They don’t make them anymore: Nokia has released an ultra-budget smartphone with a removable battery
The model has a 6.3-inch display, a 4000 mAh battery and an 8-core chipset manufactured by Unisoc.
The Nokia C family of entry-level smartphones is replenished. The new Nokia C12 Pro model is almost the same as the Nokia C12 introduced at the beginning of 2023, but it is equipped with an increased 4000 mAh battery, which is also removable.
The new Nokia C12 Pro is equipped with an 8-core Unisoc processor, a 6.3-inch IPS screen and a single 8 MP rear camera with support for night and portrait mode.
Design Nokia C12 Pro also inherited from its predecessor with a waterdrop notch for a 5-megapixel front camera in the display and a back cover made of textured polycarbonate. The phone runs Android 12 (Go edition) and is promised 2 years of quarterly software updates.
The first country where sales of the Nokia C12 Pro started was India. There, its cost is 6,999 rupees (about 3,000 UAH) for the version with 2/64 GB of memory and 7,499 rupees (~ 3,400 UAH) for the configuration with 3/64 GB of memory. Whether it will be sold in Europe is not yet clear. In any case, it will certainly be found on trading platforms like AliExpress.
Earlier this year, Nokia introduced a self-repairable smartphone. So, the Nokia G22 battery can be changed independently in 5 minutes, and the display will take about 20 minutes to replace. On other models of the manufacturer, a similar process would take about an hour and a half.
If you are looking for a smartphone no more than 6000 UAH, UNIAN shared the rating of the best budget Android smartphones released in the last couple of years. The list includes models from Redmi, Moto, Realme, OnePlus, and Blackview.
And if you are looking for an inexpensive smartphone for photo and video, the Gizchina portal selected the top ten smartphones with the best cameras costing up to $500 or UAH 18,000. In the first place was Redmi Note 11 Pro +, which in terms of photos is not inferior to expensive flagships.
