Display
Display Size: 6.5-inches
Display Type: IPS LCD
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1600 pixels
Screen Resolution Density: 269 ppi
The Nokia C20 sports a 6.5-inch IPS LCD with 720 x 1600 pixels resolution. It also comes with a 269 ppi screen resolution density.
Nothing particularly special about the display profile except the fact that it is pretty large and is actually one of the main reasons Nokia wants you to buy the phone.
Design
Dimensions: 169.9 x 77.9 x 8.8 mm
Nokia designed the C20 with its durability in mind and they giving credit where credit is due, they did a good job.
The C20 has the same Nordic design found on the C10, which means it isn’t just sleek but it’s built from quality materials that are made to last.
Performance
Operating System: Android 11 (Go Edition)
CPU: 1.6Ghz Octa-core (Unisoc SC9863A)
RAM: 2GB
Internal Memory: 32GB
Micro SD: Yes
A 1.6Ghz Octa-core powers the C20 coupled up with either 1GB/2GB RAM. This is just enough to run the casual and standard day-to-day tasks.
For the C20, Nokia decided to use the Unisoc SC9863A (28nm) which is an upgrade to the C10 and is one of the slight differences between the two devices.
In terms of storage, you get either a 16GB/32GB internal memory with the option of a Micro SD card slot to expand storage.
The C20 runs Android 11 (Go Edition) out of the box and Nokia assures two years of quarterly security updates.
Camera
Rear Camera: 5MP
Front Camera: 5MP
LED Flash: Yes
Considering the C20 is a budget smartphone, the camera profile is pretty average. It’s the same as the C10’s.
Both the front and back pack 5MP cameras and LED flash. It’s uncertain why Nokia decided to give the C10 and C20 basic camera profiles, but it may be because they wanted to save on cost.
That, and wanting to spend more money on their better models like the Nokia X10 and X20.
Battery
Battery Capacity: Li-Po 3000 mAh battery
The C20 is equipped with a Li-Po 3000 mAh battery. The phone may not last the whole day depending on your usage so it’s safer to plug it in before you sleep.
