Microsoft Unveiled The Nokia 216 Phone
Microsoft unveiled its latest Nokia 216 feature phone, at basic device that will be available in India next month for around $37.
Despite announcing plans to sell its feature phone business to FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Foxconn, for $350 million earlier this year, Microsoft is still launching new Nokia phones. Microsoft hinted earlier this year that it's planning to kill off its Lumia smartphones, and recent rumors have suggested that the Lumia brand will die off towards the end of the year.
In any case, the new Nokia 216 includes a 2.4-inch QVGA display, with 0.3-megapixel cameras at the front and rear, running on the Series 30 OS with the Opera mini browser. It even has a headphone jack.
Rumors suggest that Microsoft is planning a Surface-branded phone for next year.
