Editorial report
Nokia C21 Plus 2 GB / 32 GB / International technical sheet
The Nokia C21 Plus suits anyone looking for a basic phone who puts battery capacity first; its main trade-offs are performance and cameras among the weakest of its time. This version pairs 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage, and the phone is also sold in a 4 GB / 64 GB configuration. Storage is expandable, and the phone supports two Nano-SIM cards.
Its 5,050 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time. The 10 W charging, however, is slower than most. The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 269 ppi density, lower than most of its contemporaries. Overall, its design and display are worse than most phones of its time.
Performance is among the weakest of its time: the Nokia C21 Plus records 109,200 points in AnTuTu v9. Its 13 MP camera resolution is lower than most, and its camera setup is among the weakest; video recording reaches 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity is also among the weakest, though it includes LTE, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS and a 3.5 mm audio jack.
With Android 11 and a rear fingerprint sensor, it is a straightforward choice for basic needs when battery capacity matters most. Its overall NeoScore is 3.1. The verdict: an entry-level phone with a strong battery capacity, but clear limits in performance, display and photography.
