Exploring the Nokia 2720 Fold: A Feature Phone from 2009
In the fast-paced world of technology, it's easy to become caught up in the latest and greatest devices. However, it's important to take a step back and appreciate the devices that paved the way for our current devices. One such device is the Nokia 2720 fold.
About the Device
The Nokia 2720 fold is a feature phone released by Nokia in September 2009. It weighs 90.3g and has a thickness of 17.9mm, making it a compact and lightweight device. It has 9MB of storage and does not have a card slot for expandable storage.
Network and Operating System
The Nokia 2720 fold operates on GSM technology and supports 2G bands GSM 900/1800 and GSM 850/1900 for users in the USA. It also has GPRS and EDGE capabilities. Unlike many of today's smartphones, the Nokia 2720 fold operates on a feature phone operating system, meaning it has limited functions and runs basic applications.
Display and Memory
The device features a 1.8-inch TFT display with 65k colors and a resolution of 120 x 160 pixels, resulting in a screen-to-body ratio of 23.5%. It also has a second external monochrome display with a size of 1.36 inches and a resolution of 128 x 160 pixels. In terms of memory, the device has 9MB of internal storage and can store up to 500 contacts in the phonebook and 20 entries each for calls made, received, and missed.
Camera and Sound
The main camera on the Nokia 2720 fold is 1.3MP and can record videos at CIF@15fps. However, it does not have a selfie camera. It has a loudspeaker but no 3.5mm headphone jack. Instead, it uses a 2.5mm audio jack for listening to music or making calls.
Features and Battery Life
The phone does not have any advanced features like Wi-Fi or GPS, but it does have Bluetooth and a stereo FM radio with RDS and recording capabilities. It also has an MP3/AAC player and an organizer for managing tasks. The battery is removable with a capacity of 860 mAh and can last up to 432 hours on standby or 5 hours of talk time.
Design and Price
The Nokia 2720 fold comes in two colors: black and deep red. It has a Mini-SIM card slot and a SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) value of 0.77 W/kg for the head and 0.51 W/kg for the body. The European SAR value for the head is 1.24 W/kg. It was priced at approximately 40 EUR during its release in 2009.
Final Thoughts
The Nokia 2720 fold may not have the advanced features we have come to expect from our devices today, but it should be appreciated for being a pioneer in the world of mobile devices. It offers a simplistic yet functional design and served its purpose as a reliable communication device. It serves as a reminder of how far technology has come in just over a decade. It may no longer be in production, but its legacy lives on in the devices we use today.
