The device comes with a few new camera features like ‘recommended shot’ that lets you pick the best picture. They have also introduced portrait mode and low light imaging to this device.
It is the first device in the Nokia 2 series to have a dual camera set up and they believe the 2-day battery life will make this your daily driver. The design is sleek and simple. They have eliminated the fingerprint scanner and it is now relying on face ID for security. They do promise that it is secure and will not be unlocked even when you sleep.
The 2.3 guarantees monthly security updates for 3 years and OS updates for 2 years to ensure the smartphone will get better over time. With Android 10, this means that you get to enjoy dark mode.
