Nokia C20 Plus Verdict

HMD Global-owned Nokia has been slowly trying to woo customers back by launching an array of budget and mid-budget phones. Earlier this year, the company introduced new C-series, G-series and X-series smartphones at a global launch event. Then later, it added new smartphones to its budget C-series. One of the smartphones that it added to the list is the Nokia C20 Plus. It is the successor to the company’s C20 smartphone that was launched in the beginning of this year and it competes with the likes of the Realme C21Y and Redmi 9i in India.The Nokia C20 Plus is available in two variants in India. The 2GB+32GB variant costs INR 8,999, while the 3GB+32GB variant, which we are using for this review, costs INR 9,999. It packs a 6.5-inch display with a Unisoc processor, an 8MP primary camera, and 4,950mAh battery and it runs on Android Go, which is Google’s mobile OS for low-budget smartphones.These specs don’t necessarily help the Nokia C20 Plus stand out amid the low-budget smartphones in India, especially since the competition is stiff and rivals are offering a slightly more competitive feature range at this point. But that doesn’t necessarily mean that the Nokia C20 Plus isn’t worth your attention.We will take you through the workings of the Nokia C20 Plus in the review below. So keep reading...Nokia C20 Plus: DesignThe Nokia C20 Plus measures 165.4x75.85x9.35mm and weighs 205g. It comes with a plastic body with a fingerprint design at the back. This design makes up for a tight grip in hands and it ensures that the phone doesn’t slip or slide at all. It also makes the phone smudge-proof.Moving further, the Nokia C20 Plus has volume rockers and a power button on the right side with volume keys being placed above the power button. This makes up for an uncomfortable experience, especially while using the phone single-handedly. On the top, it has a 3.5mm jack and at the bottom, there is a charging port. At the back, there is a circular camera module that is placed in the middle on the top. Diagonally right at the bottom is the speaker. The phone lacks a fingerprint sensor and the Google Assistant button that has been a standard feature in the new Nokia phones.Design aside, the Nokia C20 Plus is a bulky phone. While it sits comfortably in the palm of your hand and is easy to use single-handedly, it looks clunky and is heavy to hold. Overall, the Nokia C20 Plus fails to impress in the design department.
