Introducing the Nokia 2 – a budget-friendly smartphone from the renowned Nokia brand. Priced at ৳6,900 in Bangladesh (official price, [Discontinued]), this device may face challenges in a market where competitors offer more for less. Released in November 2017, the Nokia 2 boasts a stylish design with color options such as Pewter/Black, Pewter/White, and Copper/Black.
Connectivity is a strong suit, supporting 2G, 3G, and 4G networks with a dual Nano SIM setup. The device features Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth v4.1, A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS, and FM radio. While the absence of USB Type-C may be noted, the presence of OTG functionality adds a layer of convenience.
The body of the Nokia 2 is crafted for durability, combining Gorilla Glass 3 at the front, a plastic back, and an aluminum frame. Unfortunately, it lacks water resistance. The 5.0-inch LTPS IPS LCD touchscreen with HD+ resolution delivers vibrant visuals, protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 8 MP back camera with autofocus and LED flash, capable of HD video recording. The 5 MP front camera also supports HD video recording. The device is powered by a non-removable 4100 mAh Lithium-ion battery, promising long usage hours.
Running on Android Nougat v7.1.1 (upgradable to Android Oreo v8.1), the Nokia 2 is equipped with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 chipset, 1 GB RAM, and 8 GB ROM (expandable up to 128 GB via microSD). Despite its budget-friendly nature, the device lacks certain performance features found in competitors within a similar price range.
The Nokia 2 may face scrutiny in Bangladesh due to its price tag compared to the competition. While offering an attractive design, robust build quality, and exceptional battery life, the 1 GB RAM, 8 GB ROM, and Snapdragon 212 chipset might not justify the cost for some consumers. Ultimately, choosing the Nokia 2 depends on individual priorities – whether brand loyalty, internet speed, and impressive battery life take precedence over performance factors.
