The dual-SIM (Nano) Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G feature 2.4-inch LCD displays surrounded by thick bezels. Both the phones feature a 3.5mm audio jack, Wireless FM Radio, an MP3 player, and a flashlight. You get 4G TD-LTE VoLTE connectivity, Bluetooth support, and a Micro-USB port for charging. The battery is removable as well. You get a physical T9 keybaord that has been a staple of feature phones. The storage is expandable (up to 32GB) as well.
