The Nokia C12 Pro 32GB is Nokia's 2023 smartphone featuring a 6.3 inches, 95.8 cm2 (~80.3% screen-to-body ratio) display, the Unisoc SC9863A1 (22 nm) chipset. It comes with a 4000 mAh battery. At AED 149 in the UAE and ₹4,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nokia C12 Pro 32GB excels with its 4000 mAh removable battery, delivering multi-day use on light loads, and its 6.3-inch 720 x 1600 display offers usable clarity for basic tasks. The Android 12 Go edition runs smoothly on the Unisoc SC9863A1, avoiding lag during app switching. Ideal for elderly users or those needing a backup phone with long battery life and simple interface, it’s perfect for calling, SMS, and occasional WhatsApp use. Its weakness is the 5 MP main camera—images lack detail in low light, and video recording caps at 480p. No NFC limits contactless payments. In UAE at AED 149, it’s competitive because no other new phone offers a removable 4000 mAh battery at this price. In India at ₹4999, it’s overpriced—real alternatives like the Redmi 9A offer better cameras and faster charging for the same cost.
