Nokia C210: Nokia is all set to re-enter the budget zone with the upcoming C210, aiming at users who want a clean Android experience without spending much. This one’s expected to be priced under ₹9,000, and while the design looks light and simple, it skips some modern features. So, is it worth waiting for, or is it better to look elsewhere? Let’s dig in.
Processor of Nokia C210
Nokia C210 is powered by the Snapdragon 662 processor at 2GHz octa-core. It isn’t a powerhouse performer, but it is sufficient for light apps, messaging, and casual use for browsing. It’s also Android 13-ready out of the box, so it has a newer software experience. RAM is 3GB, which could be slightly in short supply for heavy-duty multitasking, but again, sufficient for light daily use.
Display and Battery
It has a 6.3-inch IPS screen with a 720×1560 pixel resolution. A 90Hz refresh rate provides a smooth scroll touch feel, particularly in menus and social apps. While the pixel density is not too sharp at 273 ppi, the Corning Gorilla Glass 3 provides a slight ruggedness. It has a 3000mAh battery that feels a tad low for current use, but may suffice for a day for occasional users.
Nokia C210 Camera
Nokia C210 has a dual rear camera configuration, a 13MP primary and a 2MP secondary sensor. It can record 1080p videos at 30fps. At the front, there is a 5MP camera placed in a waterdrop notch. Not made for heavy clicking, but it can handle basic captures and video calls. Don’t have too high expectations, but it can click decent photos when there is plenty of light.
Price of the Device
Nokia C210 will presumably be available at ₹8,999. It enters a field with a lot of feature-packed competition at this price. Nokia is relying more on brand equity and stock Android than on competitive specs. It can be a good choice for newbie buyers or someone upgrading from a feature phone.
Conclusion
Nokia C210 plays it plain. With light weight, Android 13, and Snapdragon 662, it’s not trying to wow enthusiasts. Rather, it’s attempting to provide a clean and snappy mobile experience to someone who only needs the basics. The price seems reasonable, but it’s not a head-turner. Those looking for performance or camera improvements would do better elsewhere.
