Nokia 2.2 is here. HMD Global, the Nokia mobile brand licensee, on Thursday announced the new Nokia 2.2 smartphone at a press event in New Delhi. Part of the company's budget lineup, the Nokia 2.2 is an Android One smartphone, unlike its predecessor Nokia 2.1, which was based on Android Go platform. It runs on Android 9 Pie and the company claims it will be the “fastest ticket to Android Q in this price tier” for the consumers. The phone also packs the Digital Wellbeing features, including the Dashboard, App Timers, Wind Down, and the improved Do Not Disturb.
Like most of HMD Global's other Nokia phones released this year, Nokia 2.2 features a dedicated Google Assistant button. The button supports Google Assistant walkie-talkie feature, which is activated when the button is long pressed. The Nokia 2.2 also brings AI-powered imaging experience, which will be available on both front and rear cameras, to help the consumers take great photographs. Among the AI camera tweaks is the company's low-light fusion technology to help in poor lighting situations.
Among other features, Nokia 2.2 comes with Google Lens support and Face Unlock feature, which is said to include “liveliness detection” for added security. The phone is made out of coloured polycarbonate with glossy nano-coating and will be competing with the likes of Realme C2, Realme C1, Infinix Smart Plus 3, and Asus ZenFone Max M1 in the country.
According to HMD Global, the Nokia 2.2 price in India will start at Rs. 7,699 for the 2GB + 16GB version. The 3GB + 32GB variant of the phone will retail at Rs. 8,699.
