HMD Global announced three new smartphones today in partnership with Cricket Wireless. The phones which are members of the C-series are the Nokia C5 Endi, Nokia C2 Tava, and Nokia C2 Tennen.
Nokia C5 Endi
The Nokia C5 Endi looks like the Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2 with its waterdrop notch and its cookie-shaped triple rear cameras. However, it is not a rebadge of any of the aforementioned phones.
The phone has a 6.517-inch HD+ screen (720 x 1600) with a pretty thick lower bezel. The body of the phone is made from high-tech polycarbonate that HMD Global claims is light but solid and has “a rigid unibody structure designed to take on the everyday knocks of life”.
It is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 processor with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage that can be expanded via a MicroSD card slot.
The triple rear cameras are a 13MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera app comes with features such as AI scene detection, Recommended Shot, Low-light photography, and Portrait mode. The selfie camera is an 8MP sensor.
The Nokia C5 Endi has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and underneath the polycarbonate body is a 4000mAh battery with support for 10W charging (5W charger included in the box). It has Bluetooth 5.0, an audio jack, FM radio, a dedicated Google Assistant button, and a single nano-SIM slot. HMD Global ships the phone with Android 10 out of the box
The Nokia C5 Endi will be available for purchase from Cricket Wireless beginning June 5, 2020, for $169.99. It will come in a single color variant called Midnight Blue.
Nokia C2 Tava and Nokia C2 Tennen
Both phones share the same specs all through but sell for different prices. They do look like the Nokia 2.3 but are actually much smaller.
The two phones have a 5.45-inch HD+ display with thick bezels at the top and bottom of the screen. There is MediaTek’s Helio A22 chipset under the hood along with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage.
Users will get two rear cameras – an 8MP primary camera and a 2MP secondary camera. There is also a 5MP camera in front for selfies and it has its own flash.
There is no fingerprint scanner but you get advanced AI Face Unlock which the Nokia C5 Endi also has. You also get a dedicated Google Assistant button, an audio jack, a USB Type-C port, Bluetooth 4.2, and an FM radio.
The two phones ship with 3000mAh batteries with support for 10W charging, however, you only get a 5V 1A charger in the box. Android 10 comes pre-installed with both phones.
The Nokia C2 Tava is priced at $109.99 and will be available in Tempered Blue at Cricket Wireless retail stores and on the Cricket Wireless website beginning May 29, 2020.
The Nokia C2 Tennen will sell for $69.99 and will be available in Steel at select National retail stores beginning June 15, 2020.
HMD Global may still launch these phones under different names in other markets.
