and my bluetooth is not working properly. Do you guys share the same problem too? I need a reply as soon as your read this. :( Thank you.

  • My photoe can't be deleted and my bluetooth is not working properly. What's wrong with my nokia 216? Do you guys share the same problem too? Please reply as soon as you read this. :(

  • it´s super !

  • I can't check if a message was delivered or not. It looks as if it was sent, and no way of knowing, accept for a tiny little symbol which is ambiguous. Seriously, it makes me so angry when these tech idiots don't have basic common sense, and can't see things from the users point of view.

  • Is this support imo?

  • Is this support imo?

  • Not opend bing mobile store

  • I have the same problem. My phone doesnt a day. I hav3 to charge it twice a day.

  • I can't able to change the options of power key button.

  • I plan to purchase this phone soon. I know what I shall be getting for 30 bucks. I want to use this purely just as a phone for everyday use with lots of phonebook/contact space. I think this is exactly what this phone is made for and meant to be. For all those apps and net functions and connectivity etc.etc., I use "smartphones". This phone is pretty much a very basic feature phone and I simply do not expect (or want) so many "bells and whistles" in it. My only complaint would be the battery size, not good, but hey, I can live with that since this will not cost me an arm and a leg and serve my purpose very well as a basic phone with a big phonebook. However the way things are made these days, I only hope it does not stop working anytime soon.

  • Try cleaning the SIM card with alcohol

  • i found that nokia 216 conversation interface is very confusing. is thr any method to change it?

  • Contact the seller.. Must be something wrong with the phone or battery.

  • Great to get back the "smartless-phone" feeling.. Dual sim phone gives the possibility of garrying only one phone - personal and work-phones. Battery keeps going. It has been 6 days on this charging and the end is nowhere near. I have talked only about an hour and send few text messages but still it's great that I don't have to charge it every day. I still use the smart one on the side because I have "side sim" in this one.. So far great experience..

  • Dual sim

  • Not much better than old java nokia mobiles,battery backup is bad,such a worst one

  • I bought one for my mother. The battery doesn't even last a day. It needs to be charged twice a day occasionally. Disappointed. I thought these could last days on one charge. She doesn't even talk on the phone much. Faulty piece maybe?!

  • Is this fon has java?

  • dual sim

  • can any one plz tell, is nokia 216 a single sim or double sim phone?

  • Plz tell me that in this phone whatsapp is working or not

  • Will see there is lots of time yet to get things right with consumer feedback.

  • Thanks. This is why I think that Nokia is dead. What we have is the name only and not what Nokia stood for in phones. As a hand set, I'm quite pleased with it but no the OS. We have to stop thinking in terms of what we knew about Nokia as far as the OS is concerned. I hope HMD bring out a suite to get inside these phones and backup files and messages that are not on the SD card.

  • Very limited I am afraid, what you have to remember its totally different to what you are used to, plus the price segment so its acceptable, your like me I don't care for apps and cameras etc etc but it serves its primary use well as a phone or has for me and for a while as I imported the phone months before it came to the UK market.

  • Good, you got it working, and I am afraid it will not be compatible with Nokia suite its an aged software now which will only work with old Nokia handsets.

  • Right, but it still is a downgrade with limited settings. Is this progress? I don't care about Apps or Internet or songs or cameras or anything else that has nothing to do with a phone. I just want to make the necessary adjustments as a phone which the 3110c allows me to do.

  • I've changed my USB cable and now it shows me my memory card. So the problem was there. It cannot connect to the Nokia Suite though, is it still not compatible with these yet?

  • Not true MS and HMD did not ruin anything, Nokia stopped Symbian OS and started the Asha line of handsets running Nokia Series 30+ operating system which is what these handsets are running today. Your Nokia 3110c ran system Nokia OS Series 40 3rd Edition

  • Your computer should acknowledge it being plugged into usb output on computer, does anything come on screen of phone when plugged in?

  • Yes go to profiles then edit there is option to switch sound off keypad once reduced press save

  • Does anyone know if the 216 can be connected to a PC with a cable? I have tried all the software for this but does not recognise the phone.

  • You can't. Not possible.

  • Unfortunately since MS and HMD took over the brand the OS has gone downhill. These phones are Nokia in name only, nothing to do with the original phones. You are just buying a name not the actual superior OS of the original Nokias. I have bought Nokia all my life and I have bought the latest 216 and 150. Very disappointed with them. I went back to my trusted and faithful 3110c which has a real OS not these hybrids that have been stripped of essential settings.

  • My sim 2 card slot just stop working today and I tried to fix it but I couldn't pls can anyone help me out on how to slove the problem

  • Ok

  • How old is charging the battery in the normal use? I had a Nokia 6310i battery charge remains 6 days

  • I have Nokia 230 and all the previous months i downloaded dozens of games from opera mobile store. Recently i have exactly the same problem with you and this probably has something to do with Hmd that owns Nokia brand and Microsoft don't anymore. There 'll be a problem for a few weeks more,but of course i'm not sure. 216 and 230 are Microsoft /Nokia devices... Anyone who knows something more please inform all other guys... I think you bought a very good device and I 'm satisfied with Nokia 230 but of course i want our problem to be solved very soon...

