Still one of the capable entry-level smartphones this early 2021, we managed to have a Nokia 2.4 which is now at a much intresting SRP than before.
Here are what to expect when you see the phone and unpack it for the first time.
Here is the Nokia 2.4 in all sides
On UI even with that weak processor for early 2021, HMD Global managed to keep the phone to be usable as possible to it's stock-ish Android 10 .
On connectivity, Nokia 2.4 managed to pass with flying colors despite that we only have Mediatek Helio P22 processor in WiFi, calls, texts, Bluetooth, GPS and mobile data
On battery with it's 4500 mAh battery and 6.5 inch HD+ display, Nokia 2.4 survived in 38 hours and 10 minutes in our video battery rundown test. Charging it from 0 to 100% took us around 150 minutes in average. On usage, it was an easy 2 day smartphone for us in medium heavy usage
On cameras, the handset has dual rear cameras which we sticked mostly on it's primary sensor (as the 2 MP depth sensor is not working that much) . The primary cam worked best as long as you have enough lighting in indoor and outdoor situations. As expected for a budget phone, it will not survive on night shots. Same scenario on it's 5 MP f/2.4 selfie camera. It was our first time that we saw a Nokia phone which you can put loads of watermarks (not just only texts from other brands) that we had fun to shoot on this one. There are HDR and HDR Auto modes which we prefer on the latter as it made some justice properly versus a normal camera sample

On extras, the fingerprint sensor is one of the fastest and most accurate ones that we experienced if to compare with other phones within or a bit beyond it's price tag. Surprisingly, it was also one of the best-sounding phones via an 3.5 mm audio jack
Prior to this review, Nokia 2.4 managed to make the price lower from Php 6990 down to Php 5990. For big battery, decent, reliable on connectivity, shooting videos and phots at night is not an issue, stockish Android 10 feels and sure a-ok cameras on a budget and you want to stick more on a reputable brand, Nokia 2.4 is for you. For us, it is 4.25 out of 5 for Nokia 2.4
