Nokia Mobile announces entry-level Nokia C12
It was not that long ago that the Nokia TA -1515 showed up on the FCC pages, and now the name and specs have been fully revealed. Nokia Mobile did not even organize an event or want to wait for MWC 2023 to unveil the Nokia C12.
It is a super entry-level phone that takes the design of the Nokia X30. The focus is on build quality, AI for better low-light photos, and design. . The Nokia C12 matches the previous C-series models in colour and rounds out the C-series portfolio with the Nokia C31 and C21 Plus as better devices. The phone introduces the Android 12 Go edition of Android OS and could be considered a better feature phone in a smartphone form factor.
Specs are not available yet, but here’s what I could find on Nokia’s website. The phone has a 6.3-inch HD + display and an octa-core chip that uses virtual memory in additional RAM that the phone carries. The additional RAM is pulled from memory. So to get all the benefits, be careful how you use the memory. The Nokia C12 has an IP52 rating, which means it is protected against limited-range dust ingress, harmful debris, and direct splash water up to 15 degrees from vertical.
The price and availability have not been announced yet. I will add all the details as soon as HMD Global announces them.
