The Nokia C02 32GB is Nokia's 2023 smartphone featuring a 5.45 inches, 76.7 cm2 (~72.4% screen-to-body ratio) display. It comes with a 3000 mAh battery. At AED 149 in the UAE and ₹4,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nokia C02 32GB excels with its 3000mAh battery delivering all-day use on light tasks, a 5.45-inch IPS LCD with 720x1440 resolution offering clear text readability, and Android 12 Go Edition ensuring smooth multitasking on its quad-core 1.4GHz chip. It’s built for first-time smartphone buyers in rural India or UAE laborers needing a durable, no-frills device for calls, WhatsApp, and basic YouTube. Its weakness is the 2MP rear camera — images are grainy under low light, and video recording tops at 480p, making it unusable for any serious capture. In UAE at AED 149, it’s competitive because it’s the cheapest LTE phone with a reliable battery and clean OS. In India at ₹4999, it’s overpriced: rivals like the Redmi A2+ offer better cameras, faster processors, and 4GB RAM for the same cost. Skip if you need decent photos or future-proofing.
