Nokia has unveiled its mid-range offering the Nokia 2.3 in Egypt. It is the latest budget variant by the company. This phone is being touted as a camera and entertainment-focused budget smartphone. While the device ships with Android 9 from the factory, Nokia claims it to be Android 10 ready. This phone features a 3D nano-textured cover with a ribbed pattern at the rear and also has a dedicated Google Assistant button.
Specifications: Nokia 2.3 comes equipped with a 6.2-inch display panel that offers a 720 x 1520 pixel resolution. It sports 19:9 display aspect ratio. This budget range offering is powered by a 2GHz quad-core MediaTek Helio A22 SoC. This phone comes with 2GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage that can be expanded up to 512GB with the help of a microSD card.
On the camera front, Nokia 2.3 features a dual rear camera setup. While it offers a 13MP lens with an f/2.2 aperture + a 2MP depth sensor for the Portrait Mode and multiple bokeh effects on the back, it offers a 5MP selfie shooter. Nokia’s parent company HMD Global is also boasting of a Recommended Shot feature that takes 15 images before and after shutter press and then selects the best shot.
These apart, the Nokia 2.3 comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and also has Dual 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS + GLONASS and micro USB. The phone weighs 183 grams.
