Design and Display
Though an entry-level smartphone, Nokia 2.1 isn't a slouch when it comes to build and design. The device is crammed in a body with an aluminum frame and a plastic back. The slight curves around the back and and edges allows for ease of handling while upfront is a stereo speaker configuration for an immersive multimedia experience.
Nokia 2.1 comes with a 16:9 aspect ratio display and there is no fingerprint sensor on the back which may or may not be a hard compromise for buyers. The phone is released in three colour variants; Black/Copper, Blue/Copper, White/Iron
A 5.5-inch HD display is what users get on the Nokia 2.1. The display, which gets a Corning Gorilla Glass protection, comes in at 1280 x 720 pixel resolution with a 267 ppi which should provide clarity and vibrancy when viewing multimedia contents and reading text.
Camera, Hardware and Software
The Nokia 2.1 sports an 8-megapixel camera on the back which is coupled with an LED flash. The rear camera has features like auto-focus and can shoot 720p videos at 30 frames-per-second. You get a 5-megapixel front-facing camera on the Nokia 2.1 which serves for taking decent selfies at best. There is also no LED flash present here.Performance-wise, Nokia 2.1 should provide a decent experience. A Snapdragon 425 SoC is what powers it and the quad-core CPU runs at 1.4 GHz. The device runs on 1GB of RAM and has a base storage of 8 GB, which can be increased with a 128 GB memory card. Nokia 2.1 boots on stock Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition) and should receive an update to Android P soon.
