Unlike the older variant, the new one is lightweight and you get a flashlight as well. There are both single and dual SIM models are available.
A 2 MP camera is available to take a snap if you need. But don’t compare the quality with flagship cameras.
We all know the internal memory of 16 MB isn’t enough. So Nokia has provided us with a slot to pop in an SD card. You can expand the storage up to 32 GB.
In order to make you entertained, they have given the MP3 capabilities to the device. A 3.5 mm headphone jack is present on it.
The charging is not via the conventional charging port. You have to use a regular micro USB charging cable for that.
