Nokia's not dead yet: Microsoft announces new budget smartphone

Nokia 215

We were unsure whether we'd see a Nokia branded phone again but Microsoft has just unveiled a new one: the Nokia 215, an incredibly low-cost non-smart mobile.

It won't get your gadget lust flowing like the Nokia Lumia 930, but the Nokia 215 proves the phone brand isn't quite dead yet. Until now we thought the Nokia name had been retired after Microsoft acquired Nokia's phone division in 2014 but it seems Microsoft still has plans for the classic phone brand.
