Nokia C21 Plus

“Nokia’s budget-conscious C21 Plus offers a sizeable display and solid everyday performance despite performing unspectacularly in benchmarking tests. With features like face unlock and a fingerprint scanner, it’s a cheap phone with plenty of forward-thinking features – including two more years of Android support guaranteed.”

“Priced at Rs 11,299, Nokia C21 Plus does not check all the boxes but definitely makes a stronghold in certain aspects. It’s worth it if your sole priority is to binge-watch video content. However, a few changes could have made the phone better such as– better placement of the speaker unit, a Type-C USB port for fast charging. Having said that, Nokia C21 can surely be a smart purchase for the money it is asking.”

“The C21 Plus, like most budget Nokia handsets, is mostly suited to consumers who want a budget phone with sturdy build quality, ad-free and easy-to-use software, and a long-lasting battery. I can only think of elderly family members as the appropriate target audience for this device, which meets such basic needs but falls short of power user's requirements. If you want a nice crisp display, a snappy chipset, and good camera performance, look for a modern 2022 budget handset from Realme, Poco, Redmi, Xiaomi, or Infinix.”

“Nokia C21 Plus is a decent smartphone in the budget segment with a fair share of issues. It faces tough competition from other smartphones in its price range and will find it difficult to pass ahead of them. Nokia loyalists might go for it simply because of their love for the brand.”