  • The mint 216 was a great idea! I think that 216 is the best feature phone in this price. You can download java games and this is really good for 39$.

  • Nice, I too have it's father 3210 still in good cindition just battery replaced.

  • No need of customers care,it's lifetime, nothing happens, my 3310 is still A1 just battery replaced. If you handle with care.

  • Nokia 216 is a very very very good phone , I don't like that type of people who insults NOKIA'S phones.Only Nokia gives us very good feature phones in very low cost.

  • Looking forward to buy this but in India over amazon not able to find blue mint colour..

  • Unable to enter more than 8 characters as contact name, in SIMS. In Phone memory allows to enter more than 8 characers but when transfer / copy to SIM again it is getting trimmed. Old model C2-02 allows more than 8 characters for contact's name. Another problem is speed dial shows only to SIM contacts but not Phone memory contacts. Manual is very very incomplete.

  • for basic phone user 1. It is very handy 2. Voice call. Ringtone are decent. 3. Good battery back up. 4. At present market compare with other brand & non brand phone $38 it's worth of money. 5. It's better don't compare with android device.

  • Very bad in charge backup and net use.

  • i was wondering exactly the same thing with you -how many times you will post and tell us the same things... For example Samsung metro 360 is more expensive and doesn't have whatsapp ... These are basic feature phones and since you can download java apps with 216 you get more than enough for just 39$ and everybody sees that.This is a dirty cheap phone. None of the big brands like Nokia,Samsung e.t.c. released this year(2016) a phone that costs 39$ with whatsapp.It's the strategy of all the big companies and not only Nokias... Can you name us a phone that is released inside 2016 from a big company like Nokia that have whatsapp and costs 39$? of course not... it's obvious sir that you are wrong.

  • Can any body help me..in my set contact show in last name sequence...suppose contact name is pradip kumar..it is showing kumar pradip..and it cant be changed.i tried every thing..is there any solution of dis issue..bcoz of dis i cant find the contact by typing name..pl any body help me dis device become nightmare to me

  • Samsung metro 360 is more expensive phone than Nokia 216 and doesn't have whatsapp... Why should 216 have whatsapp ?Could you answer us mr.director?(phrase the end)... And why don't you write complaints to Samsung's page and you always complain only for Microsoft/Nokia feature phones? Nowdays (2016)no big brand gives you whatsapp with 39$. know it from now on...

  • How many times you have to be told that with 39$ not a single known brand includes whatsapp.Not Samsung not Motorola not Htc e.t.c. If you know a big brand like Nokia that gives whatsapp with 39$ then go on and tell us...This is the strategy by all the giant brands.(i bet you won't answer because you can't find any answer as usual). If you name a famous brand that gives whatsapp in a phone that costs 39$ then you will have right but if you don't then i have right... So Why don't you write exactly the same complaints in the page of Samsung for example and you only write here?Samsung's feature phones don't have whatsapp in this price range too... Why don't you name us the 2 Chinese phones you said you bought?(i bet you won't answer again because probably you are lying or because you are ashamed about the phones you have). The rest that you write about Nokia-Hmd and foxconn we already know them by dozens of articles by Gsm arena and not from you. I can understand why you wrote the phrase:''the end''.Because you didn't want to answer to you and prove to everybody that you are just a hater of Nokia/Microsoft feature phones. just say that you hate Microsoft/Nokia and don't write all these nonsense everytime time. We are tired of your lies and your hate and for everyone that can read you are just a troller and nothing more.That's the real end...Stop your propaganda against cheap Nokia phones,we are bored with you don't you understand it?

  • How many times you have To be Told No Whattsapp nothing else except what Icons available in menu. 40$ is obnoxious. Just wait for 500+ smartphone comes. Gone are days , when Nokia had monopoly,Hmd,Foxcom will invest and manufacture. Only Nokia will supervise and take totality. The End

  • Your comment doesn't make any sense. Nokia 216 is feature phone with physical keyboard and of course with totally different price than Nokia android by hmd/Nokia/foxconn which is a smartphone and that surely will have a higher price. Don't tell us what to do again because in the past you wrote that you were user of Nokia 230 and you told us that the camera was just filling the blanks and nothing more. You also told us that you cannot download apps with 230... Fortunately i didn't hear you and i bought 230 and i found out that it has an excellent camera for 2 mp and also i downloaded hundreds of low java apps;mostly games...The games were excellent,the loudspeaker was perfect and the phone had the best build quality in it's price range although i would prefer to have s40.Overall Nokia 230 is good.. This blog is made to inform with facts future buyers and not to troll repeatedly against phones we hate by telling lies to all the other guys... You have done this repeatedly and now you continue doing this with 216. Many times in the past you have insulted readers of this blog... Let people decide what it is good according to their needs...There are different people with different needs. If you don't want then don't buy because it's your right - but it is also our right to buy both Nokia 216 and Nokia with android when it'll be released.

