Nokia 150 (2020)

The Nokia 150 (2020) is for people who want a simple phone for calls and SMS, but its 1,020 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries in phones of its time. This is a basic handset rather than a smartphone: it handles calls and messages, and includes MP3 playback, FM radio, and a loudspeaker.

Its TFT LCD display measures 2.4″, with 167 ppi density among the lowest in phones launched around the same time. At 90.5 g, it is among the lightest, while its 15 mm thickness is among the greatest. The listed figures are up to 19 h of talk time and 560 h of standby time. Battery capacity is among the lowest of its time, making it the main compromise for anyone prioritizing battery capacity.

Connectivity is also among the most limited: GSM works on the 900 and 1800 bands, and two Mini-SIM cards can be used in Dual SIM Dual Standby. Bluetooth 3.0, USB 2.0, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and FM radio are included. The 4 MB of storage is expandable, and the built-in MP3 player handles music playback.

Overall, the Nokia 150 (2020) suits people who need calls, SMS, and straightforward audio features in a lightweight phone. Battery capacity and connectivity are its clearest compromises against phones of its time.
