HMD Global’s line of Nokia-branded Android phones is growing again.
The Nokia 2 is now official, claiming the title of HMD’s most affordable Nokia handset. The new Nokia 2 will begin rolling out in November at a price of €99 ($115 USD).
One of the highlight features of the Nokia 2 is its battery. HMD Global has crammed a 4,100mAh battery in to the Nokia 2’s frame, and the company says that you can get up to two days of use with a single charge.
Something that likely helps the Nokia 2 get this long battery life is its modest spec list. The Nokia 2 features a 5-inch 1280x720 display, Snapdragon 212 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of built-in storage, as well as a microSD card slot if you need more storage.
There’s an 8-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash on the Nokia 2’s backside, and around front is a 5-megapixel fixed focus camera. Other features of the Nokia 2 include microUSB and 3.5mm ports, IP52 drip protection, and 4G LTE connectivity.
The Nokia 2 will ship with Android 7.1.1 Nougat in tow, but HMD says that it’s “Android Oreo ready”. The company is also promising monthly security updates for the Nokia 2.
While the Nokia 2 isn’t going to blow away the spec-focused smartphone fans out there, it looks like it could be a decent option for folks that want place a focus on affordability. The Nokia 2 has a simple, clean design and its “Android Oreo ready,” and that battery size is pretty impressive, too.