  • This is last of MS Nokia shot! Afterwards Nokia under License be manufactured by Foxcom. This216 is only improvement in front camera, both less Lights, addition of Notes app n menu. Not much but hike in price by 10 $. Just wait for D1C Nokia Andriod maiden phone march 17.

  • Hi, could you tell me please if it is possible to install whats up app on this phone? I am not a great apps user but this one is quite handy :) Thanks,

  • Actually Nokia did not close, its mobile phone business was sold to Microsoft. Nokia continued and looked at future technologies - including virtual reality. Microsoft has since stopped producing phones under the Nokia brand (at first they still carried the Nokia name). And now, the Nokia brand has been bought back - feature phones now, and next year there will be smart phones.

  • thos is microsoft nokia 216

  • Sir/Madam Nokia company is still closed on before 1 year back, But this phone announcing date is September 2016, How it is possible...

  • Yeah me too ..

  • I have the phone, it's great for its price. Problem is that shortcuts are not customisable. I don't want my right button to be a Selfie button. Anyone knows how to change it? Thanks!

  • Cant wait till see beautiful nokia phones again

  • yes

  • Can someone tell me how to save contact number to the memory card? The phonebook memory just for 2000 and it's not enough for me. Thx

  • Finally bought it (usd 35) after waiting 1 month from expected release news ( Indonesia) . This feature phone as replacement of my Sony Ericsson Elm which become malfunction after serving well as long as 6 years . Available 2 colour ,black and mint both are dual sim. Mine blue mint, and everybody like it ...As second phone beside smartphone ,for basic telecommunication such long talk and text with long lasting battery , it is quite enough to fullfil expectation, even spec/feature under my previous Elm.. Even there many option feature phone from local brand and china brand with less price , but mostly all product only good for short time,.. I think 216 is the last Nokia feature phone from Microsoft, so maybe I am buying a memorable phone. Maybe there is more durable/better features phone Nokia from FIH/Foxconn but it just a possibility, ...

  • Does it have multiple alarms??

  • 217 then 218 it will continue till we get fed up, with price hike to 50$. Just wait fr Nokia to intro Android devices, they are in making, will come one by one. Low end to flagships. Tolerance!

  • Disappointed. I want an S40 device not an S30+!!!!!

  • Please make all latest NOKIA mobiles with AUTO CALL RECORD option, it is much useful and lot of people in general. If our NOKIA have auto call record option, lot of people (other brand purchasers) are interest to purchase our mobile, it is more needful.

  • is it keep one month call record in call log like old nokia phones i.e nokia 1208, nokia x2??

  • is it keep one month call record in call log like old nokia phones i.e nokia 1208, nokia x2 ?

  • just like an android . with selfie and java

  • Video playback Video playback frame rate (local): 25 fps Video playback codecs: H.263,H.264/AVC,M-JPEG,MPEG-4 Video streaming: Real time video streaming (RTSP),YouTube browsing and video streaming

  • No...whatsapp is available in S40 only till March 17...This phone is S30+.

  • Yes...streaming is available...you can play youtube.

  • no, bcz its 2g network

  • Can i access whats app in the nokia 216?

  • I bought this phone. Excellent phone. I like Nokia.

  • hello friend's tell me can it play youtube? It looks great.

  • Reasonable price for a device that you can download games from Opera browser-store. You also have the reliability of Nokia for tough use unlike many other rubbish brands. Moreover you won't find this beautiful design anywhere else... Plus of course you have a very good keypad unlike other brands... Torch and loudspeaker are good. Another good thing is that you can plug your headphones and listen to what you like... 2 cameras for basic things but with flash. I won't ask for more 'cause it costs only 39$. Only lunatics asks for more in this price range by a well known brand as Nokia. No other famous brand gives you more with this money-They give you less. I won't go for unknown Chinese brands because most of them are laggy as hell in this price and those phones are not well built and are also ugly with safety risks. i prefer Nokia 216- and i am sure this phone is going to last for many years cause it's a Nokia phone...

  • Much better than others in lowest price.

  • no chance ! how will get whatsapp for 16mb of ram?

  • Can you forward rewind a song/ track with a 216 ? or its the same as older model where pressing forward jumps to next track and pressing back jumps to last track.

  • Nokia 216 can use whatsapp applications? Thx

  • Now i using Nokia 216,i send this opinion use Nokia 216.it have facebook but it open and running on opera mini but you can download any java,app,game only for s30 / .vxp .it ok with that price but in Malaysia in Rrp:RM189~

  • Hey bro... Can I get save Iteam option in messege coloum & note in organiser option, just lick a Nokia 2700 model. Can I get pls suggest.

  • hi bro,i just asking is it playable youtube?

  • Is the keyboard made of plastic or rubber?? Can someone tell me

  • when i play games its ringtone volume becomes low upto two levels what is problem with my handset

  • of course. zzzzz

  • While doing SMS, does Nokia 216 has dictionary option or predictive text input?

