HMD Global, the company behind the Nokia-branded Android phones, has announced two new smartphones that could conquer the budget phones in 2022.
Launched today at MWC 2022, the brand new Nokia C Series phones cost just £75 and £100 and could be very tempting for people looking for a second smartphone or wanting to replace their phone without breaking the bank.
Nokia C2 2
The £74.99 second-gen Nokia C2 lands in the UK in May, offering all-day battery life from the 2,400mAh cell and 5.7-inch HD display. It’s unknown what chipset the company is using, but you can get up to 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. There’s Android minus UI interference and quarterly security updates for two years.
The single-lens rear camera is only 5 megapixels while the selfie camera is only 2 megapixels, but at this price point you can’t expect much more. The second generation Nokia C2 will be available in dark blue and warm gray from May.
Nokia C21Plus
The Nokia C21 Plus (main image), on the other hand, significantly upgrades the data sheet by another twenty-five marks. It promises two days of battery life from the 4,000mAh cell while still offering a 6.5-inch HD Plus display. Nokia also says it’ll rock a metal body with an IP52 rating for decent production against the elements.
The Nokia C21 Plus also comes with a dual 13MP camera with panorama and portrait modes and a clean version of Android with no custom UI interference. There will also be quarterly security updates for two years. The phone is protected by a fingerprint sensor and face unlock.
Again, Nokia remains mother in terms of chipset, but it can be configured with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.
It will be available in the UK from late April in Dark Cyan and Warm Gray colors and will cost from £99.99. Nokia is also launching some Nokia Comfort Earbuds and Nokia Clarity Earbuds today, prices for which are yet to be confirmed.
