Villaon V220

OhoPrice editorial review

The Villaon V220 is a basic feature phone with a 2.4" QVGA display and a 2500mAh battery. The screen should be readable for calls and texts, but the 0.8MP camera is clearly very basic and only useful for simple, well-lit shots. The battery is decent for this price range, and should last multiple days under normal feature-phone use. If you need a low-cost phone for texting, calling and occasional light use, it can do the job, but it is not suitable if you want stronger camera quality or a more modern user experience. The QMobile Q5606 is slightly cheaper but comes with a smaller 1.8" LCD and a smaller 2000mAh battery. The V220’s larger display and bigger battery make it the better choice if you want more comfortable reading and longer runtime, though both phones are in the same ultra-budget class. The Q5606 may still appeal if you want the lowest upfront cost, but the V220 offers a more usable screen and a slightly stronger battery package. Check PTA’s DIRBS calculator for the exact registration and duty amount, and installment plans are typically available through major retailers for phones in this category.
