Nokia has released two new smartphones in the Philippines within a week. One of them is the new Nokia C31.
The new Nokia C31 was launched locally alongside the premium X30. Being a budget phone, it’s only powered by a UNISOC SC9863A, with the unit we’re getting here getting having 4GB of RAM and a generous 128GB of expandable storage.

It also has a low-resolution 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel on the front. Also, for some reason, it still charges via microUSB.
On the upside, it does boast an enormous 6.7-inch display, albeit only with an HD+ pixel resolution.

It also has a 5,050mAh battery, which Nokia claims can last for up to 3 days, but is only paired with a 10W charger.
As a cherry on top, it runs on a clean Android 12 operating system for a streamlined experience and even comes with IP52 ingress protection.

The Nokia C31 is available in the Philippines for a price of Php8,490.
