- Analysis by KJ David
The 2019 Nokia 210 is an undistinguished call-and-text model that, like many other basic phones out there, comes with a tiny 2.4-inch 320 x 240 QVGA screen 
coupled with a 16MB memory , the latter being somewhat the bare minimum for phones within this category. The absence of a microSD card slot in its specs list also sounds like a con to watch out for, if only because a few of its cousins under Nokia's feature phone lineup come with memory card slots for multimedia storage.
The 210, which, by the way, reminds us of some popular senior-friendly models, is powered by a MediaTek MT6260A CPU that's just about satisfactory for a basic phone with its kind of pros and cons. It feeds off a 1020mAh battery whose 18-hour maximum talk time 
and 20-day standby time passed the corresponding average values as of this Phonerated review. Those scores might also come off as reassuring for users who plan to use it as a backup to their smartphones.
A couple of its appreciable pros include its basic Opera Mini browser for some light web browsing and Facebook app . It also comes preloaded with Snake, for those who want to wind back the clock for a bit of nostalgia. The 210 offers a 0.3-megapixel (aka VGA) camera that obviously sounds prehistoric compared to the already-basic cameras sported by models like the 3310 4G and the 8110 4G.
Joining the mix is an FM radio, an MP3 player, and two mini SIM card slots , with Nokia's proprietary S30+ platform rounding out its technical pros and cons.

So, donning a typical (among basic phones) polycarbonate shell and a coating of either Black, Red, or Charcoal, the Nokia 210 caters to users who are shopping for a basic call-and-text phone either for aging relatives or as a backup device.
On-paper Review rating: 
We are unimpressed by the amount of storage memory they put in the 210. On such a phone, we would prefer.
A 0.3-megapixel is hardly enough for decent photos, particularly when you take into account the fact that so many cheap camera phones make higher-resolution pictures.

Does it feature memory expansion? Despite our efforts, we couldn't find out.
Be it because Nokia didn't list the information on its web site or because we were unable to find it, but we don't know the SAR rating (radiation level) for the 210, so we cannot say how close it is to the acceptable limit.

It's frustrating that we were not able to find information about its weight.
