HMD Global just brought the Nokia C21 into the country, competing in the saturated entry-level market.
For a quick recap, the Nokia C21 was introduced abroad back in February featuring a set of less stellar specs and features. For one, it’s powered by a 1.6GHz octa-core processor and only has a small 3,000mAh battery that charges via the old microUSB standard.

At the very least, the device does come with a power-efficient Android 11 Go edition and a pretty fancy metal build. Nokia has also committed to providing 2 years of quarterly security updates.
The rest of the specs are quite standard. There’s a sufficient 6.52-inch HD+ screen, a fingerprint scanner, a 13-megapixel camera on the back, a 5-megapixel on the front, and a 2GB of RAM with 32GB of expandable storage.

You can get the Nokia C21 in the Philippines for a price of Php5,490 via MemoXpress online.
