Overview Nokia C21
Android version and market relevance
In the short description of the new smartphone Nokia C21 we point out the key characteristics for each smartphone. Firstly, it is an actuality in the market. This model was announced by the company Nokia in February 2022. Secondly, this concept of adequacy in the market at the moment. We determine this according to the software version on which the smartphone is running and updating. So, “out of the box” Nokia C21 works on Android 11 Go Edition and has not received until now no updates to the more recent version of the software. In this case, we advise you to avoid buying models that do not receive software updates. Look at the others smartphones of 2022.
Of the features that not all Android smartphones have today, we separately single out support for two SIM cards and the ability to work in 5G networks with a maximum speed of 100 Mb/s. So Nokia C21 is a dual-smartphone, so you can combine in one device just two phones. This, of course, is convenient and makes you look more closely at this model. The manufacturer could add support for fifth-generation networks to this smartphone, but did not. Perhaps not to raise the price, or for other reasons. If for you the presence of support for 5G networks in a new smartphone is very important, then we recommend that you go to this page in the catalog — all 5G smartphones on Android.
Screen, body and battery
The most important thing you need to know about the case and form factor Nokia C21. There is a cutout above the screen to take up even more space on the front of the case. As you have seen in the photo, here is a drop-like cutout for a selfie camera. On the front side of the case is located huge IPS LCD-screen with diagonal 6.52″. At the same time, a battery with a capacity of 3 000 mAh.
Main camera and selfie camera
The smartphone Nokia C21 got the main camera with one module: 8 MP with a regular lens. And there is also a front camera that has one module: 5 MP with a regular lens. If you judge only by the number of megapixels, then the main camera is very weak. But the frontcamera not very good, we have in our catalog real selfie smartphones. It seems that we have already written many times that before buying you need to see a smartphone and hold it in your hands. And speaking about cameras, I would like to repeat the same idea once again — look at the reviews about this model, see examples of photos taken by this smartphone. It often happens that in search of a low price, you buy a model with a camera of tens of megapixels, but the photos and videos will not be of high quality.
Processor and Internal Memory
Smartphone received 8-core processor Unisoc SC9863A (28nm). If you want to assess the speed of the smartphone and its performance, then do not forget to see how much RAM is installed in it. Nokia C21 received 2 GB of RAM, and there is another version of this smartphone with 3 GB of RAM.
And there are options with built-in memory. You can choose 32 GB or 64 GB. Supported memory cards microSDXC.
Price for Nokia C21: buy or not to buy?
The choice to make is not difficult — to buy or not to buy — we will help you to solve it right now. New smartphone Nokia C21 we took and carried out segmentation for the quality of the camera, screen size, battery capacity and processor performance. So, if you want to buy a smartphone with a huge screen, then this model perfectly suits you. If you want to receive the usual quality of photos, you can safely take this smartphone and do not overpay for top models. And, finally, on the performance of the processor, this model is very powerful with a good battery here.
Having dealt with the average characteristics, it remains to understand whether it is worth all the declared price of $110 (without taxes and fees). Here everyone makes a choice for himself and evaluates all the pros and cons.
If something you did not fit this smartphone for purchase, then look in our catalog for a selection DROID smartphones. These are models that are now on sale, and that work under the new version of Android OS.

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.
