The Nokia 301 had equal or superior internet capabilities compared to the 225. The fact that apps were delivered and updated in the Nokia Store for many years after the launch, made it the golden age of feature phones with tiny, clever apps.
## My notes
I own a Nokia 225 4G (the generation before the 2024 release). Because my impression was pretty bad, I've been very hesitant to get a new one.
* The **battery life** of Nokia 225 is AWFUL compared to the Nokia 301. On the 225, I get around 3 days on a new phone, which is less than a 301 I've used for several years.
* There were seriously bad design choices in the S30+ shipped for Nokia 225 4G. I've tried updating it, but what I think are clear bugs, haven't been fixed. This includes broken design for using 3 or more languages when texting, and looking up people by their name in the concact book.
