Impressions
It is very good to see Nokia looking after budget market. The undeniable truth is that biggest market can’t be skipped. Looking at the SOC, SD 212 is quite a bit same as SD 410 in terms of performance but 212 doesn’t have 64 bit capability. There are few great things on Nokia 2 which makes it more appealing.
It has one of the biggest battery in this range which is just great. The Nokia 2 is also running with pure Android and no skin overlay. It gives clean and smooth experience. 1 GB RAM is becoming insufficient these days and we recommend getting 2 GB RAM minimum. But at this budget, we appreciate the hardware from the company. They could have gone for at-least 1.5 GB. Considering HD display, giant battery and good software, Nokia 2 is a good phone.
