The return to school is looming for students (and parents) and for some kids, that means a new phone to keep in contact. HMD Global has today announced the Nokia 2.3 will be hitting Australian shores offering great hardware at a great price, just in time for the new school year.
The Nokia 2.3 will sell for $199 when it hits our shores and for that price you get a 6.2-inch HD (1520×720) resolution display, quad-core Mediatek A22 processor with 2GB RAM and 32GB of on-board storage (expandable with microSD card).
The phone includes a 13MP + 2MP dual sensor rear camera array which uses ‘AI powered image fusion to capture the perfect shot event in low light’. There’s also a 5MP selfie camera on the front in the tear-drop notch in the screen.
