Following its official announcement last week, the Nokia 2 V has launched at Verizon.

You can now buy the Nokia 2 V from Verizon Prepaid for $69.99. It's available in blue and comes with 8GB of built-in storage, though there's also a microSD card slot that'll let you add up to 128GB of additional storage.

The Nokia 2 V's spec sheet also includes a 5.5-inch HD display, Snapdragon 425 processor, and 1GB of RAM. There's an 8MP camera with LED flash and 5MP front-facing camera included, and dual front speakers are above and below the display. Powering the whole package is a 4000mAh battery, and Nokia has also included Android 8.1 Oreo (Go edition) with no skins or UI changes.

HMD Global has largely been selling its Nokia-branded Android phones in the U.S. unlocked and direct to consumers, so it's good to see the Nokia 2 V launching at Verizon. Many consumers in the U.S. still buy their phones from their carrier, and so Verizon's release of the Nokia 2 V will expose lots of people to these new Nokia phones for the first time.
