Nokia C21 (2/32GB) Makes a Stylish Entry into Pakistan's Mobile Arena

HMD Global has finally introduced the Nokia C21 in Pakistan after a long wait since its global debut at MWC 2022. The device embraces Nokia’s classic design, featuring a thick chin and bezels that bring a nostalgic touch.

Priced affordably at Rs. 16,000/-, the Nokia C21 aims to provide dependable performance without stretching budgets. It runs on the UNISOC SC9863A chipset, an older octa-core processor built on a 28nm architecture. While its 1.6GHz speed might not be groundbreaking, the lightweight Android 11 Go Edition ensures a smooth user experience.

True to Nokia’s promise, the C21 will receive two years of operating system and security updates. The Pakistani variant offers 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage (eMMC 5.1), with the option to expand storage using a dedicated MicroSD slot.

The rear of the Nokia C21 hosts an 8MP main camera within a circular module, paired with a flash. On the front, there’s a 5MP selfie camera. Also located on the back are a fingerprint sensor and a speaker grille.

The device is powered by a 3000mAh battery, charged through a Micro-USB port. Its 6.5-inch display comes with a small notch and offers a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, delivering HD+ clarity.

Available in stylish Dark Blue and Warm Gray colors, the Nokia C21 combines nostalgic design with practical functionality, making it a strong contender in the budget smartphone market.
