Short description Nokia C21 Plus

This is a smartphone on Android 11 Go Edition with a very fast and productive processor, with a huge touchscreen size, with a great camera that has 2 modules (13 MP Wide, 2 MP Depth sensor), and the front camera here turned out to be absolutely ordinary. And Nokia C21 Plus has such features: a slot for two SIM cards, cut-out notch above the screen (so that a selfie camera, speakers and additional sensors are placed there).

Android version and market relevance

Dual-smartphone Nokia C21 Plus introduced a company Nokia in February 2022. It has Android version 11 Go Edition, which, unfortunately, it will not be possible to update, because the manufacturer did not take care of it.

Well, what can I say, Nokia C21 Plus is a smartphone of 2022 with fairly normal characteristics, which is located in our price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”.

Screen, body and battery

The case Nokia C21 Plus has got interesting features: very thin side frames, cutout above the screen for a selfie camera and sensors.

The screen Nokia C21 Plus is made using the IPS LCD technology, has a diagonal 6.52 inches. Such a very large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case, which has a thickness of 8.6 mm. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 5 050 mAh. This model could become a flip smartphone and get into our catalog on a separate page, where all phones with flexible screens are collected. Unfortunately, this did not happen. And therefore, if you are interested in smartphones with such top-end characteristics, we advise you to look at them in our catalog and get a deeper understanding in which direction the entire mobile electronics industry is moving. Perhaps, in a couple of years, every second person on the planet will have such flip smartphones.

Main camera and selfie camera

The smartphone Nokia C21 Plus has two cameras: main camera (13 MP Wide + 2 MP Depth sensor) and front-camera (5 MP with a regular lens). If you look at the quality of the photo of the main camera, then it will be medium-quality photos and videos.

In addition, the main camera has a feature, namely an additional module. It is better to judge about the advantages and disadvantages of several lenses in one smartphone, as well as about the possibilities of software image enhancement, by real photos and videos taken with such a camera. Therefore, be sure to look at all the photos of the Nokia C21 Plus on this page in order to draw your conclusion on whether this is a good camera or not.

In this smartphone, the front camera is located as usual at the top of the screen, like in 99.9% of other models. We have collected smartphones with pop-up front camera in the catalog that may seem much more interesting to you. In these models, there are practically no frames around the screen, because the front camera is located inside the case and does not take up space above the screen. The selfie camera only pops up when you activate the front camera mode. Take a photo or video, exit the Camera application. And after that, the socket with the front camera drives into the body. Real engineering magic!

Processor and Internal Memory

A smartphone without a processor will not work. And the better the processor, the faster the smartphone works. Nokia C21 Plus received 8-core processor Unisoc SC9863A (28nm). The amount of RAM in it is 2 GB or 4 GB, depending on which option you choose.

But, more importantly, it′s the amount of built-in memory for storing your information (photo, video, music, etc.). Here you will receive 32/64 GB. This is again different versions of your choice. The more memory, the more expensive the version of the smartphone. You can still do this — buy a smartphone with a minimum amount of memory to save a bit, and buy a memory card microSDXC, because in this model there is a slot for memory cards.

Price for Nokia C21 Plus: buy or not to buy?

$135 is the price for Nokia C21 Plus at the start of sales. For this money you get a smartphone with a fast processor, a huge touch screen, with a very good main camera, and with a conventional front camera. And with such characteristics, the smartphone got into the price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, where you can choose any other similar model for a same price.

And how important is the battery capacity in your smartphone? Here is the case that it is in Nokia C21 Plus that a very powerful battery is installed. And, if you need a smartphone with a very long mode of operation from one battery charge, then we recommend looking at this model, or similar smartphones with a powerful battery.

Nokia C21 Plus will be available after the beginning of official sales. We always recommend that you look at the smartphone before you buy it to make sure that it fits you in all respects — screen size, case materials and build quality, speed and smoothness of the interface, photo and video quality, etc. After you choose a model, then you already look at the different offers from the sellers — you can buy it on the Internet or in the offline electronics supermarket. Buy where you prefer, where there are stocks and discounts, and where the seller guarantees the service of the device under warranty.

List of new Nokia smartphones in 2022: February results

In February, HMD Global held two presentations, which introduced five new smartphones under the Nokia brand. Unfortunately, all these models belong to the budget (from $90) and mid-budget segment (from $130-$150). And devices based on Android 11 / 11 Go Edition. It seems that to compete with Xiaomi smartphones, these new products lack advantages in features and body design. But, perhaps, fans of the Nokia brand like everything and these devices will find their customers.

We picked up these models at a similar price.
