Editorial report
Nokia C21 2 GB / 32 GB / International technical sheet
The Nokia C21 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with dual SIM and expandable storage; its main trade-offs are 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of storage, and a low-capacity battery. This version pairs Android 11 with 2 GB / 32 GB, and a memory card can add storage. It also has dual Nano-SIM and a 3.5 mm audio jack, useful features for keeping two lines or using wired audio.
The IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches and has a density of 269 ppi, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 8 MP camera resolution is among the lowest of its time. The 3,000 mAh battery is also among the smallest, while 10 W charging is slower than most phones of that period offer. Those are meaningful limitations for anyone who prioritizes screen detail, photography, or battery capacity.
The Nokia C21 earns a NeoScore of 2.3 and ranks among the weakest phones of its time overall. Limited memory, a low-density display, an 8 MP camera, and a small battery make it a straightforward choice for someone who needs basic Android functions, dual SIM, and expandable storage.
