As the last of the Nokia brick generation reaches adulthood, the company has decided to launch a new entry-level model, to help these kids buy their first phone with their own money (they are definitely less likely to throw these out of their windows or into pools though). The C21 Plus bring to the market, a massive battery and a slim design (strange, right) at an affordable starting price of ₹10,299.
Sporting a 6.5in HD+ display, the latest C series model comes with Android 11 (Go edition) and a 5050mAh battery which delivers up to three days of battery life. It's powered by an octa-core Unisoc SC9863A processor.
On the camera front, it features a pretty standard 13MP dual camera with HDR technology and a 5MP front camera. The smartphone also comes with fingerprint and AI face unlock technology to ensure privacy and security. The phone is available in Dark Cyan and Warm Grey colour options with 3GB RAM + 32GB storage and 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variants.
Now for the real fun parts– the smartphone has made an attempt to live up to the Nokia name, with a “build quality to stand the test of time”. The body is supported by an inner metal chassis in addition to the toughened cover glass. It flaunts an IP52 rating for extra protection from dirt, dust and water droplets, so your daily adventures are not interrupted. It may not be the bricks we grew up with, but hey it's the next best thing for not a lot of coins.
