Nokia 2.3 offers a vanilla Android experience with regular updates for under £100

Nokia has today launched the sub-£100 Nokia 2.3 in the UK, with a clean Android 10 install and the promise of updates.

Shipping with Android 10 out of the box, and promising two years of OS updates as well as three years of security updates, the Nokia 2.3 is the latest budget offering in Nokia’s ever growing family of phones.

Last year, Nokia was deemed to be the best manufacturer when it came to delivering OS updates.

The Nokia 2.3 will be available via Amazon, Argos, Very and AO.com. In March, this extends to Three, Tesco and Carphone Warehouse.

So what of the handset? Well, it comes with a large 6.2-inch HD+ display (720×1520 pixels), and battery life (from the 4,000mAh capacity battery) that is quoted as good enough for two days usage.

Camera wise there’s a dual-camera on the rear, consisting of a 12-megapixel primary camera and 2-megapixel depth-camera for portrait photos, while inside the teardrop notch up front is a 5-megapixel selfie camera.

The phone will also take multiple shots for low-light conditions, utilising ‘image fusion’ and ‘exposure stacking’ to blend them all together into an enhanced photo.

The Nokia 2.3 comes with a choice of charcoal, cyan green or pink sand colours, and the rear features a 3D nano-textured cover that allows you to maintain a firm and reassured grip on the phone.

Hardware wise, the phone is powered by a MediaTek MT6761 Helio A22 SoC with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage space.

There’s dual SIM capability with a Cat 4 modem offering 4G speeds of up to 150Mbps down and 50Mbps up.
