Micro-usb and has no fingerprint sensor is a major yikes. You would think the phone would come with a slightly better chipset with the money they saved.

You should check out the Alcatel 3X 2019 smartphone. It's about $20 to $30 more, but it has twice the Ram, twice the Rom, a fingerprint sensor and NFC. Or you could check out the Nokia 4.2 with more Ram, a fingerprint sensor, Android One, NFC and only $20 more at Bestbuy at their highest price.
The Alcatel is a complete fail due to its slow and bloatware filled OS and the Nokia 4.2 has a smaller screen. People on a tight budget, like me, just want a basic phone with a big screen, a clean OS system, a decent chipset, decent cameras, and a good battery.
Don't really care of face sensor or fingerprint scanner. 2gb of RAM is a letdown but 32gb of storage and expansion and 4000 mAh battery and 2 years of Android updates does give it some advantage. I might get this phone, but Motorola is still my phone to go to
I love Nokia smartphones and I'm using the Nokia 8.1 but I think Nokia can't compete the other Chinese smartphones brands in term of "budget" smartphone except the Android one support otherwise nothing interesting in Nokia budget smartphones
Just looking at the specs on this phone for the price, I wouldn’t give it the time of day. As you rightly said in other videos, a used flagship is a much better investment. My LG V30+ runs rings around this for half the price. I know you need content for your site, but who is honestly paying for these specs in 2020 when a service provider will give you something better for FREE!
Because it comes with Stock Android and has a guaranteed promise of 2 years of OS updates and 3 years of Security Updates. Not to mention the old flagships probably run Android 7.0 or 8.0 while the Nokia has a solid chance of getting Android 10 and 11
@@typhoon_8086 It doesn't matter if it has Android 10 if it's slow as shit, has a shit camera, etc. I'd take an older flagship over this garbage any day.
Nice video. I have a Nokia 3.1 right now through AT&T Prepaid and it's decent for the price. Notice couple glitches from time to time such as the bottom bar with buttons changing color and a glitch on the home screen on the bottom right when I click on a folder to access some apps. Was checking out the Nokia 6.2 which looks great for the price too. Just not sure with the glitches, but they don't really hinder the phone. The updates are great 😁
Nokia 2.3 looks like Redmi A8 from the back . Hope in the future comparison on budget phones Nokia 2.3 vs Xiaomi Redmi A8 amazing you tube tech channel👊
Little sluggish at first but once I started using it more it worked smoothly I also love the Google pixel layout on the home screen also scheduled to get android 11 in early 2021
I had the Nokia 6 when it hit the USA 3 years ago and then the 6.1. Both were good phones. Always had Nokia as feature phones and then smart phones running windows. Unfortunately these newer models have glass backs and don't compete well with the Pixel 3a series. The cameras are also not the cameras of the old Nokia Lumias. The pixel 3a's are the new Nokia Lumias of Android in my opinion.
@@patcola7335 Im in the UK , the Nokia 2.3 is like £80 on Amazon UK and the Nokia one which is a very good cheap phone is only like £25 on Ebay , the camera sucks on it but rest of device is quality for such a low price
Video is definitely good.but this phone is not very good for this price point at all.you can buy Moto g7s for around 160 on Amazon.about 30s more and you get a significantly better phone.
Well some of us don't like buying phones on Amazon. I personally would buy my phone from either a brick and mortar store or my carrier. Also, how do you know if the Moto G7 was ever refurbished? That would explain the cheap pricing.
@@jameshardy753 ok I see your point, but try explaining that to my Mom. She suggested that I look at the phone I want to purchase at a brick & mortar store just to be sure I want the phone.
@@typhoon_8086 right and I get that man but sadly at this point in time and from now on I don't see alot of your more smaller brands being sold a ton out of store's.just because of the warehousing and costs of storage for them when not as many people buy a cheaper phone people want to buy the current flagship's.
I might get this when I need to replace my Nokia 3.1 (music player device)- this 2.3 is similar to the Galaxy A10s !

Basically the same device as the Huawei y6 2019 , the Honor 8s etc etc only bonus is the dual camera setup while the others have single cameras, i like how all these manufaturers are now using the teardrop notch instead of that hideous iPhone type notch from 2018 , hopefully next year all phones will have no notches in the displays.
I dunno, I'd say 2gb of ram is what I'd expect for the price point. I mean there's been midrangers that only came with 3gb of ram. Not defending it 😂 but technically speaking. But a phone with no fingerprint sensor is pretty bad in 2020.
@epic gamer Anybody can go without,but there's zero reason to if you don't have to. If you can get free phones at most places with one,why would you pay 130 for one without it?
@epic gamer It actually isn't,it's about principle. One has everything and one doesn't for no reason. If someone sells you a sandwich with a bite taken out,you don't just pay for it because the priority is survival. You ask for a whole sandwich because you're not a doormat. If you didn't take many pictures would you still pay full price for a phone with no camera? Lol
What on Earth are you taking about lady? This phone might not be the best Eye candy but at least it won't shatter and crack when you drop it. Not to mention that plastic is easier to grip.
Got the phone recently and I love it 😍😍

According to the specifications it uses a 2D face unlock system and not 3D. So the red flashing you're seeing is actually just the proximity sensor.

Exactly. Even the previous one, Nokia 2.2, has 3gb ram. Why Nokia decided to place a 2gb ram in 2.3 is weird...
