Nokia 2.1
The Nokia 2.1 was designed for basic functionality, offering excellent battery endurance despite its extremely low price. Its main feature was the combination of a large 4,000mAh battery and the lightweight Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition) software. It features a traditional 16:9 ratio 5.5-inch HD IPS LCD screen with stereo speakers (a rarity in this segment). The phone runs on the entry-level Snapdragon 425 processor and includes 1GB RAM, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and microSD expansion.

Key features.
Durable Polycarbonate Body
The main body uses durable polycarbonate with a matte, textured finish that resists fingerprints, maintaining a neat appearance over time.
Large 5.5-inch Screen with Bezels
The phone intentionally used a traditional 16:9 aspect ratio with large bezels to provide space for the front-facing stereo speakers, optimising the device for media consumption rather than minimising size.
Front-Facing Stereo Speakers
The phone features dual, front-facing stereo speakers located above and below the display. This placement provides a significantly louder and more direct sound experience than the single bottom-firing speaker common on most budget phones, making it excellent for watching videos or gaming.
Clean Android Go Experience
Running Android Go meant the operating system was lean, free of bloatware, and optimized to squeeze the most out of the limited 1GB RAM, ensuring consistent (though basic) performance.
2-Day Battery Life Claim
The combination of a large 4,000mAh battery and the lightweight Android Go software was heavily marketed to provide up to two days of battery life under moderate use.
Dedicated Storage Slot
Features a dedicated microSD card slot (up to 128GB) alongside two Nano-SIM slots, essential for overcoming the very limited 8GB internal storage.
