The Nokia C12 Plus 64GB is Nokia's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.3 inches, 99.1 cm2 (~83.0% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Unisoc SC9863A1 (22 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4000 mAh battery. At AED 199 in the UAE and ₹5,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nokia C12 Plus 64GB excels with its 4000 mAh removable battery, offering two-day usage on light loads, and Android 12 Go Edition, which keeps the Unisoc SC9863A1 chip responsive for basic tasks. The 6.3-inch 720 x 1520 display delivers clear text readability, ideal for SMS and WhatsApp use. It’s built for elderly users or first-time smartphone owners in rural India or UAE expats needing a durable, no-frills device with replaceable battery access. Its weakness is the 5 MP main camera—images lack detail in low light, and video recording caps at 480p, making it unusable for any content creation. In UAE at AED 199, it’s competitive because rivals like the Samsung Galaxy A04s cost AED 299 with similar performance but non-removable batteries. In India at ₹5999, it’s overpriced: the Redmi 9A offers the same battery and OS at ₹4999 with slightly better build quality. Skip if you need camera or speed; choose only if battery longevity and simplicity are non-negotiable.
