The Nokia C02 64GB 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 199 in the UAE and ₹5,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nokia C02 64GB excels with its removable 3000 mAh battery, offering easy replacement for users in areas with unreliable power, and its 5.45-inch 720 x 1440 display delivers sharp text readability despite the 295 ppi density. The Android 12 Go Edition ensures smooth multitasking on the quad-core 1.4 GHz chip for basic apps. It’s built for first-time smartphone buyers in rural India or UAE laborers needing a durable, no-frills device with long battery life and a replaceable battery. Its weakness is the 2 MP main camera—unable to capture usable detail in low light or even daylight without heavy pixel binning. In UAE at AED 199, it’s competitive because it’s the cheapest phone with a removable battery and LTE support. In India at ₹5999, it’s overpriced; rivals like the Redmi 9A offer 5000 mAh batteries and 8 MP cameras for the same cost. Skip if you need camera functionality or future-proofing.
