HMD Global’s 2.3 arrives with a trendy design for €109

HMD Global jas just announced a new smartphone today in Egypt. While most folks were anticipating the launch of the Nokia 8.2, the event was actually for the launch of the Nokia 2.3. HMD Global’s new phone is an entry-level device with a beautiful design and a battery life that should last up to 2 days.

Nokia 2.3 Design
The Nokia 2.3 might as well be one of the best-designed entry-level smartphones released this year. While it has a waterdrop notch like a lot of phones released this year, it is actually the back that scores points for beauty.
The back is a polymer shell with a 3D nano-textured design that looks really good, and we bet, even feels better when held. HMD Global rounds off the design with a diecast metal chassis for the frame.
The phone comes in Cyan Green, Cyan, and Charcoal. While you won’t go wrong with any of the color variants you choose, we are particularly fond of the Cyan Green.
Like other Nokia phones released recently such as the Nokia 4.2, the Nokia 2.3 has a dedicated Google Assistant Button.

Nokia 2.3 Specifications
The Nokia 2.3 has a 6.2-inch in-cell display with an HD+ resolution, a waterdrop notch, and a 19:9 aspect ratio.
There is an Helio A22 quad-core processor inside the phone along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. A MicroSD card slot allows for up to an additional 512GB of storage.
The Nokia 2.3 has dual rear cameras – a 13MP f/2.2 camera and a 2MP depth-sensing camera. There is a Night Mode and a feature called Recommended Shot that takes 15 photos before and 15 photos after you press the shutter button and presents you with the best. It is able to do this using AI.
There is a 5MP f/2.4 camera and it supports Face Unlock. The phone packs a 4000mAh battery but supports only 5V 1A charging via a MicroUSB port. It also has an audio jack, Bluetooth 5.0, and an FM radio.



HMD Global says the phone is ready for Android 10 and beyond and promises 2 years of software upgrades and 3 years of security updates. It actually ships with Android 9 Pie.
