HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, announces the Nokia C10 and Nokia C20, the newest C-series smartphones.
With its superior build quality in a sleek Nordic design, the Nokia C10 arrives to the portfolio as a result of rigorous testing and close attention to detail – even the casing has been ergonomically designed for a better grip.
Nokia C10
With all-day battery life[1] and stunningly clear 6.5″ HD+ screen, spending a quiet moment alone or with your family has just become more enjoyable. Immerse yourself in your favourite tunes while travelling to work or settle in to watch a film with the kids. The Nokia C10 champions me-time and family time at a price point you’ll love. The Nokia C10 sports a front and rear LED flash paired with the HDR cameras. Now you can capture and share your special moments in all their glory, even in low light, be it a dusk-time selfie or a candid shot of the rug rats before bed to share on the family group chat.
Equipped with Android 11 (Go edition) straight out of the box, this smartphone comes with the latest software innovations. Based on HMD lab tests loading speeds are up to 20% faster than before, and with access to improved security features, your data will be safer. Android™ 11 (Go edition) offers more memory and consumes less data. With recent surveys showing an increasing decline in trust in some parts of the world, our customers can feel secure knowing their data is stored in our homeland, Finland, where data protection is subject to high EU standards.
The Nokia C10 showcases its Nordic heritage in tandem with Nokia smartphones’ trademark durability, and the superior build quality stems from rigorous testing and attention to the most minute details. The ergonomically designed casing with a micro-texture finish makes it easy to hold even for the smallest of hands.
The Nokia C10 is a leader in the following vs competition:
- Most affordable smartphone to offer 6.5″ HD+ display
- Leading in security for ultra-high value handsets with two years of quarterly security updates
Android™ 11 (Go edition) from the moment it’s turned on, a rarity among ultra-high value smartphones
- High dynamic range (HDR) and front and rear LED flash takes photography to the next level
Patrick Henchie, Head of Product and Operations for HMD Global in SSA:
“Following the popularity of our ultra-high value C-series, we are expanding the range to continue our mission to provide accessible connectivity to everyone. You get that peace of mind with the rigid and sleek Nokia phone build quality and all-day battery life, complimented by that premium feel with a removable unibody back cover with micro-texture finishing.”
Nokia C20
Representing one of three distinct smartphone series to be introduced (X-Series, G-Series and C-Series), the Nokia C20 makes smartphone technology more accessible. It also gives consumers peace of mind thanks to its ultra-high value price point and two years of free security updates as standard.
When it comes to precious moments with loved ones, blink, and you’ll miss them. But with a 5MP front and rear camera, you don’t have to worry about missing one again – even in low light. A front and rear LED flash means that you can capture those important moments from dawn till dusk, making your pics and selfies shine bright.
Combining a 3000mAh[2] battery with a big, 6.5″ HD+ screen means you can entertain the whole family all day, without battery anxiety – just plug into a podcast, pop on a classic film or listen to your favourite tunes.
Spend more time speaking to those you love. With fast 4G, you can keep in touch with family on facetime, even on the move. With its Octa-core processor and the latest operating system, you can rely on C20 to get things done swiftly.
A dependable phone needs an operating system you can rely on every day. Android 11 (Go edition) makes it faster and easier for you to open apps and store, find and share photos and videos. With quarterly security updates for two years and added security features, you can also rest assured that everything on your phone is being kept safe.
As you would expect from Nordic design, the C20 doesn’t just look sleek, it’s also built from quality materials, so it will stand the test of time. The strong, polycarbonate body – in Sand and Dark Blue colour options – make for an attractive offering you won’t want to let go.
Patrick Henchie, Head of Product and Operations for HMD Global in SSA:
“The Nokia C20 is a seriously exciting addition to the Nokia C-series. It was important to us that we created an incredible value smartphone that looks great and that families could depend on. We’ve equipped the Nokia C20 with some fantastic features, and our rigorous testing program means this handset will stand the test of time and the test of family life.”
