Nokia 2 - Android - 8GB - Dual SIM Unlocked Smartphone (AT&T/T-Mobile/MetroPCS/Cricket/H2O) - 5" Screen - Black - U.S. Warranty

Before i took the plastic wrap off or even turned it on, i was very impressed by the weight and feel of the Nokia 2. Weighing in at 162 grams, she's got some Gravity in her! It feels good. I bought this phone because; I have owned two Windows Nokia Lumia's. before, and both were excellent! (The Nokia 2 being no exception =D) The advertised battery capacity. A "Pure" android operating system. Nokia delivered just that and more! The build quality and feel is beautiful. I bought a white model, and the two tone black metal bezel to the white body is very smooth. The screen, for a 720x1280 res @ 296 Display PPI, looks very good. Nokia states that this is an energy efficient screen. It looks good compared to a Samsung. The performance of the phone is slow. Not fast. Again, Nokia stated that this is an energy efficient CPU. I am a very demanding performance enthusiast! I like fast cars, and Fast computers! That said, i am not disappointed by the phones performance at all. It is a quality Snapdragon CPU, so i am sure it will churn through many tasks very steadily. Using this as a daily driver, along with a more powerful tablet, might be a good strategy to consider for power users. Just saying. I am writing this review about 24 hours after the unboxing, and it is above half battery life since initial charge. And i leaned on the camera and downloaded, installed and configured almost 100 apps. I will be pushing this phone. It accepted a 128gb micro sd card. So, mem is not an issue with the initial 8gb and the Clean and Bloatware Free Android Os allows you to control where you store what. Device could very easily be bootloader unlocked and flashed, if that's your thing. I might try Lineage os at some time, but i see no reason as this is one of the cleanest Android OS's i've ridden so far. Camera doesn't seem to be on par with previous Nokia's with the Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. No problem, its still a great value. And i have yet to get a feel for it. TBD. . . I think this is a great product and just want to shout out to the engineers who put the Nokia 2 on the shelf, you guys are all right in my book. Update 2026: I was medically injured in 2022 and it brought a tear to my eye to read this and reflect on how passionate and sharp I used to be. Be careful out there people, we need community to survive!

This is a great cheap smartphone for under $100. Sure it is not very good in the spec department but depending on what you are looking for it might be the right choice. As mentioned earlier the specs are nothing special. It is definitely the weakest part of this phone. From personal experience the performance feels like on par with a Samsung Galaxy S5 or an iPhone 5s. If you are someone who always gets the latest phone, you will be disappointed. I'll highlight a couple positive things that this phone does well. This phone is perfect for someone who doesn't use any demanding apps. Forget about most games. Don't worry though because calls, texts, email, and chatting work perfectly. I see it as the best communication device under $100. I'm using this device as a back up/travel phone. I currently have an AT&T and a T-Mobile SIM in the dual slots. The phone can switch between them on the fly. You can route calls and data between the two SIMs automatically or manually choose it each time you place a call. Most dual SIM phones I've used don't handle it this seamlessly or they make you switch one line off before switching to the other one. The status bar shows the signal strength of each line and also the type of connection (LTE, 4G, 3G, etc...). Keep in mind that each frequency of the radio can only be used once. This means if the 4G connection for each SIM you have uses the same frequency, then SIM #1 will get the priority and #2 will fall back to the next available. The Nokia 2 really shines in the dual SIM functionality. The processor used in this phone is the snapdragon 212. It does not use much power since it is not very high performing. This combined with the huge battery (4000mAh) means you really do get great battery life. I have the brightness set to the max, wifi and bt on, two SIMs, after a day of use (7am-7pm) I still have 75% battery left. This is on track to get me two days of standby, you could probably stretch it if you power down over night or go into battery saver modes. One neutral point of this phone is the storage space. It is only 8GB with about half of that available after the OS is considered, since it has expandable storage I didn't make this a negative. A microSD card is a must with this phone. Get a decent SD card and combine it with the internal storage. The phone isn't that fast so you won't really notice much performance difference between launching apps off the internal memory vs the sd card. Don't get this phone to play games, fly your drone, or for the camera. Get this if you need the connectivity of dual SIMs and the long battery life. EDIT: I also forgot to mention that Nokia has promised continued support for Android 8 and 9 for their new phones that were released this year, the Nokia 2 was included in this announcement as well.