  • All guy's be aware, only flash added to 215,nothing else rest same software no whatsapp nor Imo. S30 antique software. No cable or update WiFi nor upgrade ever. 40$ too exorbitant! Nokia had just given rights to use its name, Nothing Else is Nokia software, manufacturing, designing! Only use of Name!

  • can you tell me the SMS view. is it threadview or not? Thank you. In addition, from what the buttons are made, is it from plastic or rubber?

  • is there anybody know whether the buttons are made by plastics or rubber?

  • Nokia has not purchased the phone business back from Microsoft. There was an agreement between these two companies for using the Brand Name "Nokia" for a certain period of time. The upcoming Android based phones will not be manufactured by Nokia itself buy by a third party in China.

  • Remember Samsung Metro 360, at least try to top it with a flip/clamshell phone.

  • why cant they bring a classic flip phone with WhatsApp and WiFi support, the camera should be 2 mp with led flash though. For cost cutting the battery could be non-removable and the radio could be removed. For inside theme just keep a color slider and add some retro-outdated fun apps.

  • R.I.P.

  • Why didn't you read carefully my comment before you reply? I wrote:WE KNOW ABOUT UPCOMING NOKIA SMARTPHONES WITH ANDROID-WE KNOW... The thing that we do not know and i wrote about is for the Os that they'll use for their feature phones.And that means not for their smartphones and neither for their tablets... So you didn't inform us for something new but you repeated the same thing i already wrote, but ok you're welcome.

  • Its sure that nokia(HMD) is gonna release android phones." ..............................The new smartphones and tablets will be based on Android, uniting one of the worldÂ’s iconic mobile brands, Nokia, with the leading mobile operating system and app development community........"(From Nokia's official website) Visit:

  • Is it available only online?

  • I bought this phone yesterday in bangalore. Look wise good, and it has flash for both bak and front camera, though the camera is VGA.

  • This phone is supported you tube

  • nice but then haven't said when they are releasing, actually they said that 24 Oct will be the release date but they haven't done it ,does any one know when they are releasing,

  • Nice phone, when it will be available?

  • when they are releasing???

  • We know about upcoming Nokia smartphones with android but we do not know anything official about the operating system that they will use for their feature phones. Maybe you are right and they 'll use older software like S40 for example but we cannot be sure because it is also possible to use some new and simple Os for their feature phones. Or maybe they'll use 2 operating systems one for cheap feature phones and one for the more expensive ones,we'll see... Good luck to Nokia by HMD. Nokia is always a trustworthy brand and deserves the best.

  • You'll be very soon looking at the bar phones with older software and android smartphones of Nokia in the first quarter of next year as they have purchased the business back from Microsoft

  • It will be available in coming weak

  • may i know when is the release date and where to buy this phone

  • Nice color

  • I seem to have this problem with mobile phones.....the old(brick type) ones loose its signal if it's held against my body, the touch screen ones just would stop working and show that I'm not registered on the network and I need to restart it. I enjy chatting with family and friends on whatsapp, I need something that will WORK. Which phone would be best?

  • Very good phone for professional use. In my country; >>Supports satellite phones (thuraya) in terms battery & costs. I mean, while in the field, you can use it for calls where there's network coverage and/or use satellite phone for calls when your local service provider is out of coverage. >>We buy only these kind... original Nokia phones for Delegates/expats/field officers. >>Very strong battery that can never be compared to that of any smart phone. >>User friendly and workers really don't need many instructions to use it. >>Very affordable, portable, so durable and with all the basic features. >>People these days carrying 2 to 3 smart phones and power bungs because of shortage of these original phones in the market. >>ETC..! My favorite Nokia of this kind was Nokia 206. I liked it so much...I missed and still missing as was stolen. >>It had Facebook and WhatsApp with very beautiful pop-up notifications. Infact i could leave my smart phone in the house and could only carry my Nokia 206 for chats (Facebook & WhatsApp). Besides, it's bandwidth consumption (Use of MBs) is very low as was small screen. The buttons feel so soft. >>I wish Nokia continues to produce such phones on very serious note. Am waiting...and will be the first person to buy Nokia 216 as soon as it's out in the market.

  • I agree Microsoft put a rubbish OS in Nokia, the older nokia is much better.

  • We Want The Restoration Of Orginal Nokia Software In Nokia's Bar Phones. In Sms Option Theres No archive To Store And Save Your Fovourite Sms. So There Is No Difference Between Nokia Made Phone And China Made Phone.

  • E-series were unique... We are waiting not only for wi-fi but also for a nice Qwerty phone. Something like E5 but a little bit cheaper so that anyone can afford it. Hmd/Nokia don't stop completely the Qwerty phones legacy,it will be a mistake. Although years have changed many things in the area of mobile phones i still hope that you'll make phones for everybody like you used to...

  • Mint colour looks nice.

