Design

The Nokia 200 phone boasts a wide choice of body colors - 8 options for different tastes: bright pink, aquamarine, green, tender pink, blue, orange, black and pearly white. Dimensions of the model 20 x 11.5 x 0.6 cm, weight 105 g.

The body is smoothly rounded and made of nice glossy plastic that does not leave a feeling of cheapness and does not creak in the hands.

To the model were issued no less colorful silicone cases for protection from scratches.

The delivery kit is rather modest - the phone itself, the charging cable, the headphones, the instruction manual, and there is no cable for connecting to the computer.

The 2.4-inch QVGA TFT display with a resolution of 320 by 240 pixels looks pretty clear and colorful.

Unfortunately, Nokia 200 does not have a sensor that adjusts the brightness of the screen depending on the lighting.

The screen is separated from the keyboard by a strip with navigation buttons and standard buttons for receiving / ending a call.

At the top there is a headphone jack, USB, charging, and on the right there is a SIM card slot and a microSD card.

Keyboard

This is the main feature of the model. The keys are clearly delineated and separated, making them easy to locate and press. The backlighting is pretty old, so with the Nokia 200 it's easy to work in the dark. Ordinary letters are drawn in white, and numbers and special symbols are in orange. The rows of keys are rounded. Fans of communication in social networks and e-mail will quickly learn to type text on Nokia 200 at a high speed.

The numeric keys are duplicated in the center of the keyboard, the numbers from 2 to 9 can be set to speed dial certain numbers.
