Editorial report
Nokia C3 2 GB / 16 GB / Global technical sheet
The Nokia C3 suits buyers looking for a basic phone, provided they can accept a 3,040 mAh battery with less capacity than most phones launched around the same time. Its 5 W charging is among the weakest of that era, making both capacity and charging drawbacks for anyone who prioritizes them.
The 5.99-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1,440 px resolution. Its 400-nit peak brightness is among the lowest of phones launched around the same time, and its 269 ppi is lower than most. Performance is also among the weakest: AnTuTu v8 records 27,675 points. The 8 MP camera is among the lowest-resolution cameras of its time and records video at 1080p and 30 fps. Camera performance as a whole is among the weakest, while connectivity is worse than most phones from the same period.
At 184.5 g, the Nokia C3 weighs less than the average phone of its time; at 8.7 mm thick, it is also slightly thinner than average. This version has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, and the phone is also sold with 3 GB / 32 GB. Storage is expandable. It supports two Nano-SIM cards and includes Android 10, FM radio and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 2.7, among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. That makes it a basic option, but one with clear limits in battery, display and performance.
