HMD Global just unveiled a couple of new Nokia hardware. Some of them are the new Nokia C21 and C21 Plus.
First, let’s talk about the new Nokia C21 Plus, which now boasts a metal build and even comes with an official IP52 rating for being splash resistant. It also has a sturdier glass, albeit the actual brand used was not mentioned.
Still, the C21 Plus is positioned in the entry-level market. It comes with a decent 6.5-inch HD+ screen, runs on Android 11 Go Edition software, and is powered by a UNISOC octa-core processor that can be had with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
