HMD Global announces the affordable Nokia 2

By Kamran Zia -

HMD Global has announced its most affordable Nokia device as yet, the Nokia 2. The much-rumored Nokia 2 was launched in India at a global launch event in Gurgaon, a suburb of New Delhi, today.

The Nokia 2 runs pure Android 7.1 Nougat out of the box and comes with HMD Global’s promise of monthly security updates as well as an upgrade to Android 8.0 Oreo.

The Nokia 2 brings together crafted aluminum with sculpted polycarbonate at the back. The highlight of the smartphone is its 2-day battery life, as the company claims. It also packs in IP52 drip protection.

Nokia 2 Specifications

  • Operating System: Android 7.1.1 Nougat
  • Display: 5-inch HD (720 x 1280) LTPS LCD | Corning Gorilla Glass 3
  • Processor: 1.3 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 212
  • RAM: 1 GB LPPDDR 3
  • Internal Storage: 8 GB; expandable up to 128 GB with microSD card
  • Rear Camera: 8 MP autofocus with LED flash
  • Front Camera: 5 MP fixed-focus
  • Battery: 4,100 mAh
  • Dimensions: 143.5 x 71.3 x 9.30 mm

Priced at €99 ($115), the Nokia 2 is available in three color combinations – Pewter/Black, Pewter/White, and Copper/Black – and will go on sale starting mid-November. The company has not shared country-specific availability details (those will be shared closer to the sales) but has specified that both single-SIM and dual-SIM variants will be available according to the market.

The Nokia 2 packs in modest specifications, but like other Nokia devices, the pitch is about the pure Android experience rather playing on the specifications sheet. Is that a right call? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.

Slate A woman’s trip to the Wildlife World Zoo, Aquarium, and Safari Park in Arizona was cut short when she was clawed by a captive jaguar (via CBS News ). The woman had climbed over a concrete barrier to get closer to the animal to snap a selfie with her smartphone. The woman was admitted to the hospital with her arm in “pretty bad shape,” according to medical responders. However, she was released shortly after with a series of stitches. According to witnesses on the scene — one of which captured a video of the woman writhing in pain after the jaguar clawed at her arm — the incident began when the unidentified woman climbed over a federally-regulated concrete wall that helps to keep a safe distance between the animal cage and the spectators. Once over the wall, the woman turned her back to the cage to snap the selfie. At some point shortly thereafter, the jaguar reached its two front paws outside the cage and grabbed the woman’s arm. The woman then tried to wrench it out of the