This phone is absolutely terrible. I was able to get it started okay but the first time I tried to make a call the screen went black and the call appeared to have not gone thru. I was just stuck with a black, blank screen. I didn't know what to do I just couldn't believe it! So, I pressed the on/off button a couple if tine and just shut the phone off completely to restart it. I was given no option to get back to the call, I didn't know what to do? Meanwhile, on the other end my call had gone thru! The person I was calling was on the other end saying.... hello, hello, hello, and wondering what was going on! Not cool when your calling your boss, not cool at all! This happened twice, and in my first two phone calls and that was enough for me. Because of the trouble I was having I set it aside for a couple of weeks and then decided I was just going to return it. But, I was unable to get it back within the 30 days so I decided I might as well keep it and try to work with it. Now I can't get it to work at all (it's been kind 4 months) because with the time passing and not using it I forgot my password! Of course I've been online doing little tricks to get past this and learn how to reboot it and start it from factory conditions and all that but nothing works! I have started the process successfully and it will look like its going to work but nothing ever works in the end. I just can't get any further with it. Now it's telling me I have to use my Google account i started with but when I try to put it in it doesn't take my information. So I am stuck in this perpetual mode of that blue screen and trying to get it activated and it's driving me mad! I've tried everything. Well, maybe not everything but the thing I am being asked to do to get thru the google lassoed, I have no idea how to go about and I'm just at my wits end with this. It's been over 4 months now and I haven't been as to get it to work almost the entire time. I will try to fix it again I suppose when I have the time and patience but wtf! This is such a pain. I've wasted so many hours on soo many hours nights trying to fix this and I still can't get the stupid thing to work! AT ALL! It just won't let me last this initial blue screen. I can't get past this stupid google account thing. Damn google! This is so frustrating! I have wasted my money and now my time trying to fix this and get this phone to work. It's been a nightmare. I wish I could just get my money back, I haven't even used it! But, they say no returns after 30 days. It doesn't make sense when they're selling a faulty product! And frankly it's not not fair and not right, nor is it fair or right on the part of Google either, I never asked to sign up with Google. I was forced to.

It does what you need a smartphone to do, it just does it very, very slowly. Excellent build quality and amazing battery life. We were promised Android 8 months ago and it is still stuck on 7.1. Meanwhile some other Nokias are on the short list for Android 9. At this point I doubt it will ever be updated, if they actually cared about keeping their promises they would have either released 8.1 by now or officially stated it's not possible. Like I said, it does what it's supposed to do and will probably last a long time, just don't expect too much from it.

I purchased this for my wife to replace a Nokia Lumia 521. She uses it primarily for phone and text, and taking pictures. It is a perfectly adequate device for her needs (and is reviewed in that context). Coming from the unsupported Windows Phone ecosystem, it was also a nice perk to install a few home automation apps on the new phone. This device will not win any awards for speed, but in this case, that isn't an issue. It calls, it texts, it takes pictures. Switching between apps is a little slow, but not annoyingly so. It is pretty much stock Android (as of this review, it is running Android 7.1.1, 8.1 is in beta for the device but I won't subject my spouse to beta testing). The build quality of the device is top notch. It feels more like a mid-range device than a budget handset (especially compared to the old Lumia 521). The screen is clear and sharp. I added a basic case and screen protector to the phone just in case. Storage is definitely a compromise. After installing updates, about 3 GB of 8 GB were still free. If you want to install apps or take pictures, you'll want a microSD card. Fortunately we had one from her old phone, so that wasn't any extra cost at this time. Overall, this is a solid budget device, and I definitely recommend it. Pros: -Low cost -Stock Android -Receives Android updates -Good build quality -Decent battery life -Nice screen Cons (this is a budget device and these are definitely not dealbreakers): -A little slow -Low storage

For $100.00 in 2018, I think this is the budget phone to beat. Let me emphasize, this is a entry level smartphone, but the build quality is great. I have a OnePlus 5 myself and was very surprised how well the Nokia 2 compared when I unboxed it. I bought two of these for my parents at Christmas and they've had no issues with them running on T-Mobile. My daughter's hand-me-down Nexus 5 recently tanked and I just can't see spending much more than this on a phone for a teen. To me, excellent battery life and continued updates is more important than a little extra ram or faster processor. I considered the Amazon Moto e4 or e4 Plus, but those are towards the end of their life cycle and are never going to see Android 8.0. The Nokia 2 is at least slated to receive 8.1. Pros: - Cost - Great screen picture (no its not AMOLED etc... but were talking $100 phone here) - Very good call quality on T-Mobile, have yet to setup daughters phone on AT&T but will update once done - Large batttery - Dual Sim - Expandable Memory - Vanilla Android, not heavily skinned - Update to at least Android 8.1 Cons: - Sluggish Performance - Built in 8gb memory is over 1/2 gone as soon as you start up the phone - OK camera

