We have a good selection of entry-level smartphones in the Indian market right now, all priced at around Rs. 10,000, and the recently announced Nokia 2.4 could be another contender. Launched in India in November 2019 for Rs. 10,399, the Nokia 2.4 offers users a big battery and display, and the promise of guaranteed Android software upgrades for two years. However, does it have enough merit to make it to our list of recommended phones in this segment? Let's find out.
HMD Global seldom disappoints when it comes to the design of its phones, and despite the Nokia 2.4 being an entry-level model, it looks quite premium. The Nokia 2.4 has a dedicated Google Assistant button too. The Nokia 2.4 has a large 6.5-inch HD+ display with decent colour saturation. However, the front glass is very reflective, and the screen doesn't get very bright. HMD Global has used the slightly dated MediaTek Helio P22 octa-core SoC for the Nokia 2.4, due to which, the OS feels a bit laggy pretty much all the time.
While the display produces decent colours when watching videos or any type of content, the viewing angles are very weak. The Nokia 2.4 does offer good battery life. I easily managed to use it for a day and half on one charge, which is pretty good.
Image quality is strictly average even when shooting in daylight.The cameras didn't fare well in low light, producing shots with weak details and chroma noise in dark regions.
The Nokia 2.4 feels like it should have been positioned a few steps below its current asking price. Good design, decent battery life, and lean software aside, there's very little that's actually appealing.
