Nokia 2

[Sumen]

HMD and Nokia just unveiled the latest affordable device in its device lineup, the Nokia 2. What makes it a noteworthy entrant? Let's break those specs down and see what the fuss is all about.

Ticking inside the Nokia 2 is the Snapdragon 212, a 1.2GHz chipset comprising four ARM Cortex-A7 cores. Although it's a rather humble chipset, the Snapdragon 212 seems like the perfect match for the Nokia 2: aside from being extremely affordable and LTE-ready, the real ace up its sleeve is its exceptional power efficiency. Couple that one with the large, 4,100mAh battery at the rear of the handset, and you would most certainly eke out at least 2 days of battery life out of the Nokia 2.

A single gigabyte of RAM will be working alongside the Snapdragon 212. Up front ,one would find a 5.0-inch 720x1280 HD display. Above it, you get a 5MP front-facing camera, while the main one is an 8MP snapper.

Aside from running stock Android 8.0 Oreo, which is a highlight on its own, Nokia also boasted that the Nokia 2 is the first entry-level device with Google Assistant on deck. Preloaded with a collection of Indian languages and local dialects, the handset is obviously targeted at the large Indian smartphone market, but this does not mean you won't be able to get it elsewhere.

On the contrary, the phone will launch globally in mid-November and will have the rather stomachable price tag of EUR 99(R1617.34), which translates to roughly $115. The handset will be available in Copper Black, Pewter Black, and Pewter White.

Quite keen to get my hands on one of these. A good proper cheap phone from Nokia. It's been years since I had one of those.