The Nokia 2 is by far the cheapest Android phone one can get with timely Android security updates every month. The next closest is probably the Nokia 3, but the Nokia 3 is not available with a US warranty. The Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus, which may be the prominent competitors to the Nokia 2, do not receive security updates monthly. I would never buy either of them. The Moto X4, which is part of the Android One program and therefore receives security patches monthly, was intended partly to provide a cheaper alternative to Google Pixel models with Project Fi. However, "cheaper" still means a price tag of around $300 at the very least for the Moto X4. I suspect and hope there's a sizable niche of people like me, who are dying for an Android phone that receives timely security updates every month and who don't want to pay for a Pixel or Moto X4 or an Android Blackberry (not super inexpensive and from what I can tell not always super timely with monthly security patches). As a result, I was very excited about the Nokia 2's prompt availability in the US. However, I was sorely disappointed to find out that the phone I received, which shipped out on December 7, only had the September 1, 2017 security patch. It didn't even have the September 5, 2017 security patch, which patched a critical WiFi vulnerability, one that would allow the attacker to take over the phone just by being within WiFi range when WiFi was turned on for the phone. I can't believe it. The Nokia 2 was publicly announced on October 31, 2017. Surely, it should have shipped with at least the September 5, 2017 patch, if not the October 1 or October 5 patches. This is complacent and irresponsible. I haven't tried yet, but I doubt I will be allowed to update over cellular, which means that when I try over WiFi to get the WiFi patch released in the September 5, 2017 update, I'll be exposing myself to the WiFi attack. While I may have higher security requirements than most people, this is reason enough for me to be returning the phone. All the complaints about security aside, the Nokia 2 is a very decent phone. It looks very elegant, in a subdued and minimalistic way. Sitting next to my iPhones (5s, 6, and 10), the Nokia 2 looked more aesthetically pleasing than the much more expensive iPhones. As for what might not be immediately apparent unless seen in person, there are several things worth pointing out. First, the pewter doesn't look grayish as it does in the photos on the Amazon product page. Instead, in person, it looks brownish (picture brown leather shoes or a brown leather belt), but very dark brownish. Although not my very most preferred look, it looks very nice and leans towards conveying masculine. Second, it is not a lightweight phone. According to one website, it weighs 5.68 oz (161 g), whereas, for reference, the iPhone 6s and iPhone 5s weigh 5.04 oz (143 g) and 3.95 oz (112 g), respectively. Third, the battery life is amazing. It can sit for days (on airplane mode) without battery life dropping more than a couple percentage points or so. Initially, I hated the weight of the phone, but now I think the extra weight but might be a worthwhile tradeoff for the massive battery life.

I ordered this phone for my little sister as a gift for her birthday. She is becoming of age and felt it was time to be able to have a personal way to communicate with the family. Although she is surrounded by iPhones and Samsung devices, she is in love with this phone! The phone arrived in a nice small box. The box contains a charging block, micro USB, and even a pair of headphones with a mic! Even though the phone has a nice sturdy premium feel to it, it does have its ups and downs. Pros- The phone feels nice in the hands. Apparently, it weighs about 161 grams. It also has a 5in display with gorilla glass 3 that I think goes up to 720p resolution, Which is not bad considering this phone cost sub 100$. Another great thing is that this phone is receiving all of the latest software updates and security patches. It is going to be supported for at least 2 years so you cant go wrong with that. The phone has all necessary bands for the use in the USA and also contains all wifi bands. The last pro that I can remember is the HUGE battery it has at 4100 mAh. This thing can last you about 2 days. Cons- A big let down is the Snapdragon 212 they have this thing running on. If you are a speed user ( I have a Pixel and a Galaxy S7) then don't consider this phone as a daily driver. Instead, it is the type of phone you take with you on your travels or as a backup. But in my case, My sister is patient and understands that her first car isn't going to be a Ferrari. It is perfect for calls and texts, surfs things on google with ease and can handle a game or two but don't plan on having things running in the back too long since it only has 1gb of RAM. The camera on this phone is also just ok but also again for my situation it is perfect. She isn't going to be posting on social media or taking pics of the grand canyon. Instead, she'll use it to take pics of the cats and dogs etc. The storage is also pretty small at 8gb but can be expanded since it has an sd card slot. So to recap, This phone is great for 100$. Do get it if you're going to gift it to your grandma, mom, sister or anybody who has never had a smartphone before. Also if you need a backup or travel phone this phone is great for that too. Do not get this if you're used to the speed of the newer flagships as you'll find yourself getting upset over the small lag that seems to be an eternity. Anyway good luck!

Bueno por lo que cuesta

Tiene problemas de RAM, ya que se vuelve lento con un mediano uso de apps

El boton de Power dejo de funcionar al mes, el uso que le doy es llamadas, fotos y redes sociales....
