Nokia C10 Unboxing, Review

Currently,. the most affordable from them this 2021, HMD Global and Nokia Philippines gave us an opportunity to check out Nokia C10 for review.

You can check our unboxing and first impressions thru this video below:

It was our first time to test run a phone with Android 11 Go Edition with Unisoc SC7331E processor. We knew that it is an entry-level phone but it is still as serviceable as to Nokia C1 that we checked recently. As expected, you will gonna get those "go" based apps but for some reason, they did not put in Youtube Go on this one. You cannot do multitasking that much with the limited processing power of this handset

Out of 16 GB storage, you will gonna get more than 10 GB of remaining storage for apps and more.

On connectivity, the major downer for us that with the rise of 5G here in the country, Nokia C10 still brought in a device only in 3G so we locked on our Fiber-based WiFi for some internet stuff which is a-ok with 2.4 GHz band. Good thing that we got good on calls, text, Bluetooth and GPS.

On battery with 3000 mAh battery and 6.52 inch HD+ display, the phone survived at 14 hours and 20 minutes in our video battery rundown test. Using it as our main driver at home, it was a good 24 hour phone with 5 hours screen on time on WiFi plus our Bluetooth headset on. Charging it with it's 5 watt plug can go this device from ) to 100% in almost 3 hours.

On camera, both rear and front cameras offer 5 MP at f/2.2 . Good thing that we are not seeing 5 MP f/2.8 shooters from way back years ago. You can only prioduce good photos as long as we are on a daylight environment and in HDR. Happy that Nokia still managed that the image processing time is quick enough. Shooting videos at HD, you can really tell based on the overall quality that it is from an entry-level phone which is good enough for social media.
