HMD Global has announced yet another Android Go smartphone, the Nokia C12 Pro. This handset follows the Nokia C12 which arrived back in January, and the Nokia C02 which launched in February. It’s as if Nokia has a new Android Go device for each month of the year.
The Nokia C12 Pro is official as a new Android Go smartphone
Considering this is an Android Go device, it has entry-level specs. Before we get down to that, let’s talk about its design first, shall we? The Nokia C12 Pro has a single camera on the back, inside a small camera island that sits in the top-left corner.
In the bottom-left corner, you’ll notice a rear-facing speaker. That is the only speaker on the phone. Nokia’s logo is also included on the back, and it’s vertically oriented.
On the front, you’ll spot a waterdrop display notch, a flat display, and rather thin bezels… well, all of them except the bottom one. This phone has a “chin” like many other entry-level devices.
Now, when it comes to specs, the device is fueled by the Unisoc 9863A1 SoC. It includes 2GB or 3GB of RAM, both of which arrive with 64GB of internal storage. Android 12 Go Edition comes pre-installed on the phone. HMD Global promises two years of quarterly security updates.
It has a larger battery pack than its non-Pro sibling
A single 8-megapixel camera can be found on the back, while a 5-megapixel unit sits on the front. A 4,000mAh battery is included in the package, but fast charging is not.
If this phone seems familiar, there’s a good reason for that. It looks basically the same as the Nokia C12. So, what’s the difference? Well, this device includes a larger battery. The Nokia C12 has a 3,000mAh battery. Both battery packs are removable, though.
The Nokia C12 Pro comes in Charcoal, Dark Cyan, and Light Mint colors, all of which are shown below. The phone launched in India only, for now. We’ll see if HMD Global plans to push it to other markets.
