Feature Rich Nokia 2.1 and 3.1 Shake The Budget Phone Market

Nokia 2.1 and 3.1
HANDSETS
Nokia’s updated 2.1 and 3.1 models feature upgrades to bring them more in line with other phones from 2018.
A few weeks after the announcement of the high-end X6, Nokia is back with a few new phones, this time targeting lower-end of the market.
The new Nokia 2.1 and 3.1 are the more accessible (read: low end) of the phones, targeting a segment dominated by Chinese phone makers.

Arguably the biggest draw of Nokia 2.1 is the Android Oreo Go Edition, rather than the traditional Android experience of its predecessor. However, that could also turn people away from the phone.

Design and Display

The display is a large 5.5” panel with HD resolution. The body is a polycarbonate plastic-one with metallic accents, available in Blue/Copper, Blue/Silver, and Gray/Silver. The front also has stereo speakers. Unfortunately, the phone doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner onboard.

Internals and Storage

Under the hood, you get a Snapdragon 425 processor, which provides up to 50% better performance than before, especially when paired with the new Android Oreo 8.1 Go Edition.

Camera(s)

The back camera boasts an 8 MP lens with 1080p video capture, while the front houses a 5 MP sensor.

Battery and Price

The large battery, coming in at 4000 mAh, is retained from its predecessor.
