Nokia C32 goes official with 50MP camera and a glass back design

Alongside Nokia C22, the company has also announced another budget phone, the Nokia C32. Both of them look quite similar from the outside but have pretty different spec sheets. In fact, Nokia C32 is the first phone in its lineup to come with a 50MP camera. Let's learn more about the Nokia C32 including all its features, specifications, expected price in Nepal, availability, and more.

Nokia C32 Overview:

Design and Display

Unlike the C22, it comes with a glass back that gives off quite a premium look and feel. Pair that with the metallic-finish frame, Nokia C32 is on the heavier side at 200 grams. Besides this, it is also IP52 dust/splash resistant. The phone features the same 6.5" HD+ IPS LCD screen that you'd find on the C22. Along with the teardrop notch, bezels, and everything else. However, Nokia has moved the fingerprint reader from the back of the phone to the side rails here.

Performance

Nokia and its obsession with Unisoc chipsets; the C32 brings the same Unisoc SC9863A chip as C22. This 28nm-based SoC's octa-core CPU is entirely populated by Cortex-A55 cores while the IMG8322 GPU handles the graphics side of things. Available in up to 4GB RAM and up to 128GB eMMC 5.1 storage, the Nokia C32 runs on regular Android 13—instead of a lighter Go Edition. And Nokia has also committed to 2 years of monthly security updates for this guy.
