Friends+Design
- Looks smart with a nice, refined polycarbonate shell, and also feels quite nice in your hands
- Nokia also offers swappable Xpress-on covers (at an extra cost) to add some colour to the phone
- Has a handy, dedicated Google Assistant button
- While it looks smart, it lacks the oomph and the style of the Realme C2, one of its primary competitors
- No fingerprint scanner
- Slow face unlock
Software
- Android One guarantees latest software updates, and a pure-play Android experience
Performance
- Average performance from a low-end Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 processor - there is a significant lag while loading apps or even firing up the camera - competing devices like the Xiaomi Redmi 7 have a clear edge on this front
Camera
- Decent 13MP rear cam, and 5MP selfie cam in good lighting conditions - you will get reasonably good results (for the price bracket) in daylight conditions
- Lowlight results are average though, from both cameras
- While the overall camera performance is ok for the price, it is again left behind by the (significantly better) dual camera setups on the Realme C2 and the Redmi 7
Battery
- Good battery life with a 3000 mAh battery, that will comfortably last you the day
Verdict
- If you are not concerned with speed and are seeking an unadulterated Android experience on a tight budget, then the Nokia 2.2 might work for you, but for most users, they will be better off looking at the Redmi 7A or Realme C2 instead
