Nokia 6220 Camera Phone Review

Add as a preferred source on Google

Quote from the review at HardwareZone:

“At first glance, the phone looks like a crossbreed between the 6610 and 7250. Well, to be honest, if you feel that nearly all newly launched Nokia phones of the 6000 and 7000 series look closely identical to one another, you’re not alone.

The unit we have here comes with a black/silver Xpress-On cover, but if this color combination isn’t for you, there’s a selection of Gold, Green and Rose colored Xpress-On covers offered by Nokia for you to mix and match with. The display screen of the 6220 comes in the form of a 128×128, 4,096 color Passive-matrix screen with 11 adjustable levels of brightness. Passive-matrix displays are cheaper to manufacture as compared to the higher-end Active-matrix displays. However, this cheaper form of display has a much sluggish response time and will give a lagging sort of feeling when one is scrolling through the menu subsystem. To top it off, colors produced by this form of display are generally washed out and lacklustre as well. The most advantageous point of using Passive-matrix displays however, is its low costs and low power consumption – which we’ll touch on when we cover the phone’s battery life in a while.”

The best free VPNs for 2026
The best free VPNs still come with compromises, but a few offer enough privacy and flexibility to be genuinely useful.
Proton VPN UI

A virtual private network (VPN) encrypts your internet traffic and routes it through a server run by the VPN provider. Websites see the VPN server’s IP address instead of yours, and you can get around geo-blocks, censorship, and ISP throttling. The best VPN services are paid, but there are still a handful of free options that do the job well. 

Most free VPNs come with a hidden cost, because running servers isn’t cheap and a company that doesn’t charge you has to make its money somewhere else. Many do so by logging your browsing activity and selling it to advertisers, while others flood you with ads and track you across apps.

There's nothing quite like curling up with a good book on a cold evening. As much as I love the feel of a physical book, books take up a lot of space, and carrying more than one on a trip quickly becomes a chore. That's where e-readers come in, and the Amazon Kindle remains one of the best options.

Amazon just refreshed its Kindle lineup with thinner, lighter designs, a new flush-front display, and colors that wrap from front to back. Add the Kindle Scribe and the Kindle Scribe Colorsoft to the mix, and you have more choices than ever before.