  • We don't needs new phones... Just bring back nokia's service like Nokia ovi store, nokia suite, life tools, nokia accounts, and other service.

  • yah I agree, must put wifi in every model they made!!

  • Concerning the consumer demand I would like request to have phone with out camera but they need to have wifi.

  • There are so many phone like this in the market at the present , so many people ( not older people) focus on low-end or mid- range smartphone or high end smart phone instead. But if this kind of Candy- bar phone come with smart camera ( high tech camera) plus popular OS (like Android OS ) : what's happened ? For me (myself) , i still need to use this kind of dual sim phone but it should come with high end specs. Every people have their own preference : i prefere to use this kind of phone because of light weight ( it is comfortable to keep it in pocket but nowaday so many people use two or three smart device : at least one more tablet, so this candy bar phone can be a secondary one !)

  • Please produce wifi feature phones like E-series.

  • 3310 of yeasteryears, but lacking. Any essential software features. I remember 22$ strong body, all.

  • Que. This phone is support you tube?

  • wish Nokia/Microsoft feature phone uses the version of windows OS used in Microsoft Band it will be a smart-feature phone for $20

  • Is it released?

  • I Purches Nokia 216 mobail ph

  • Hopefully new Nokia could design some feature phones with smartphone features, better camera quality, wifi, 4G, touch screen.......

  • hey this is the final phone of microsoft nokia if microsoft did not buy nokia then nokia would relase a feature phone with 4G LTE

  • Hey does this phone have Java operating system?

  • Ummm, no? The phone has very little storage space, all the nokia/Samsung feature phones have very little storage space. If the pictures were like 5MP then you'd only have room for about 10 pictures. VGA gives you over 100.

  • Pretty good phone for construction workers

  • if there is multi phonebook (contacts) it will be very useful

  • Vga camera??? Its not a stone age anymore, wake up nokia!!

  • when it will be release?

  • This new nokia is really nice , i will buy soon

  • is there multi contact no. can be save in one contact name? before purchase it assure first

  • does is synch with google contacts and have gps drive map

  • Looks really nice.

  • This is phone I have been waiting for. So excited. When you compare features of this to high priced androids windows and ios phones this gives you what you need in a phone without all of the crap you do not need. All I know is I need this phone.

  • This phone is superb. Quality is outstanding. Features are as good if not better than any iphone I ever owned but this is much more affordable and everyone know I like to save money. I will soon be making big deals using this phone no doubt. This is an incredible deal my brothers and sisters.

  • It this phone support WhatsApp?

  • Still nokia is not learning from mistakes the offered facilities are not up to the mark in feature phone segment. Such as vga camera, poor internal memory. If you continue these kind of attitude who will loose. Strategize what other competitors and other small chinese companies are doing you already loose your market coz of under estimating and fail to anticipating future demand and fail to satify customer satisfaction. Now you are in the position to blast your competitors by providind models with more facilities then only you can survive. As a nokia lover I m expressing this. I dont want my favourite company dont commit frequent sucide decisions

  • i want to buy this this phone is awesome when its launching in india plz suggest me i love nokia

  • I don't blame you that you get confused because you bought too many feature phones... Also i respect every opinion but i don't agree with many of them... Samsung is a waste of money for me and since many lives are in danger i wouldn't advice anyone to get Samsung products.See for example that galaxy note 7 is more a ticking bomb than a phone...The trust is lost for them and that goes for any device that comes by Samsung. I also like just like you Nokia 216 and probably will be my next feature phone bus station because i think that Nokia is more experienced in the area of feature phones than any other brand and the most important is that Nokia products are safe with no battery explosions...

  • I've had more time with the phones and the Metro 360 is my preferred, I switch between phones regularly I own all the Microsoft/Nokia candybars to date except the 216.

  • I found one of your comments at Nokia 230 page and you write exactly:if you want a phone for it's primary uses phoning and texting and like the more traditional look and feel LOOK NO FURTHER THAN THIS ONE...so you admit which is the best phone clearly(Nokia 230).Your comment was posted April while you were also posting comments for metro 360.

  • I have used all the Microsoft/Nokia candybars 215 being my favourite in terms of design, yes they are all the same I really don't like the OS its horrible of course this is personal choice. I use Samsungs Metro 360 its great and with the brushed metal plate on the front feels and looks premium, also the OS feels a lot more polished, with a good camera.

  • Why can't nokia just go back to making dumb phones like they did before with the N and E series with the cool designs and features like wifi, 3G and 3 inch screens, not these kind of phones they are sure nobody will buy?! Or did microsoft buy those old designs as well? Because I heard they only got the lumia's.

  • Did you use metro 360 and all Microsoft's Nokia devices and you know that? Did you use Nokia 230,222,215,105,130 and Metro 360? And if not how do you know it is a better device?

  • I have a samsung metro 360 and its better than any of these microsoft/nokia efforts. Might give this a go though I kinda like it

  • Smart customers punishes Samsung because they are responsible for many dangerous devices that came out -mostly Galaxy note 7 but not only... Samsung is not a reliable brand.

