Guide<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nokia_21_Review\"><\/span>Nokia 2.1 Review<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-9\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Design\"><\/span>Design<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone isn\u2019t built that well. You have to remember that it\u2019s a budget device from 2 years ago. It has a plastic back that\u2019s not very glossy. Around it is an aluminum frame, which is the only good thing about it. The frame is a major fingerprint magnet, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device is two-toned. Its back-panel is a solid colour, while the accents on it are a contrasting shade. This makes it eye-catching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re not looking at a slim handset. The 2.1 is pretty thick \u2013 its dimensions are 153.6 x 77.6 x 9.7 mm. It\u2019s not only thick, but it\u2019s small. It stretches <strong>5.5 inches<\/strong> across.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Our favourite variant is the blue one. Its accents are copper. There are also blue\/silver and grey\/silver versions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No surprise, there is a MicroSD slot on it. There is also a 3.5 mm headphone jack. We find its buttons easy to reach. There is, unfortunately, no fingerprint sensor in place. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The device weighs <strong>174 grams<\/strong>. The heavier a phone is, the more premium it\u2019ll feel. It has some heft to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-12\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Display\"><\/span>Display<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the 2.1 was released, it was considered huge. Its 5.5-inch screen is nothing today. Its display is an <strong>IPS LCD.<\/strong>&nbsp; If you know anything about displays, it\u2019s that LCDs aren\u2019t that vibrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The handset doesn\u2019t have the best screen-to-body ratio. Its ratio is a measly 70%. This explains the large top and bottom bezels. Its screen is as far away from pin-sharp as possible; it\u2019s <strong>720 x 1280 pixels<\/strong>. Although it\u2019s not very noteworthy, it\u2019s normal for phones its price to come with such screen resolutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We noticed something about its display \u2013 it has an odd blue tint to it. We tried correcting it through its temperature settings and sorted it out a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its front is strong. It\u2019s made out of <b>Gorilla Glass 3<\/b>. Many devices in its price range have a regular strengthened glass instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nokia-2.1-Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"Nokia 2.1 - Sri Lanka\" title=\"Nokia 2.1 - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-14\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Battery\"><\/span>Battery<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The device has a <strong>4000 mAh<\/strong> unit. It\u2019s not too shabby. As it\u2019s on the lower end of the price spectrum and its rear is plastic, you might be thinking that you can remove its battery. This is not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We found it to last for around 2 days. Unfortunately, you don\u2019t get the best charging options. There is only a 10 W charger. It takes the 2.1 over 2 hours to fully charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-14\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Performance\"><\/span>Performance<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone doesn\u2019t have the best chipset. It\u2019s the <strong>Snapdragon 425<\/strong> which just about lets you handle everyday tasks. It gets especially slow after the device has been used for a while. What makes the phone not-the-best to use is its RAM. You can only pick the device with 1 GB. You\u2019ll regularly find active apps being closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with 1 gig of RAM, you get 8 GB of space, which would be used up quickly. Thankfully, you can expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the box, you\u2019re getting Android 8.1. Since it\u2019s a budget phone released 2 years ago, you shouldn\u2019t be surprised that it\u2019s not getting the Android 10 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love that Nokia uses <strong>Stock Android<\/strong> on their handsets. This allows for a very customizable experience. It also results in phones not coming with any bloatware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"tab-con-15\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Camera\"><\/span>Camera<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There is an 8 MP single sensor on its rear. It takes shots that are as far from detailed and colour accurate as possible. They\u2019re especially bad in low-light. Its front shooter is a 5 MP sensor. It doesn\u2019t do that well either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dynamic range is something the 2.1 especially