Comparisons Featuring Nokia 2
Short Review
- The Nokia 2 features a compact design with dimensions of 143.5 x 71.3 x 9.3 mm and a weight of 161 grams, utilizing a glass front with Gorilla Glass 3, a plastic back, and an aluminum frame.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 294 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera with autofocus and a 5 MP front camera, capable of recording video at 720p at 30fps.
- A robust 4100 mAh battery ensures extended usage, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.

- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.1, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The Nokia 2 is available in several color combinations, including Pewter/Black and Copper/Black.
- While it does not feature stereo speakers, it retains a headphone jack for audio output.
- Overall, the Nokia 2 is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for everyday tasks.
