Nokia is a name that should be familiar to all smartphone enthusiasts in India. In fact, there is a good chance that your first mobile phone was made by Nokia. The company is known for its amazing value-for-money phones that offer everything that a user needs at a very good price. This level of trust and value can be seen in its latest smartphone, the Nokia C12. A quick look at the spec sheet seems to suggest that the phone will continue the company’s tradition of offering a straightforward device that offers everything that one will need without resorting to any gimmicky features.
In fact, the smartphone is available at an introductory price of Rs 5,999. This is something that will delight the budget-conscious consumer. It also reaffirms Nokia’s commitment to the mass market. At a time when most major brands are moving away from the mass market segment in favour of launching more expensive devices.

In fact, Nokia sees entry-level customers as its main audience!
Here’s a look at what the smartphone has to offer:

It features a Night Mode and a Portrait Mode. This means that you can enjoy taking some fancy shots if you want. However, if you prefer taking selfies, then the 5MP unit at the front should suffice.
Clean, simple, and secure user experience
The Nokia C12 comes with Android 12 (Go Edition). This means you get a very streamlined OS that is free from any unnecessary apps that may take up storage space. On top of this, apps on Android 12 (Go Edition) launch 30 percent faster, with smoother animation as compared to the previous edition. Users also get a bunch of handy features to ensure faster speeds. This includes the automatic clean-up of the app cache when the screen is off. Further, users can clean up any unnecessary apps running in the background with just a tap. To ensure apps such as music apps continue to run in the background, users can also make a whitelist to exclude certain apps.
As Nokia has developed an impressive reputation for offering timely updates to its phones over the years, you can expect the Nokia C12 to offer you a similar experience. With regular software and security updates, the handset will offer you latest features along with a secure experience for the foreseeable future.A tough cookie – Nokia durability legacy is in safe hands
