Nokia 107: an excellent workhorse

A good entry-level phone with nothing superfluous is the Nokia 107. It's great for making calls, sending text messages, playing audio and listening to the radio. In general, the ideal combination of minimum cost and functionality.

Scope of delivery, appearance and user-friendliness

Although the device and the entry level, but it has a fairly good bundle. In addition to the Nokia 107 itself, the box version of this device includes such accessories:

• A capacious enough battery in 1020 mAh.

• A standard stereo headset with good sound quality.

• The usual charger with a round plug.

• User's manual, at the end of which there is a warranty card.

• Certificate of Conformity for this device.

The only thing that is really missing in the above list is the memory card. It will have to be bought separately for additional material means. A similar situation with a protective film and cover. But it is not necessary to count on the appearance of such accessories in the device of the initial level. The length of the device is 112.9 mm, and the width is 47.5 mm. 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, Nokia 107 can not boast of anything unusual. Standard plastic case with an intuitive interface. The keyboard is made of rubber and very similar to the one that was in the 1200-m. As it should, she has a bright enough flashlight.

What is in the device?

Modest, as at the present 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 At the same time, it is based on the outdated - both morally and physically - a matrix manufactured using the "STN" technology. It is capable of displaying a maximum of 65,000 shades. Cameras, as expected in the device of this class, no. The built-in memory is only 4 MB. To make calls, store contacts and send and receive text messages of this size is quite enough. But to expand the multimedia capabilities of this phone, this is not enough. Installing a flash card in the corresponding slot allows you to solve this problem, but here it, as already noted earlier, will have to be bought separately.

Another problem: the microUSB port in this device is not provided, as well as other wireless transmission methods. Therefore, you can fill an external drive in this case 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 the mode of constant switching? And when talking on one of them the second is outside the access zone. This problem can, of course, be solved by redirecting.

Battery and autonomy

The situation with Nokia 107 is quite good. The characteristics in this respect are the following:

• 12.7 hours of continuous communication in the networks of the 2nd generation. The rest of the mobile standards are not supported by this gadget.

• 24 days in standby mode is a theoretical indicator, since it is quite problematic to dispense with calls for such a long time.

• When using the phone as an MP3 player, one battery charge is enough for 34 hours of listening.

In reality, the declared capacity will last for 4-7 days of autonomy, depending on the intensity of use. This is an excellent indicator for a mobile phone of the initial class with a modest diagonal and support for 2 SIM cards.

Owner feedback and gadget cost

For more than a year Nokia 107 DUAL SIM has been sold. Reviews about it are on almost every information resource of this subject. The strengths of this gadget are:

• Loud and sufficiently high-quality speaker.

• A strong vibrating alert.

• Full support for FM radio (works only with a stereo headset).

• High degree of autonomy.

• Stable and reliable firmware.

• Qualitative assembly of the case: there are no backlashes in it, just like creaking.

There are also downsides to the Nokia 107. Reviews highlight these of them:

• Lack of camera. Here you can only say one thing: an economy class phone, and the developers decided not to put at least some. Let it be better that no one will. At the same time and the cost of the gadget because of this has decreased significantly.

• There is no data transfer capability. There are only 2 connectors that are used to charge the battery and stereo system. Again, do not forget that this is a budget segment device? And something more can not be expected from him.

Finally, it is necessary to note the cost of the mobile phone, which currently leaves $ 25, which is quite an acceptable indicator.

Summary

Nokia 107 is a great phone for every day with normal autonomy, minimal functionality and a democratic price. It is best for those who need a device with an MP3 player, a radio and a flashlight. Also it is an excellent "dialer" for every day.