struggles with \u2013 it\u2019s a mix of colour ratios in a picture. When you enable HDR mode, its issue with dynamic range is softened a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tab-con-2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alternatives\"><\/span>Alternatives<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To wrap up our review, we thought of comparing the handset with alternatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Xiaomi_Redmi_6A\"><\/span>Xiaomi Redmi 6A<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Redmi 6A is a bit smaller than its Nokia counterpart. It\u2019s much lighter, though. You\u2019re looking at a 145-gram device. It\u2019s made of plastic, so it feels cheap. If it had more weight, it\u2019d feel more premium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone has an <strong>IPS LCD screen<\/strong> \u2013 you already know how we feel about it. Its screen-to-body ratio is better than the 2.1\u2019s. Its ratio is 72.7%. You\u2019re still getting large bezels on the top and bottom, though. Not only does it have a better screen-to-body ratio, but it has a sharper display \u2013 its screen resolution is <strong>720 x 1440 pixels<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Xiaomi-Redmi-6A-Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"Xiaomi Redmi 6A - Sri Lanka\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" title=\"Xiaomi Redmi 6A - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the box, you\u2019re getting Android 8.1. You can upgrade it to Android 9, not 10 \u2013 for obvious reasons. The UI on it is MIUI 11. If you should know anything about it, it\u2019s that it has a lot of bloatware. If it\u2019s any consolation, it comes with many themes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It carries a Mediatek chip. It\u2019s the <strong>Helio A22<\/strong>. It\u2019s <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.notebookcheck.net\/425-vs-Helio-A22-MT6762M_6685_10951.247596.0.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">snappier than<\/a> the Snapdragon 425. The device comes with better memory variants. You\u2019re getting 16 and 32 gigs of space along with 2 and 3 gigs of RAM. Yes, you can expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its battery is quite small. It\u2019s only <strong>3000 mAh<\/strong>. It lasts about a day. It doesn\u2019t charge through fast charging \u2013 you\u2019ll have to use a regular 10 W charger. It\u2019ll take over 2 hours to go from 0-100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a single camera on its rear. It\u2019s a 13 MP shooter. The shooter on its front is 5 MP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Huawei_Y3_2018\"><\/span>Huawei Y3 (2018)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The phone has a plastic body. It\u2019s shiny, so it looks premium. The handset weighs as much as its Nokia counterpart. It\u2019s 0.5 inches smaller than the 2.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In terms of its display, it\u2019s an <strong>IPS LCD panel<\/strong>. Its screen-to-body ratio isn\u2019t that good. It\u2019s <strong>64.4%.<\/strong> Its display isn\u2019t that sharp either - its screen resolution is only <strong>480 x 854 pixels<\/strong>. The final nail in the coffin is that its front isn\u2019t very strong. There is only a regular strengthened glass in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Out of the box, you\u2019re getting Android 8. There are rumours about the phone getting the Android 10 update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Huawei-Y32018-Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"Huawei Y3(2018) - Sri Lanka\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" title=\"Huawei Y3(2018) - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The chipset inside is the <strong>Mediatek MT6737M<\/strong>. It\u2019s <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/versus.com\/en\/mediatek-mt6737m-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">faster than<\/a> the Snapdragon 425. Storage-wise, you don\u2019t get very impressive options. You only get 8 gigs of space along with 1 GB of RAM. Just like the 2.1, apps are cleared because of the lack of RAM. Thankfully, you can expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We\u2019re not fans of its battery. It\u2019s only <strong>2280 mAh<\/strong>. The Y3 (2018) lasts less than a day. Regular 10 W charging works on the device. As you can imagine, it takes a very long time to charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera-wise \u2013 there is a single set-up on its rear. It\u2019s an 8 MP sensor. The lens on its front is 2 MP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Nokia_C2\"><\/span>Nokia C2<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The C2 is <b>5.7 inches<\/b>. Considering that we\u2019re fans of large devices, we appreciate this. The handset was released in 2020 \u2013 this explains its bump in size. Not only is it bigger, but it\u2019s heavier too. There is also plastic on its back \u2013 it\u2019s soft to the touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the