As far as smartphones go, Nokia has a history of providing some of the most affordable options in the world. C21 and C31 are two of those options. The C21 had already landed in October and as expected, the entry-tier daily driver, C31 got launched in Pakistan today. Nokia C21 retail price in Pakistan is 19,500 while the C31 also bears an affordable tag.


Although it's not supreme in value-for-money, Nokia C31's cost is passable, especially in comparison with the competing brands. We'll talk about pricing details in a minute. Let's dive into its screen specs and core stats.

C31's adorned with a U-shaped notch and a 6.75-inch screen, making it stand out among many. A standard panel covers the visor. Its display has an IPS resolution of 1600 x 720, and the phone limits its refresh rate to 60Hz, which is typical for phones at this price point. Symmetrical thick bars wrap the screen with ~83.4% screen-to-body ratio.


In the new Nokia C31, the fingerprint reader resides in a circular cutout on the back. On the rear, three cameras live inside the slightly raised platform, a 13MP primary shooting sensor, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor. For selfies, Nokia's new phone has a 5MP unit up front. Its skin knocks away finger smudges.


Nokia C31 sports a UNISOC SC9863A1 processor, PowerVR GE8322 GPU, and expandable storage of up to 512GB. In general, there are two memory configurations with this device; 4+64GB and 4+128GB. The variant launched in Pakistan limits the capacity to 4+64GB. It boots up to Android 12 Stock OS.

In addition to a rear-mounted biometric, the phone can store facial maps for convenient unlocking. Its intelligent algorithm lets users unlock the phone even with face accessories such as masks and glasses. Under its shell lies a 5050mAh battery hooked with a 10W charging kit. The phone's official retail starts at only 28,000 PKR.
