The Nokia C21 is a more affordable version of the plus. It has the same 6.5” display (720 x 1,600 px) and the metal frame plus toughened glass. There’s no official IP rating on this one, however. The phone is powered by the same Unisoc chipset, except this time the choices for RAM capacity are limited to 2GB or 3GB, storage is again either 32GB or 64GB. The dedicated microSD slot remains as does the commitment for 2 years of security patches.
One of the major differences here is the
battery – it has only 3,000 mAh capacity, 25% less than even the lower capacity
version of the C21 Plus. Also, it only supports charging at 5W (and comes with
a 5W charger and microUSB cable). The main camera has also been downgraded to 8
MP, but the selfie camera keeps its 5 MP sensor. Face and fingerprint unlocking
are both available.
The Nokia C21 and C21 Plus are coming soon,
we will update this article with pricing info as soon as it is available.
