Nokia is now making many great device that run on the Android platform and are able to provide fans with a good alternative to Samsung and Huawei phones. Nokia is a company that has made its mark in the hearts of people and it is selling well even after the windows devices fiasco. Nokia 2.1 is one such device that is making inroads again in the hearts of people for its good design and specifications. The Nokia 2.1 is priced at Rupees 7688 for its base model.
The Nokia 2.1 has a 5.5 inches of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and has a screen resolution of about 720 x 1280 pixels with a pixel density of 267 ppi. The colour reproduction is good and the pixel density helps in displaying sharper images and better blacks. The sunlight viewing is okay but the brightness setting helps in viewing the screen better when turned to full.
The cameras on the Nokia devices have always been the talking point of these devices. The Nokia 2.1 has a single camera in the rear, a 8 MP lens with autofocus functionality. The front camera is a 5 MP lens. The cameras have carl-zeiss optics and the camera app is the only software customized on the device according to the needs of the system. The images taken from the device turn out pretty good and the colour generation is natural and crisp. The exposure is good in most shots and you get better images in good daylight conditions. The selfie shots are good and the images have no beautification. The dual images where both cameras click a picture is also a great implementation of two cameras.
The Nokia 2.1 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chipset with Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 processors and Adreno 308 graphics chipset. The device runs on the Android One program and gets all its android updates as soon as they are released for other pure stock android devices. This is a bonus for purists and other enthusiasts who don’t want company customizations on their devices.
