Key Features of Nokia 220 4G and Nokia 235 4G
Despite their compact size and entry-level price, both phones pack a surprisingly capable feature set.
Display, Camera, and Entertainment
Both handsets sport a 2.8-inch IPS QVGA display with a large, square shape that makes reading messages and browsing menus easy. The Nokia 235 4G adds a 2MP rear camera with LED flash — handy for quick snapshots. The Nokia 220 4G skips the camera but includes a built-in torch, which is a practical alternative for everyday use.
Entertainment is well catered for. Both phones support YouTube playback, an MP3 player, and FM Radio (playable with earphones or wirelessly). Nokia fans will also be pleased to find the iconic Snake game pre-installed — a nostalgic touch that never gets old.
Connectivity and Battery
Modern connectivity is a genuine highlight. Both devices include Bluetooth 5.0, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port for charging — a welcome upgrade over older Micro-USB feature phones. Dual SIM support means 4G service is available on both SIM slots simultaneously.
A 1,450 mAh battery powers each device, with HMD claiming up to 9.8 hours of talk time. For a phone used primarily for calls, messages, and occasional media, that should comfortably last a full day.
UPI Payments Without a Smartphone
One of the standout features of these new Nokia button phones is the inclusion of a preloaded UPI app approved by NPCI. This allows users to send and receive money digitally without needing a smartphone — a meaningful benefit for first-time digital payment users or those upgrading from a basic 2G device. Both SIM slots support 4G, so UPI transactions are fast and reliable.
