Some digging reveals that the chipset in question is a UNISOC SC9863A. It was launched in 2019 and packs four ARM Cortex-A55 cores clocked at 1.6GHz and four at 1.2GHz. The chip is based on a 28nm process node and has been featured in several low-profile devices from iTel, Lava, Gionee, Dogee, Panasonic, Lenovo, and even HTC. We can’t quite figure out why the Nokia C20 Plus runs this somewhat antiquated chipset when there are clearly better alternatives from Qualcomm and MediaTek.
We already know that the Nokia C20 Plus will ship with two rear camera modules, a 100% increase compared to the Nokia C20. Unfortunately, the phone won’t ship with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. That feature seems to be reserved for the Nokia C30. There is, however, a silver lining to the Nokia C20 Plus, though. It is tipped to features a 5,000mAh battery. That, combined with its relatively low-power SoC should allow for stellar battery life, although many would sacrifice that for some additional performance.
