Nokia 2: Is the Tepid Media Response Justified?

Entry-level Nokia 2 has recently been announced without fanfare, which is relevant to launching an important smartphone, although it should be an important factor in the fate of the brand in Pakistan. One had expected the media to be passionate about Nokia's mainstream launch, but so far the response has been tepid. Of course, the Finnish telecom giant is no longer associated with Nokia's smartphone, manufactured and licensed by Foxconn and developed by HMD Global, but most of the Android enthusiasts are disappointed, but the hardware is really disappointing.

Nokia 2 features a 5 "LTPS HD display protected by Gorilla Glass 3. The Snapdragon 212 SoC offers an integrated quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU clocked at 1.3GHz and an Adreno 304 GPU clocked at 409MHz, and a 1GB RAM and a poor 8GB of internal storage make it extremely sluggish compared to competing products of the same price: the camera has an 8MP sensor on the back and a 5MP device on the front, both capable of shooting 1080p video at 30fps This device will ship with an Android Nougat built in to the Oreo update next year, along with a large capacity 4,100 mAh battery.


HMD Global, behind Nokia's branded Android smartphone, will not sell the Pakistani-specific Nokia 2 yet, but it will be available in Europe for € 99 (approx. 12,099 rupees) in Europe. We will compete against heavyweight products such as the Xiaomi Redmi 4A, Moto C Plus and the recently launched Redmi Y1, all priced at the same general ballpark and with much better hardware. Whether or not Nokia 2 can own its own powerful devices with sub-entry-level hardware can be known in time. But press and online commentators can see why many ignore the new Nokia 2, which many people think of.
