HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, has announced that the Nokia 2.1 smartphone will be available in the UAE starting August 8 at a price of Dh389 ($106).

This addition completes the portfolio of new Nokia Android smartphones that have been launched in the previous month. Together with Nokia 5.1 and Nokia 3.1, Nokia 2 also offers access to the latest Google services, such as the Google Assistant, and continues to deliver a pure, secure and up-to-date Android experience with Android One and Android Go, combined with the premium craftsmanship and design expected from a Nokia smartphone and the performance to match.

Nokia 2.1 comes with a two-day battery life, a large 5.5-inch HD screen and dual front-facing stereo speakers. The Nokia 2.1’s 4,000mAh battery now charges even faster so you can get back up and running even more quickly than before.

With its HD display almost 20 per cent bigger than the original, you can enjoy high-definition videos on the go while the dual speakers with bespoke 3D formed stainless steel detail gives you an amazing stereo sound.

Nokia 2.1’s sleek, rounded and ergonomically designed, inherently coloured polycarbonate back keeps your phone safe, vibrant and robust against scratches, a statement said.

The upgraded Qualcomm Snapdragon 425, 64-bit Mobile Platform gives fans the 50 per cent faster and smoother performance they asked for with fast switching between apps. You can capture the action wherever you are with the Nokia 2.1’s 5MP front-facing and 8MP rear camera with auto focus.

Nokia 2.1 comes with Android Oreo (Go edition), designed for smartphones with 1GB RAM or less, giving you a smooth Android experience, more storage out of the box and consuming less data. All three phones are ready for Android P.

The new Nokia 2.1 will come in three metallic colours: Blue/Copper, Blue/Silver and Grey/Silver. – TradeArabia News Service
