HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, on Thursday, announced the launch of its new budget smartphone -- 'C22', with improved drop protection, in India.

Priced at Rs 7,999, the phone comes available in Charcoal, Sand and Purple colours in 4GB (2GB + 2GB Virtual RAM) and 6GB (4GB + 2GB Virtual RAM) clubbed with 64GB storage configuration, which is available for purchase from May 11.

"The Nokia C-series has always been about providing reliable, affordable smartphones that offer a great user experience and Nokia C22 is no exception delivering better durability against drops, resulting in a robust device that you can trust to last and keep for longer," Adam Ferguson, Head of Product Marketing, HMD Global, said in a statement.

Nokia C22 has a three-day battery life, dual 13MP rear and 8MP selfie cameras backed by advanced imaging algorithms, an Octa-core processor and an Android 13 (Go edition) operating system straight out of the box.

The smartphone features a big 6.5-inch HD+ display and is powered by a 5000 mAh battery supported by the Battery Saver feature. For splash and dust protection, the phone is rated IP52 to keep the phone safe from scuffs and scrapes.

Built to take on the day

Stunning shots start with the camera, but that’s not the whole story. Bespoke imaging algorithms bring powerful Night and Portrait modes to both the dual 13 MP rear camera and the 8 MP selfie camera. The results? Crisp low-light shots and beautiful portraits, day or night, front or back. Plus, they’ll look great on the 6.5” HD+ display.

Capture all-day

Nokia C22 boasts some modern aesthetics, but there’s more to its design than meets the eye. Between its tough polycarbonate back and toughened 2.5D glass front lies a rigid inner metal chassis. Combined, they offer better durability against drops and an IP52 protection rating against dust and spills.

Multitasking, but 

smoother

With an octa-core chipset and memory extension4 that turns 2 GB of storage space into device memory, you’ll be able to open and switch between more applications. If you want to take your multitasking even further, the app cache-clearing options have you covered.

Software that gives you more

Nokia C22 comes with everything you need and nothing you don’t. The streamlined Android 13 (Go edition) OS with less bloatware means more storage space for your apps and files and helps your mobile data plan go further.
