 Today, the Finnish company HMD Global launched a new low-cost smartphone Nokia 2.2 which becomes the cheapest phone in the company. The device received the support of AI technology, a dedicated button to call the voice assistant and a screen with a teardrop-shaped cutout. In addition, this is the first model of the 2nd series, included in the Android One program, which guarantees a stable system and security updates. In this article, we will inform you about all its technical specifications, prices, and date of release to the market.

The phone offers a 5.7-inch 720x1520px LCD display with a maximum brightness of 400 nits. It’s a 19:9 ratio panel with an ‘Infinity U’ styled notch with a fairly small bezel all around. The chin is a bit huge, though not a deal breaker for a budget phone.

The phone employs the Helio A22 SoC, a Quad Core CPU clocked at 2GHz. There are two versions of the phone, one with 2GB RAM/16GB storage and the other with 3GB RAM/32GB storage. The phone does support a microSD card for storage expansion.
It gets a 13MP sensor at the back and a 5MP at the front. With support for AutoHDR and something called “low-light image fusion” technology to basically help fill dimly lit scenarios.

A 3000mAh battery powers the phone. Charging happens through a Micro USB port, also responsible for data transfers. And while the phone doesn’t come with a fingerprint sensor, it does get an AI-enabled face-unlock feature.

Finally, the phone comes with Android Pie out of the box. And like most of the recent Nokia phone, the Nokia 2.2 is also a product of the Android One program. That means this device will have an unadulterated stock version of Android. The UI here will be free from any type of bloatware. On top of that, the device is promised with the upcoming Android Q update. Apart from that, the phone rocks with a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left.
