NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Nokia C200 is the most complete choice: it has the strongest display, camera and battery showing of the three. The Nokia C100 suits buyers who value connectivity and sharpness, while the Nokia C21 mainly makes sense for more storage and a larger screen.
The C200 has 4000 mAh, against 3000 mAh in both the C100 and C21, and its 13 MP main camera exceeds their 8 MP cameras. Its front camera is also 8 MP versus 5 MP, and it adds slow-motion video; the C100 and C200 record 1080p at 30 fps, while the C21 stops at 720p at 30 fps.
The C100 has the highest display density at 295 ppi, against 282 ppi for the C200 and 269 ppi for the C21, plus Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.0 and Dual SIM. The C21 counters with 64 GB versus 32 GB and a 6.52″ screen, compared with 5.45″ on the C100 and 6.09″ on the C200, but its Geekbench 6 Multi-Core score is 725 versus 1145 for the other two; it is the buy only if it costs less.
