HMD Global, the company making Nokia-branded smartphones, has already announced a list of smartphones getting the Android 12 operating system update with the timeline. Now, the Nokia 2.4 is receiving a new update.

As per the latest reports, the Nokia 2.4 budget smartphone, one of the brand’s cheapest devices, has started getting the Android 12 update.

While HMD Global has not officially announced the rollout of this update, reports are confirming that the update is indeed being released. It is currently available for smartphones in France and Pakistan.

The update is about 1.75GB in size and comes with the April 2022 security patch, which is good given that it’s currently mid-May when the update is being released. Although it’s limited to a few regions right now, we expect it to be available to other regions soon.

The Nokia 2.4 features a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch that houses a 5-megapixel selfie camera. It is powered by the Helio P22 processor and is available in 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM variants with 32GB and 64GB of expandable storage respectively.

There are two cameras on the back of the phone – a 13MP main camera and a 2MP depth camera. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, FM radio, and a 4500mAh battery that charges via a microUSB port.

Android 11 brings new features such as conversation bubbles; app permissions that allow you to grant one-time access to apps; a native screen-recorder; scheduled dark theme; notification history, and more.

According to the Android 11 roadmap released by the manufacturer, the update was originally planned to be released in the first quarter of the year but that didn’t happen.

The Nokia 2.4 has a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a waterdrop notch that is home to a 5MP selfie camera. It is powered by the Helio P22 processor and is available in 2GB RAM and 3GB RAM variants with 32GB and 64GB of expandable storage respectively.

There are two cameras on the back of the phone – a 13MP main camera and a 2MP depth camera. It also has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, FM radio, and a 4500mAh battery that charges via a MicroUSB port.

HMD Global announced the Nokia 2.4 in September 2020. While a successor should not come until much later, recent announcements have shown that there is no clear cut pattern to HMD Global’s release schedule. This explains why a new device spotted on the Bluetooth SIG database is believed to be a successor to the Noia 2.4.

The device was first spotted on the Bluetooth SIG website by NokiaPowerUser with the model number T99652AA1 which is similar to the Nokia 2.4’s T99651AA1 model number. While there is no specific mention that this is the Nokia 2.4’s successor, the similarity in their model numbers points to the two devices being related.

The Bluetooth certificate shows the device has support for Bluetooth 5.0 and support for LTE. Since this doesn’t have 5G support, it is most definitely a budget device.

The Nokia 2.4 launched with a 6.5-inch display with a waterdrop notch and a 1600 x 720 resolution. It has a MediaTek Helio P22 processor inside that comes with 2GB or 3GB of RAM. Depending on the RAM variant, you get 32GB or 64GB of storage. There is a dedicated MicroSD card slot so that you can add more storage without sacrificing the SIM slot.

A 13MP + 2MP dual camera combo sits on the back of the phone while a 5MP camera is in front for selfies. The Nokia 2.4 also has a fingerprint scanner on the back, a 4500mAh battery, and runs Android 10. It is one of the Nokia devices scheduled to get updated to Android 11 this quarter. However, we hope its successor runs Android 11 out of the box.

The new Nokia phone is expected to launch in the coming months.

HMD Global first unveiled the Nokia 3.4 alongside the Nokia 2.4 in India a few months back, precisely in September. The tech giant was expected to unveil the two smartphones in India on November 26 but only the Nokia 2.4 went official.

A report by Nokiapoweruser, quoting retail sources, claims that the Nokia 3.4 will arrive in India in mid-December. The report also reveals that the 3.4 will feature a base variant having 3GB of RAM and it will adopt a decent retail price of around INR12,000 (~$160). This variant will go on sale by December end.

To recall, the Nokia 3.4 is the first in the series to have a punch-hole display. The hole-punch is located at the top left corner of the display. The device features a 6.39-inch HD+ panel with an 8MP camera housed in the punch-hole located in the top left corner.

The phone is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor paired with 3GB of RAM. There is 64GB of internal storage that can be expanded via a microSD card slot. The phone also comes in a 4GB RAM variant as well as 32GB and 128GB storage options. At the rear aspect, there is a triple camera setup arranged in a cookie-shaped housing. The setup includes a 13MP primary sensor, a 5MP ultrawide angle camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. There is a fingerprint scanner under the cameras just like on the Nokia 2.4 and it also has a dedicated Google Assistant button.

The Nokia 3.4 packs a 4000mAh battery under the hood which should last up to 2 days according to the manufacturer. Thankfully, it charges via a USB-C port up to 10W. It also has an audio jack, an FM radio, and NFC.

Nokia 2.4 has finally been launched in India. The device arrives as an entry level budget handset that runs the latest stock Android 10 OS and is the latest launch from the HMD Global owned brand.

The device sports a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC and is powered by a large 4,500mAh battery pack with a standard 5W charging support. For memory, it houses 3GB of RAM along with either 32GB or 64GB of internal storage, which can be further expanded via a microSD card slot.

