HMD Global yesterday launched another budget device into the 2-series, the Nokia 2.2. This device is no flagship killer or device that you think will wow you, its just a solid entry into the budget competition.
The Nokia 2.2 comes with a 5.7" notched LCD display (1520x720) 19:9 aspect ratio. The device will be powered by a quad-core Mediatek Helio A22 SoC and will be available in 2GB RAM and 16GB internal memory, and 3GB RAM and 32GB internal memory option.
At the rear of the device is an AI-powered 13MP camera that Nokia says is capable of taking low-light and HDR photos. There's a 5MP camera housed within the notch for taking selfies. Now when you look at the rear of the device, you will notice that there's no finger print sensor. Nokia says that the 5MP front camera will double as selfie camera and Face unlock.#GetAhead with advanced AI with the new Nokia 2.2. #Nokia2 #Nokiamobile #BetterWithNokiamobile pic.twitter.com/OuHNowxKfz— Nokia Mobile (@NokiaMobile) June 6, 2019
Packed within the device is a 3,000mAh removable battery which is quite rare to see any phone these days with it, a micro-USB charging port which is quit out dated and a dedicated Google Assistant button to activate the Assistant for voice control.
