Nokia launch there new Dual-Sim phone C2-03

Nokia launches there new phone Nokia C2-03 with Dual-Sim and Touch and Type feature.

The handset is pocket friendly and weighs 118kg. It is cited to offer standby time of up to 400 hours with a talk time of almost 5 hours, while music playback can carry on for 35 hours. Additionally, the device comes in with Nokia Maps and a newly released Nokia browser for Series 40. The latter strives to provide an enhanced web experience.

Mary McDowell, the head of Nokia’s Mobile Phones business unit, explained, “The Nokia C2-03 makes managing multiple SIMs simpler, without compromising on any other features. Why should consumers have to choose between touch and keypad, or forego a great web, map, entertainment or email experience? With the Nokia C2-03 we have made it all available on one affordable device.”

“The upper and lower parts of the phone create harmony with each other due to their smooth, rounded edges. We’ve kept the design as simple and as clean as possible while still producing an elegant look,” shared Liu Hang, Industrial Designer at Nokia.

The phone is embedded with 10MB in memory, which is touted to be expandable up to 32GB. The 2MP camera may give room for some photography fun too. The handset uses the touch and type feature and seems to mark the return of the slide phone with a bang.

The Nokia C2-03 can be picked up around Q3 in India, China, SEAP, Eurasia and MEA for a price of €77.
