Nokia Asha 210 Review

For more details, check out our web site: www.phonearena.com/reviews/Nok...
Nokia Asha 210 is clearly targeting heavy texters and IM junkies with its physical portrait QWERTY, WiFi and WhatsApp integration deep in the contact book. It also has the Nokia Slam feature for sharing images and videos via Bluetooth without having to pair first. Will these be enough to attract the teen crowd, where the candy colors of the Asha 210 seem targeted at? Read on to find out...

Nokia is far more expensive than samsung :) just saying. Ive been a nokia user before samsung came.

No nonsense, good quality, balanced review...I bought an Asha 210 on the strength of it and will look for other reviews by this person

[@kibetisack]

Does it operate on WhatsApp?

[@ConsoleHandheldGamer]

I wish they'd release an updated version with kaios, I'd buy it.

[@johnkelly60278]

I'm all for it. I haven't seen any physical qwerty phones aside from refurbished Nokias.

[@darzelizam8404]

Would love a phone like this in 2020 with 4G, google maps and whatsapp video calling. It looks beautiful as well!

[@salahgoogleeisa9158]

all of this but whatsapp videocalling are availible in kai os

[@augustusmunyao444]

How much is the current cost?

[@augustusmunyao444]

Where may I get it ?

[@elizadelacruz5365]

The design is actually cute, and very eye catching, but it terms of the user interface, it seems that it has the same UI as Nokia Asha 302, maybe faster, but the same. But even so, the design is amazing!

[@wiloaleman]

I have one, still being usable as a second phone, it's amazing. 🥰

[@nathanph212]

Used to have that phone and i loved it

[@marcsw5000]

I have this as my work phone. Love it!

[@transporter002]

were you able to configure email/exchange server on it ?

[@JDMperformance]

That design is timeless!

[@auroravenancio8346]

I have one from back in the days when they first came out, so its ten years old and still sturdy, never had any problems with it, until now: I accidentally poured water on it and now the menu button seems to be done with it... I'll give it a few days. While I was googling to see how old it actually was, I was pleasantly surprised to see it's still in production 🎉 If this white one I have decided to quit, I think I will go for Yellow 💛

[@asifstudypoint587k6]

One Of the Best And Favourit Phone

[@sevenepicloomers9992]

Got this phone today!!! So good

[@candyflossstrawberry]

You have to go to the music player and use the up-down keys on the directional pad to adjust the volume. Otherwise, for the phone volume, assign one shortcut on the home screen to the 'volume' and change it from there.

[@alih84411]

It was a wonderful phone in his day

[@sayanmalakar8438]

A phone from simpler times when we didn't had to carry huge glass slabs and had time to communicate with our loved ones.

Hmm, the phone looks good. I was actually thinking of buying a phone that has wifi. In that case, it exceeds my expectations!!!

[@mahmoudahmed-jc8ib]

I had this phone it is very beautiful and durable

[@sizkar9]

can you assign individual ringtones AND text message tones to contacts so that each person can have their own tone? thanks

[@axrs550]

i'd like to know how much of a difference there is between this asha 210 and the 501, not just specs but user experience, thanks :)

[@SproutyPottedPlant]

I like it! It's no smart phone but it will communicate and get the phone functions done with accuracy and long battery life.

[@bennartey3409]

@HazeMachtBlau...its programmable. Asha 210's in India have a WhatsApp button, EMEA have Facebook button and others have a Twitter button. But its really programmable, even to open other non-social media apps like your music player :)

[@vhogunk80]

it looks good...

[@ThaGamerFoxx]

It's actually a really good phone. I've had a blackberry and currently this. To be honest, if you want better quality and more apps etc. Go for the blackberry. But if your like me and only use social networks and texting, go for the asha and save yourself a good 100$

[@candyflossstrawberry]

What do you guys feel about the keys on this device? I tried it out at the Nokia showroom and the keys were quite hard at times but I was flying while typing comfortably at other times. It was a pretty mixed experience. Although the message composer was a bit slow (it sometimes didn't register the key presses at the same time as I was typing), it felt okay. It didn't miss out on any of the letters. I'm still thinking which one to purchase, the asha 201 or the 210. Any ideas?

[@francofigueredo6395]

its beautiful!

[@johndoolan1840]

Does the phone feature a notification light feature at all? I have read a few comments online stating that the keyboard 'blinks' or glows regarding any missed calls/messages. However on reading the online manual, this is not mentioned at all. Thanks.

[@fajar8230]

good design,. simple and functional...

How do you install the USB Mass Storage for Nokia Asha 210 to the computer it just keeps saying "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED" or code 43

[@saikat7108]

Is it market in available in 2022? 🥰

[@treversMMA]

still nice to see people making keyboards

[@rickythekid]

For those dissing this phone because it's not on par with other smartphones, I hope you're aware of the Nokia Lumia series. The Asha series is targetting heavy texters who like using the qwerty interface much like the Blackberry Curve models.

[@navyasprasad]

Thanks for the Review :-)

[@siditude78]

does it have the FM transmitter? If yes I would love to replace my x2-02 with this one. QWERTY are my favorites!

[@freakshow3945]

Just want to ask, how much is the duration of the video & voice recording of this? Is the audio recording of this good/ high quality or what?

[@freakshow3945]

I know im a lil bit late but just want to ask some random question cos i know someone who uses this phone.

[@silverwoodlawn4913]

Mic. / Recording is pretty badic with not much to expect. Vid/rec. Timer depends on space in SD Card, and as long as I remember, it had 23:00hrs max time

[@BenjaminLee2009]

If you want Wi-Fi, go for 210. I have the 210 for about 2 months now and I'm loving it. But I've seen a couple of pictures of 201 and it kinda looks nicer than 210. That's just my opinion. The 201 came out like a year ago but it has everything that the 210 has, except Wi-Fi.

[@c.sam3843]

This was my first phone!!!!:-*

[@quirklessstudio]

I've got a Lumia 920 and I'm actually considering buying this as a secondary phone just for fun, it looks really good for its price. Be honest kids, if you get a cheap android phone your experience will just be really lame so think practical. I know this because I experience this first hand everyday whenever my friends show their low end androids that lag and are still more expensive that this. Even the 501 is smoother than those lagdroids

[@taniakiilowa7581]

My phone is very cool . Congratilations !!!!! :) :D

I have been using Nokia Asha 210 for quite long time. Just of a sudden, after full internet connected, but facebook, twetter, whatsapp, calculator stopped worked. Please any assistance from you?

Does this whatsapp support audio call feature just like normal android whatapp call?

The dual sim version comes with the facebook key while the single sim version comes with the whatsapp key. I live in India and there is no sign of the phone with a whatsapp key.

Can u get it in the US and for metro PCS?

[@n00bwolf15]

This is actually a decent phone for teens that really want to txt. Some teens just don't want the really fancy phones. Also the keyboard on touch screen phones can get annoying sometimes. So...yea it's not a really fancy phone, but it's still decent

[@lucamibel]

Very nice phone

[@prettycurls3529]

This phone came out in 2013 i got this phone in 2014 and it is amazing . I mean like this little phone has so much about it. Its 2018 rn I even dropped the phone in the toilet in 2017 and its still working i didn't have toput it in rice or anything i just put it to stand up and the water drained up. THIS PHONE IS A FREAKING KEEPER. Im sure its not going to fail me anytime soon.
