The Nokia C12 Pro 64GB 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 199 in the UAE and ₹5,999 in India, it sits firmly in the budget tier.
The Nokia C12 Pro 64GB excels with its 4000 mAh removable battery, delivering multi-day use on light loads, and the 6.3-inch 720 x 1600 display offers clear text readability despite 278 ppi. Its Android 12 Go Edition runs smoothly on the Unisoc SC9863A1 for basic tasks like WhatsApp, calls, and YouTube at 480p. Ideal for elderly users or secondary-phone buyers needing reliable calling, long battery life, and a physical SIM tray. The 10W charging is painfully slow—fully recharging takes over four hours—and the 8MP main camera struggles in low light, producing noisy, overprocessed images. No NFC limits contactless payments. In UAE at AED 199, it’s competitive because it’s the cheapest Android phone with a removable battery and 4000 mAh capacity. In India at ₹5999, it’s overpriced—real alternatives like the Redmi A2+ offer better cameras and faster charging for the same cost.
