Nokia went official with the Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G on October 10 with the Nokia 215 5G going on pre-order the same day. However, the Nokia 225 was scheduled to open for pre-order on October 17. The presale is now live on Jingdong (JD), a day earlier than expected.

Intending buyers in China can pre-order the Nokia 225 4G from Jingdong. The phone carried a price tag of 349 yuan (~$) but with a presale deposit of 1 yuan, you get 20 yuan off the final price which comes down to 320 yuan.

Nokia 225 4G is the successor to the Nokia 220 4G which has been a top-selling feature phone. The Nokia 225 4G is still a feature phone with a nine-grid physical button design. It weighs only 90g and has a dimension of 124.7mm x 51mm x 13.7mm.

In terms of the build, the Nokia 225 packs a compact body and is comfortable to hold. The fuselage is made of classic polycarbonate and is available in black, blue and sand gold.

Nokia 225 4G uses a 2.4-inch screen. It is powered by a low-power UNISOC processor and supports up to 32GB memory card. At the rear, there is a 3MP  single camera. The phone also has a flashlight.

The most outstanding feature is the support for 4G connectivity. The phone also features dual nano-SIM card slots and supports the two SIM cards running on 4G at the same time. Other features include quick dialling (8 numbers can be set), voice recorder, external radio, etc. The classic “Snake” game is also pre-installed.

HMD Global has launched two new Nokia-branded feature phones with 4G connectivity in China. These handsets go by the name of Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G respectively. The former model costs 289 yuan ($43) and is already up for pre-order, whereas the latter is priced at 349 yuan ($52) and will be available for pre-order starting October 17.

The newly launched Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G come with T9 island-style numeric keypad like any other feature phone. But what makes them stand out is the support for 4G connectivity along with VoLTE for HD calls.

The cheaper model lacks the VGA camera present on the costlier model and its design is generic. On the other hand, the second model features a sort of premium design but still, both are made of polycarbonate.

Common features between the two include support for 4G connectivity on all the three major carriers in China, microSD card slot (up to 32GB), FM Radio, and LED flash. Unfortunately, we could not find other specs of these phones. We will try to update this article once we get hold on them.
