Nokia has presented the new Nokia 100 , a simple terminal aimed at an audience that does not want to complicate with sophisticated phones. The Nokia 100 is not a smartphone , it will not allow us to connect to the internet, use GPS or download applications. It is a mobile like the ones from "before" , the kind we used to call and send text messages. In this sense, those of Espoo have created a perfect device for the work to be carried out, without superfluous elements.
Nokia is currently introducing many high-end phones with very high performance. But the Finns are not market leaders precisely because of this, but rather because they cover all sectors; from the highest range , through the intermediate , to the cheapest terminals , such as the Nokia 100. The mobile will hit the market next December at the affordable price of 20 euros.
Design and display
The Nokia 100 has a rectangular shape, with rounded edges, and is very compact and light (just 70 grams). The front is shared by the screen -in the upper part- and a numeric keyboard in the lower area, with independent keys to make it more comfortable when dialing a number or sending a text message. The construction is quite solid, which gives it strength and durability. An LED diode has been included in the upper part of the phone that will act as a flashlight . The Nokia 100 isavailable in five colors to suit your taste: dark blue, light blue, pink, black and red.
Regarding the screen , it has a diagonal size of 1.8 inches with a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels and a density of 65,000 colors. The terminal includes 20 pre-installed themes so that we can change the look of the mobile to our liking.
Connections
The terminal operates on dual band GSM networks. As we have already said, the Nokia 100 is a mobile to call and send messages.

Multimedia
