Nokia 230 (2024)

The Nokia 230 (2024) is for people who want a basic phone for calls and messages, with simple extras such as FM radio and an MP3 player. Its main trade-offs are a 2.8-inch display, a 1,450 mAh battery, limited storage, and low camera resolution.

The TFT LCD display has a 4:3 aspect ratio, 240 × 320 px resolution, and 143 ppi density. That density is among the lowest of phones of its time, and the display occupies 36.5% of the front, also among the lowest screen-to-body ratios. The body measures 124.6 × 53.4 × 10.9 mm; it is thicker than most phones of its time. Storage is 16 GB and expandable. Both the rear and front cameras have 2 MP resolution; the rear camera also has an LED flash and slow-motion video.

The removable 1,450 mAh Li-Ion battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time. For communication, the phone supports Dual Nano-SIM and GSM on the 900 and 1800 bands. Other basics include Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, a loudspeaker, and FM radio. The Nokia 230 (2024) suits anyone seeking a straightforward phone for calls, messages, and basic functions; its clearest limitations are its display, storage, camera resolution, and battery capacity.