display, you\u2019re met with an <b>IPS LCD screen<\/b>. You\u2019re probably aware of how the panel works. The phone\u2019s screen resolution is better than the 2.1\u2019s \u2013 it is <b>720 x 1440 pixels<\/b>. What about its screen-to-body ratio? Well, it\u2019s not the best, but it\u2019s better than its counterpart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll have to be careful with it \u2013 the device has a front that\u2019s regular strengthened glass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Nokia-C2-Sri-Lanka.jpg\" alt=\"Nokia C2 - Sri Lanka\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" title=\"Nokia C2 - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The Android version it runs is Android 9. This isn\u2019t too bad \u2013 it is not getting Android 10, though. In terms of the chipset it runs, it is a <b>Unisoc (28nm) chip<\/b> which is not very good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to its memory variants, you\u2019re getting options you\u2019ve seen time and time again. There is 16 GB of space along with 1 GB of RAM which might not be enough. Luckily, you can expand its storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It comes with a battery that\u2019s <b>2800 mAh<\/b>. The phone will last around a day. Its battery life is not as good as the 2.1, so we\u2019re disappointed. When it comes to its charging capabilities, regularly 10 W charging will be utilized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Camera-wise, its options are similar to its brother \u2013 there is a 5 MP sensor on its rear. In the front, there is a 5 MP shooter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Samsung_J2_Core_2020\"><\/span>Samsung J2 Core (2020)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the C2, the J2 Core is a newer handset. It\u2019s the newer version of the J2 Core released in 2018. The device looks better than the 2.1 \u2013 it has a shinier plastic body. From a distance, it is very metallic-like. If you\u2019re looking for a phone that has some heft, it is unfortunately not for you. It is only <b>154 grams<\/b>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although it\u2019s a bit lighter, it\u2019s much smaller than its brother. It is only <b>5 inches<\/b>. Samsung\u2019s a fan of Super AMOLED panels, even in their budget devices. However, the Core (2020) does not come with the display. There is a <b>PLS TFT<\/b> one instead. The panel is an IPS LCD but better. When it comes to its screen-to-body ratio, you\u2019re not looking at very impressive bezel action. Its ratio is only <b>66.7%.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/phoneekak.lk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Samsung-J2-Core-2020-Sri-Lanka.png\" alt=\"Samsung J2 Core 2020 - Sri Lanka\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" title=\"Samsung J2 Core 2020 - Sri Lanka\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What about its screen resolution? It\u2019s not impressive either. The 2.1 eats it up as it\u2019s only&nbsp;<b>540 x 960 pixels.<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like the other alternatives, the glass on its front is the regular strengthened type \u2013 don\u2019t get too rough with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Android it runs is Android 8.1. Yes, the phone runs the Go version (like its alternative and the other contenders). The processor inside it is the <b>Exynos 7570<\/b> chipset. It\u2019s exactly what you\u2019d expect from a budget processor, but it <a style=\"outline: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/nanoreview.net\/en\/soc-compare\/samsung-exynos-7570-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">outdoes the<\/a> Snapdragon 425 in the Nokia 2.1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re getting 16 GB of space along with 1 GB of RAM. Thankfully, there is a MicroSD slot in place. Nokia is known to use Stock Android on their phones. This limits bloatware, so their budget units won\u2019t be impossible to use. Unfortunately, the UI Samsung especially in cheaper units, has a bloatware problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery it has is <b>2600 mAh<\/b> and it won\u2019t last even a day. To charge it, you\u2019ll be utilizing regular 10 W charging. The handset takes well over 2 hours to go from 0-100%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_Thoughts\"><\/span>Final Thoughts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The device performs the way you would expect from a phone its price. Nokia is known to produce budget handsets that deliver. Considering the year and price the 2.1 was released in, we think they did a fair job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However is it good? No \u2013 the phone\u2019s variants did better than it in certain aspects, but they\u2019re nothing to write home about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If you\u2019d like to find devices as cheap as the Nokia 2.1, check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/pg\/PhoneEkak-108331597444576\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Facebook<\/a> page!
