Last year, in October, HMD Global had announced the Nokia 225 4G feature phone. Today, the company has launched a new model of the same, called Nokia 225 4G Payment Edition.

As the phone’s name clearly indicates, the focus of the company is on facilitating payments using the device. The phone enables users to access Alipay Wallet with a one-key action.

As noted above, the major difference between the standard version and this new model is the support for mobile payments function. With a one-key action, the function can be opened or navigate to the payment option in the menu and then click on the “Payment Code” to proceed further. The user also gets an option to set a daily consumption limit.

The phone comes with a 2.4-inch screen and under the hood, the device is powered by a UNISOC processor. It has memory card support that can help users expand the phone’s storage capacity up to 32GB.

There’s also a 3-megapixel camera sensor placed on the phone’s back panel. Additionally, the phone also comes with a flashlight. It supports features like quick dialing, voice recorder, external radio, etc.

The highlight of the phone is that it comes with support for 4G connectivity. The 4G support isn’t limited to a single SIM but the phone can be connected to a 4G network on both the SIM cards simultaneously.