  • Thank you Mr. Aadrian.

  • standy by it wont last for a week. It uses 3G data connection to synchronize users data during stand by. Nokia is not Nokia from years ago... theyre now microsoft nokia (sad)

  • Samsung metro xl is the best feature phone nowadays

  • This is probably the last Microsoft phone under Nokia brand.

  • WHAT OS? We know that Android requires big battery to get a day out of it, in a candybar phone how much battery are you going to have if it has 4G. I'm with you on 4g, but on a practical level.

  • Gionee L800 is a very good phone in this range. Its in the market already. Available for only Rs.2,200 in India. I have it and extremely satisfied.

  • why this phone is good, it has replaceable batteries so it can last years and years of use. Standby can last almost a week or more.

  • its MB :P

  • Probably Q1 of 2017. I assume they will be present at MWC to show the public what they come up with. They planned to come up with a couple of high end smartphones, but they take their time cause the phones must be great of course. So I expect early 2017 for Nokia to show what they have. I hope, of course, they will show their phones before the end of this year. Lets hope.

  • Is this phone support FM radio recording?I really need a FM radio recording Nokia feature phone.BT Microsoft didn't give this option on its previous nokia feature phones.and can't find any old model Nokia feature phone in my country.

  • When Nokia releasing its Smarts Android Phones? any idea expected date?

  • Kindly tell is there any voice call recording option avavilable on nokia 216. Becasue its a most important features now a days and allmost 80% mobile brands are giving this features...

  • Please covered the nokia mobile stainless steel body with keypad mobile.

  • You almost pay nothing and you get things that no other known brand gives... 1.We must be thankful that for 37$ Nokia 216 support java games. 2.Have 16mb ram storage that you will not find almost in any other phone in this price range. 3.The design is incredible and makes the phone a piece of art. 4.Battery seems decent and safe and you will not need fire extinguisher(Samsung batteries used mostly in Galaxy note 7). 5.While others break their devices trying to drill a head phone jack (i phone 7) you can plug easily your headphones and listen to your favourite music. 6.Two basic cameras -one for selfie. 7.Radio fm and a very good loudspeaker as Nokia said -clear and loud. 8.Led flash-flashlight. You will read many negative comments but remember that haters will always hate and also remember that this is a very sophisticated phone for it's price.It is an extremely cheap feature phone but gives you all the above things. Although i bought Nokia 230 which is a good phone now i begin to like 216 very much. Probably i'm gonna get this one too.

  • Of course not! But theres a jack i guess...

  • My father is using Nokia all his life. He Is almost 60. Its great phone for peoples like he is - who hate androids:)

  • 16 GB of RAM? Most amount of RAM of any phone n the market for only $37!

  • Yes i agree this is what we need when traveling.

  • Why they don't make a phone like this 3G and 4G to cover the entire world? And with a front cammera also to make video calls. People need this kind of phones to travel. They are more reliable.

  • you rock man brand new nokia phylosophy

  • i wonder why nokia didnt realise their power just make an android candybar / flip phone model with low spec we wont complaint low spec android candybar phone. 320 ppi 4G dual sim 1gb / 2gb ram 8 / 3 mp camera 16gb + sd card 2400 batery bonus add aosp based custom rom

  • Very low internal memory ram rom camera

  • Nokia is very good company its phone like wow and the company is back I am very happy

  • Nokia should immediately make android smartphone with intel atom, it would be great, not this phone :D

  • Horrible technology approved by NASA !!! I will buy one for my new born baby

  • Wow! Great design and excellent specs. I'm thinking about switching to it from my iPhone 7 Plus. But can anyone tell me if this will have dual cameras on the back.

  • Same here buddy, this guy is precisely on point.

  • Disappointed... was wanting an S40 phone from Nokia but unfortunately, this is S30+

  • It looks like Nokia is trying its best to commit suicide where previous attempts failed because of Nokia-lovers like me. And now, why to buy a 222 sized 0.3MP bullshit for the price of a smartphone with bigger screen and java support? ........................... Nokia, you are just wasting some resources. Shut it directly, go home, have a good sleep. A "Good morning from Chinese World" is waiting for you.

  • Couldn't have said it better bro! Total waste of electronic resources. We all have such dumb phones as secondary handsets already. I had one by Samsung and gave it to my mother and have another by ZTE with torch, camera and Wap as main features. My biggest worry is that all the companies have gone backwards in technology since Apple came to the mobile phone industry all in the name of "re-inventing the mobile industry". What a shame!

  • on a perfect phone for someone who hates being pulled in by games and constant facebook scrolling, for a person who would just use fb for messages... you dont give this phone wifi??? it would have been perfect otherwise... ffs

  • Is this Nokia's phone or Microsoft, whereas i read in news paper that this is microsoft nokia's last to release because microsoft sold phone business to someone else.

  • is there snaks game in it ,...... 'm huge fan of it.

  • wrong, Nokia is back in the ground.

