A good entry-level phone that has nothing fancy is the Nokia 107. It's great for making calls, sending text messages, playing audio and listening to the radio. All in all, the perfect combination of minimal cost and functionality.
Scope of delivery, appearance and usability
Although the device is an entry-level one, it has quite a good bundle. In addition to the Nokia 107 itself, the boxed version of this device includes the following accessories:
- Sufficiently capacious 1020 mAh battery.
- Standard stereo headset with good sound quality.
- Regular charger with round plug.
- User's manual with warranty card at the end.
- Certificate of conformity for this device.
The only thing really missing from the above list is memory cards. It will have to be purchased separately for additional material resources. A similar situation with the protectivefilm and cover. But you can't count on the appearance of such accessories in an entry-level device. The length of the device is 112.9mm and the width is 47.5mm. At the same time, its thickness is 14.9 mm, and the weight of the mobile phone is 75.8 g. Although these characteristics are not so important for the buyer. Like most entry-level devices from this Finnish manufacturer, the Nokia 107 is nothing out of the ordinary. Standard plastic housing with an intuitive interface. The keyboard is made of rubber and is very similar to the one in the 1200s. As expected, she has a bright enough flashlight.
What is in the device?
Modest, as in modern times, this device has a display. Its diagonal is only 1.8 inches, and the resolution is 160 by 128 pixels. At the same time, it is based on an outdated - both morally and physically - matrix made using the STN technology. It is capable of displaying a maximum of 65 thousand shades. There are no cameras, as expected in a device of this class. The built-in memory is only 4 MB. For making calls, storing contacts and sending and receiving text messages, this volume is enough. But to reveal the multimedia capabilities of this phone, this is not enough. Installing a flash card in the appropriate slot solves this problem, but, as noted earlier, you will have to buy it separately.
Another problem: the microUSB port in this device is not provided, as well as other wireless transmission methods. That's whyin this case, you can fill an external drive only on a personal computer with a card reader. One of the main advantages of this device is the support of 2 SIM cards. Do they work in constant switching mode? and when talking on one of them, the second is out of range. This problem can of course be solved with a redirect.
Battery and autonomy
Nokia 107's autonomy is pretty good. In this regard, it has the following characteristics:
- 12, 7 hours of continuous communication on 2nd generation networks. Other mobile communication standards are not supported by this gadget.
- 24 days on standby is a theoretical figure, since it is quite problematic to go without calls for such a long time.
- When using your phone as an MP3 player, one battery charge will last for 34 hours of listening.
In reality, the declared capacity is enough for 4-7 days of autonomy, depending on the intensity of use. This is an excellent indicator for an entry-level mobile phone with a modest diagonal and support for 2 SIM cards.
Reviews of the owners and the cost of the gadget
Nokia 107 DUAL SIM has been on sale for over a year now. There are reviews about it on almost every information resource on this subject. The strengths of this gadget are:
- Loud and good quality speaker.
- Strong vibrating alert.
- Full FM radio support (only works with stereo headset).
- High degree of autonomy.
- Stable and reliable firmware.
- High-quality body assembly: there are no backlashes in it, as well as creaking.
There are also disadvantages of Nokia 107. Reviews highlight these of them:
- No camera. Only one thing can be said here: an economy-class phone, and the developers decided not to install at least some. Let there be nothing better. At the same time, the cost of the gadget has significantly decreased because of this.
- Cannot transfer data. There are only 2 connectors that are used to charge the battery and the stereo. Again, do not forget that this is a budget segment device? and nothing more can be expected from him.
Finally, it is necessary to note the cost of a mobile phone, which currently leaves 25 dollars, which is quite an acceptable indicator.
CV
Nokia 107 is a great phone for every day with normal autonomy, minimal functionality and affordable price. It is best for those who need a device with an MP3 player, radio and flashlight. It is also a great daily dialer.
