Nokia 215 4G feature phone offers long battery life, games, wireless FM radio and a durable, ergonomic design - black

This phone was exactly what we needed, however 2 things to mention for UK based shoppers given this is sourced from the EU: 1) USB-C power supply is 2 pin EU standard plug; 2) the T9 predictive text feature does not have English as a supported language.

Looks and feels very cheap, poor quality material, not really what you get from a genuine Nokia, it broke after only 2 days of use, wouldn’t connect to the network or read the SIM card. The plastic was coming off and the lights would only partially light up on the keyboard. Extremely disappointed. Fast delivery though.

A simple retro feel feature phone which has the basic functions of a phone for those looking for a smart phone alternative. For us, this was a good option for our 12 year old who needed a way to communicate with us now she has a bit more independence at high school, but without all the issues that go with giving children access to social media and multi messaging apps. It’s also a good value option for a phone as it’s fairly budget friendly. The phone itself is what you’d expect from a Nokia - compact, robust and lightweight. It’s actually a really good size for a pocket and the colour choice is modern. Features: - phone and sms messaging - mp3 player (needed an SD card to facilitate this effectively) -2MP camera: totally acceptable for basic photos for a 12 year old - snake game (so much fun!) - alarms, timers, calendar and other basic features - internet access via 4G (no Wi-Fi capability) but it’s not really designed for web browsing - Bluetooth compatible Points to note: - old school texting required (3 letters per number key) but use of predictive text function makes this fairly easy to use after a few tries. My daughter quickly picked it up fine. - comes with a European plug. Not a biggie as it’s a USB -C connector so universally found in most homes these days. - instructions in Hungarian (?). Again, not a biggie as readily available in English via quick internet search - some game apps require a purchase but annoyingly cannot he deleted (why??) but can be moved so we just moved them off the Home Screen and advised our daughter to not use them. Would be better if you could hide these though so it is one niggle I have. Overall this is a good option for a first phone for what we want for our 12 year old. There is a gap in the market for good teenage focused non smart phones but this works with a few minor niggles. She can contact us and friends easily, but is not being given access to lots of social media and applications that we want to keep her from. It functions well for a basic phone and the mp3 player lifts this for my daughter who enjoys listening to music on it. It’s also a much cheaper option as the monthly sim deal we got was only a few pounds due to not requiring lots of data for the phone. Setup with the SIM was super simple and the SD card was easy enough to insert too to add more memory. It also holds it charge well too though the mp3 player does reduce time between charges if used a lot. Still significantly better battery life than my smart phone though! All in all not a bad basic phone option

We'll have to buy something else - wish we'd returned it in time. Comes autoloaded with Alipay and other apps in Chinese that can't be removed. Very little storage, it can hold barely any texts. Feels flimsy, and the call quality isn't great.

Perfect phone and good quality

Terrible. 1 or 2 keys don't work. Frequently can't hear during calls. Short battery life.

for a feature phone its great, a quarter of the weight of my normal phone, it fits in my pocket, I don't have to update the apps all the time, and it works, voice and texts are enough.

PP. Don't buy. The older Microsoft-owned Nokia was devices were better. The first Nokia that Microsoft didn't buy yet, was even better still. But not Nokia now. Sorry about that.