  • Yes. Give it 6GB of Ram, 3500 mAh battery, SD 821, 4K@60fps, 5.7 inch 4K display, 6mm thickness and sell it for less than $ 20

  • maybe for flash light dude

  • I wish they would release a Nokia 105 sized small phone with 3G/4G network support and weeks of battery life. Some operators do not support GSM anymore.

  • i hate people who like to complain about this phone...hey do you know an iphone 7 dont even have a 3.5mm headphone jack and this phone have one and nobody gives a damn about it

  • those were the days nokia vs sony ericsson was a war !! i love nokia but sony ericsson phones are stylish and music freaks love them

  • nokia is back to pavelion

  • Nokia 216 is an affordable phone for the masses. It is a dirty cheap phone that costs only 37$ and it is an internet enable device,with radio,usb,2 cameras,led flash,games and other features that even i phone7 does not include some of them. The design once more deserves an oscar and i mean it. Many people like these phones just like others like smartphones. Since Microsoft's Nokia sells millions of them it is not a shame to release this kind of phones. Many will use it as a secondary phone because of it's battery and some other poor people or uninterested in high specs will buy it too... I think 216 is a good movement and i dont know any other known and trustworthy brand that gives so much things with so little money. As a conclusion i would say that the real shame goes to Apple that misses basic features while their phone is so expensive.Also the biggest shame goes to Samsung for releasing Galaxy 7 note with big battery problem.Because of it's battery many people lived a true horror and unfortunately get injured. It isn't fair to write about shame here in Nokia's page.You should write about shame in the page of Samsung after all this tragic incidents galaxy note 7 caused. As for me i'm thinking to buy Nokia 216 since you can even download free games.I like the mint colour very much.

  • It reminds me of some old sony ericsson models.

  • better processor for improved response time just like the nokia of old when they still use symbian os. these new feature phone are a bit sluggish and it is noticeable. it's a bit irritating that you type faster than the letters being displayed.

  • change camera to 16mp back & front 8mp, add wifi.

  • The only reason why nokia is falling down is because they made an indestructible phone, so when they release some new device People will think, "oh my old nokia phone still working and do his job there's no reason to buy a new one" :p But seriously I hope they come back, and made some android phone. I think it will be great for them.

  • stunning design! ] which gives us more peaceful life -- this or non-camera / no music player(no microSD) phone

  • Primary Camara VGA (0.3MP), Why LED flash ? ...Lol

  • Microsoft no longer owns Nokia, the 2 parts of the company feature phone and smart phone were sold to 2 different companies. The OS looks like Symbian. I will pick one of these up, it will be a good work phone. This phone is designed for calls and texts and maybe music considering you can use 32GB mSD card but pretty much nothing else, which, suits me perfectly fine 😀

  • it is a same bull shit asha softwear phone like nokia on the way hell

  • This nokia is awesome looking. nice

  • i was hoping that they would release an upgrade of the 225. the 230 was actually a downgrade. bigger memory for sms storage and contacts, bigger battery and flashlight using cree led (or equivalnet). symbian os? can skip bluetooth, wap browser, games.

  • no use of launching mobiles with all repeated features,it is a sure failure, i insist n suggest nokia to produce improved+modified vergions of asha 300 touch n type, c2-01,6233,etc.,with larger screen [2.8 or more],video calling facilitiy,which will have huge demand n greater response...try nokia...

  • better you buy a Nokia 208 which mean u luck if u still can get a new one in your country because Nokia 208 is Series 40 latest edition so you can install java apps

  • does it have snake game??

  • i bought the nokia 108 and just 1 drop from about 3 feet and the screen spoiled and wont turn on..this is seriously not nokia quality but microsoft low quality

  • The best comment I have read in 2016 on gsmarena.

  • Just want N515 :(

  • it has auto call recording???? & in which memory saved call recording data?????

  • If these phones are being sold for next to nothing to less fortunate people who cannot afford to buy any means of a wireless device than great job. If not, and this is for the masses then I ask WHY??? this is not even 2005 tech.

  • Microsoft have owned Nokia for about 2 or 3 years now... This is nothing new, hence why they stopped making Android nokia phones and they all went Windows based... Seems they've now seen that was a bad move as they might be returning to droid.

  • Why MS releasing phones in Nokia's label? I bought a 215 about a year or so ago, thought Nokia still made, but its a hybrid type of MS-Nokia phone and a pathetic device, poor call quality and all, darn!

  • 2G bands GSM 900 / 1800 - SIM 1 & SIM 2 (dual-SIM model only) GPRS Up to 85.6 kbps EDGE Up to 236.8 kbps

  • A shame that Microsoft/Nokia still produce devices that are already deprecated once released. They keep creating electronic waste by releasing cellphones that are barely different from each other. One might have a 2MP camera but no WIFI, the other has WIFI but only 0.3MP. Don't support this type of business.

  • Thought I'd read 16GB RAM O.O haha

  • I have the nokia 215 which can only store around 100 text messages, so i have to keep deleting them. Please tell me this is fixed in this version?

