Editorial report

Nokia C12 Plus technical sheet

The Nokia C12 Plus suits buyers looking for a basic Android phone who value a removable battery and support for two Nano-SIM cards. Its main trade-off is memory: this version has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage, both among the lowest figures for phones of its time.

The IPS LCD display measures 6.3″, has a resolution of 720 px × 1520 px and reaches 400 nits peak brightness. Its 267 ppi density and brightness are among the lowest of its time. The rear camera has 8 MP resolution and no optical image stabilization; the camera specifications are also among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. Its 4000 mAh battery capacity is among the lowest of its time, although the battery is removable.

The processor is a Unisoc SC9863A1, and its AnTuTu result of 115,000 is among the lowest of its time. Connectivity includes two Nano-SIM cards, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, Galileo and microUSB, while overall connectivity is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. It runs Android 12. With a NeoScore of 3.2, the Nokia C12 Plus ranks among the weakest phones of its time. It makes sense for buyers seeking basic Android features, but its memory, display, camera and battery figures are clear limitations.
