[UPDATE | 18th Dec, 5:15 PM] –

Just a couple weeks after its official unveiling, Nokia 2.3 has launched in India today with an unreasonable price tag of Rs viii,199. It's for the 2GB+32GB configuration, which is the only one and volition go on sale starting 27 December next week. You can buy the Nokia 2.3 from the visitor'due south online shop and popular offline retail stores.

Correct off the bat, without testing the device and simply based on the specs alone, I would propose y'all to stay away from Nokia 2.3 in India. You could spend your money well by picking up the Realme v for Rs 8,999 or Redmi 8 for Rs 7,999. If you want to get alee with the Nokia 2.3, then exercise know that the company is offering a 1-year replacement guarantee on the device, along with a six-month warranty on the accessories.

Virtually phone makers have a crystal clear arroyo on how to price and market their new devices in India today. Even Samsung has bounced back with its Galaxy A-series and Chiliad-series, and Vivo is doing an amazing job with the U and Z-series. All the same, HMD Global can't seem to stop shooting itself in the foot with continuous nether-powered and highly-priced phone launches. It needs to conduct a survey to sympathize the value for money gene in the electric current marketplace.

Original content follows…

HMD Global has today expanded its entry-level phone lineup with the unveiling of the new Nokia 2.iii at its much-anticipated launch event in Egypt. Information technology's a successor to the Nokia two.2 from earlier this yr and builds upon it with a Finnish-inspired design, dual-cameras, and bigger battery onboard.

Nokia 2.three: Specs and Features

Starting off with the design, Nokia 2.3 sports a die-cast aluminum chassis and a polymer torso with a 3D nanotexture for a rigid yet comfortable grip. The visitor uses a color blend process to offer you lot some beautiful shades. In that location's no fingerprint scanner onboard but Nokia has added a defended Google Assistant button here.

The Nokia 2.3 features a half-dozen.2-inch HD+ LCD display, with a 19:ix aspect ratio and a tiny waterdrop notch up-top. There's a 5MP selfie camera housed in the notch and it could be used for Face Unlock too.

This smartphone is powered by the MediaTek Helio A22 chipset, coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (expandable upwards to 512GB). The smartphone runs Android ix Pie out-of-the-box, which is super disappointing – specially from a brand that touts itself to a part of Google's Android One Project. I would take expected to encounter Android 10 onboard in December from HMD Global.

In the photographic camera section, Nokia 2.3 upgrades on its predecessor with the add-on of a dual-camera setup on the rear. It includes a 13MP (f/2.2) primary lens, forth with a 2MP depth sensor that volition aid in outputting ameliorate portrait shots. There are 6 unlike bokeh styles to choose from while clicking portrait photos, said Nokia's representative on stage.

The smartphone comes equipped with a 4,000mAh battery and a 5W charging adapter, which is okay for the cost. The device supports all essential connectivity options such every bit Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, GPS, GLONASS, and more.

Price and Availability

Nokia 2.3 has been launched at an average price of 109 euros (Rs. 8,600) for the global markets. It will be kickoff shipping from mid-December and will come up in 3 color variants, namely Cyan Green, Sand, and Charcoal.

There'south currently no word for when the smartphone will launch in India, but I'm already skeptical of Nokia 2.3 doing well among Indian buyers. You already have meliorate-looking, better-specced phones in the sub-Rs 8,000 toll point in India and HMD Global is yet to effigy out the value-for-money quotient that works for them in the land.