  • This phone is for people (like me) that want a phone to call people, text people and thats it.... if you want to watch a film watch it on a tv, want to listen to music, listen to a radio.stereo..... this is why this phone will be cheap as chips. If you lose it on a night out, tough, get another..... no big deal.

  • Nowaday, nobody like to use such of keypad, nobody wanna buy a devices without wifi & the display too small not suitable for old person. Its look like NOKIA (NO MORE CONNECTING PEOPLE) ANYMORE.

  • It should have the java latest version.

  • I'm glad Nokia is keeping us posted that they still exist. I pray they come up with something serious soon!!

  • WHY so Beautiful ?? :(( if its manufacturer was Real Nokia I will buy 2 of it one for me and one for dad ~ 74Dollar ... and see all day it's Design So Beautiful Mint Color so so so beautiful toke my heart better than V10 - Mate8 and ... but unfortunately build by my Microsoft's Nokia that has bad result phone @ Feature btw nowadays there is no good feature phone like: Nokia N Series @flagship Nokia 6300 @mid-range & Nokia 1280 @non-camera low range best feature phone build by Samsung (metro series and c3590) after that other companies such as S30+ Nokia (not S30-S40-S60 Original Nokias) Hope See Nokia at Feature phones ... if not i go buy Nokia 216 or Samsung B350 / Metro 360 or A good Non-camera

  • How the hell does it have access to Apps if it has no WLAN? This looks like a pay as you go phone right? who in their right mind is going to use the internet like that on this phone?

  • wow it have 3.5mm headphone jack..something a fruit company knows nothing about except making money

  • Will It support Telugu language??

  • shut up and take my money

  • microsoft

  • There are similar elements with Nokia 222 in terms of design,just look the colour matched keys. Nokia 216 is a beautiful phone and the mint colour is something new. Generally the 216 is based to Nokia 230 which is propably the best phone that came out from Microsoft's Nokia... The truth is that 216 is a downgraded version of 230 but judging the specs along with the price the Nokia 216 is a very good bargain because with 37$ you get two basic cameras ,led flash,radio,nice design,physical keypad for fast texting,display 2.4 inches and the most important you can even browse and download games from Opera mini store. Don't forget the good battery that feature phones include. I'm using 230 which is a good phone but i miss notes...propably 216 will miss notes too and this is a disadvantage. Don't listen to people who says that you can't download apps and games. In my 230 i have downloaded many free and excellent games like mini soccer,super ludo,brick challenge and other excellent games. Overall to return to the discussion about Nokia 216 i think that is a good phone for it's price and i also think that feature phones are necessary for everyone. This is a Microsoft's Nokia device and soon more Nokia devices will be released but this time from Hmd/Foxconn/Nokia. Nokia is the gift that keeps on giving and even Nokia feature phones sells millions and that's why Microsoft released one more...

  • It has a headphone jack!!!

  • can we expect whatsapp on this phone

  • Please produce classic phone with HD voice support it very improves the sound quality which is very important for older people

  • Can u download n use whatsapp

  • can i use reliance jio sim card in it for calling? or since it doesnt have 4g, calls cant be placed using jio.

  • Good design, best for entry level.Thank you Nokia

  • no its 4 g...lol

  • it means - volume of the case - 77 cm3

  • Microsoft has announced the launch its new features phone Nokia 216 Dual SIM at Rs 2,495. The smartphone is available in black, grey, and blue colour variants.

  • Do nokia still have agreement with stupid microsaft

  • Simple for beta test, but : 4me : Nokia 216 > all Apple's smart phones. 1020 mAh for 2.4" √ Micro SD card up to 32 GB √ Stereo FM radio √ 3.5mm Jack √ Lovely too :) ...

  • finally new nokia phone has come out, so this is from microsoft or new nokia?

  • Whatsapp will work ????????

  • My 2007 feature phone performs better than this.

  • for people saying the Nokia failed to live up to their big promise after their announcements, you clowns really are casual users that has no idea what you are talking about, this basic phone is from Microsoft Nokia, Nokia Finland still has a contract with them until the end of this month and this year, Nokia Finland will be identified if you see a Nokia with an Android OS, research first before opening your lazy mouth keyboard warriors

  • Does it have 3 G technology?

  • nokia starting :D

  • What is meaning of 71.7 cc in dimensions?

  • hope they release phone similar to this but you can access facebook and messenger even if its only a mobile data or with wifi if possible

  • this is cool maybe they will use selfie os well come back NOKIA

  • never 4got u nokia.

  • looks nice for a budget phone ^_^ hope it sells as expected though i'm guessing it shouldn't be A LOT

  • welcome back Nokia. I hope Nokia use another OS as well asides from Android. windows 10, sailfish, ubuntu, tizen, they are all lighter than Android on resource usage.

  • Release the nokia smartphone as soon as possible we are waiting so long years

  • i want 1 , actually 2 .... one for my wife ............i guess many people want to welcome nokia phone , and smart phone too
