Nokia 2.1 Plus

The Nokia 2.1 Plus is an improved and a larger screen size variant of the Nokia 2.1. The main upgrade that Nokia 2.1 Plus brings over its sibling is a notched display, and a newer, more powerful processor. The notched display helps the device to achieve higher screen-to-body ratio, while the newer processor gives the device a faster performance and an improved battery backup. The Nokia 2.1 Plus currently the second cheapest Android-based smartphone from Nokia in India.

As I ve mentioned earlier, the Nokia 2.1 Plus comes with a notched display. It helps the device to achieve higher screen-to-body ratio. Thanks to the notched design, the screen is now larger than before, measuring 6-inches. The display size is larger than what most competitors offer, giving it an edge over other smartphones in the price range. The resolution is now HD+ as opposed HD on its sibling. However, it is just a marginal improvement, and it doesn t benefit a lot in real-life usage.

The Nokia 2.1 had an 8-megapixel rear camera. However, the new Nokia 2.1 Plus comes with a higher resolution, 13-megapixel camera. Although we haven t tested the device yet, we think it might most probably provide a better image quality than what Nokia 2.1 offers. As you might expect, the rear camera can record Full HD videos. The front-facing camera is the same 5MP unit that its lower-priced sibling has.

The Nokia 2.1 Plus comes with the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 processor. It is more powerful, as well as, more power-efficient than the Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 processor that is in the Nokia 2.1. The smartphone comes in only one variant, and that variant has 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. As for the operating system, the Nokia 2.1 Plus too has a Go version of the Android 8.1 Oreo just like that in the Nokia 2.1. In case you are wondering what Go version is, it is a lighter variant of Android, and it is targeted towards smartphones with less amount of processing power so that they can run smoothly.

The Nokia 2.1 Plus continues to come with the same 4000mAh battery that is in the Nokia 2.1. The Nokia 2.1 Plus has a larger screen which might consume more power than the display in the Nokia 2.1. Hence, the battery backup of the Nokia 2.1 Plus might not be as good as that of the Nokia 2. However, the processor in the Nokia 2.1 Plus is more power-efficient, that should help it.