Since the device runs Android One, it runs on the stock Android 10 OS and will likely soon receive the Android 11 update as well. On the rear, Nokia 2.4 is equipped with a dual camera setup, with a 13 megapixel primary sensor and a 2 megapixel depth lens for portrait shots. The selfie shooter is a 5 megapixel camera and the device sports the usual connectivity features like 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS/GLONASS, and micro USB port for charging. 

The rear also sports a fingerprint sensor for security and even has a dedicated Google Assistant button with IPX2 Ingress resistance. It measures 165.85 x 76.30 x 8.69mm and weighs 189 grams. Arriving at the price and availability, the Nokia 2.4 will launch in India for 10,399 INR (roughly 140 US Dollars). and will be available in multiple color variants including, Dusk, Fjord, and Charcoal. It is currently available for pre booking across India, although, no official date for sale has been announced at the moment. So stay tuned for more updates.

A few days out, news broke out that HMD Global will be launching Nokia 2.4 at the end of November in India. Now, the company itself officially teases to launch this smartphone along with Nokia 3.4 on November 26.

The countdown has begun. Only 10 days to go for the big reveal. Stay tuned.#OnlyGadgetYouNeed pic.twitter.com/4itc8Xu84z

— Nokia Mobile India (@NokiamobileIN) November 16, 2020

Earlier today, the official Twitter account of Nokia Mobile India tweeted a launch teaser video for Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4 with a caption ‘only 10 days to go’. The tweet clearly suggests the brand’s latest budget smartphones will be officially announced in the country on November 26. 

Also, this goes in line with the report from last week. However, the report only mentioned the arrival of Nokia 2.4 to India and not Nokia 3.4. So that means that the former should go on sale soon after the announcement, whereas the latter could be made available later.

Having said that, it is weird for HMD Global to launch smartphones targeted at India’s hottest price segment after the Diwali festive season, the period in which the most sales occur. All the major brands had already released their devices a month earlier to capture the market.

If HMD Global really wants to break into the Indian phone market, they should first work on their launch cycle and supply chain. Even after nearly one month from the announcement of Nokia 215 4G and Nokia 225 4G, the latter is only available in Black color and the former is yet to go on sale.

HMD Global unveiled Nokia 2.4 alongside Nokia 3.4 in late September for the European market. Now, more than a month later, the former device is tipped to launch in India at the end of November.

The Nokia 2.4 is a budget smartphone from the house of HMD Global. It is the successor to last year’s Nokia 2.3. The device made its global debut in Europe and now, according to the sources of MySmartPrice, this handset will be released in India by November-end.

Talking about specs, the Nokia 2.4 is a modest smartphone powered by MediaTek helio P22 chipset paired with 2GB/3GB RAM and 32GB/64GB internal storage. The highlight of this phone is its large 6.5-inch HD+ LCD panel with 21:9 aspect ratio and dew-drop notch.

The device’s body is made of polycarbonate and comes in three unique finishes called Charcoal, Dusk, and Fjord. On the back, it houses a 13MP (wide) + 2MP (depth) vertically aligned dual-camera setup along with an LED flash and a fingerprint sensor below it.

Whereas, on the front, the phone sports a 5MP shooter for selfies and video calls. As for software, it runs Android 10 and is eligible for Android 11 update and maybe even Android 12 as it is part of Android One program.

Last but not least, the Nokia 2.4 comes with a microSD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, single-band WiFi 5, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC, dedicated Google Assistant key, and a 4,500mAh battery that charges via MicroUSB port.

Do you need a very affordable phone with long-term software support? If so, HMD Global is one of the best choices you can make. The Finnish company which owns Nokia always releases devices that get long software support, even in the most affordable segment. This is a comparison between the latest Nokia entry-level phones: Nokia 2.4 is the most affordable one, the Nokia 3.4 sits in the middle and the Nokia 5.3 is the most advanced device of the trio. Is it worth spending more to grab a unit of the 5.3, is the Nokia 2.4 enough for your needs or you should reach a compromise such as the Nokia 3.4? This comparison will clear your ideas in regards.

Nokia 2.4 vs Nokia 3.4 vs Nokia 5.3

Design

Despite it is not the most expensive and advanced device of this comparison, the Nokia 3.4 is definitely the most attractive one when it comes to the design. Indeed, it is the only one with a punch-hole display instead of a waterdrop notch. Its rear side is very similar to the Nokia 5.3, with a circular camera module and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader. Nokia 2.4 is different from its more expensive siblings, but it is still a beautiful device compared to other entry-level phones. With these handsets, you do not get premium materials: they all come with polycarbonate bodies, but the display of the Nokia 5.3 is protected by Gorilla Glass 3.

Display

Nokia 2.4, Nokia 3.4, and Nokia 5.3 are equipped with below-average, displays, but they can still be considered sufficient panels. They come with HD+ resolution, so not a very high level of detail. With the Nokia 3.4, you get a higher pixel density, but at the same time, you get a smaller display. The best panel belongs to the Nokia 5.3 which provides a higher brightness. It even comes with a wider panel than its siblings. In each case, you get an IPS panel which is not disappointing.

Specs & Software

The best components belong to the Nokia 5.3 which has a lower-midrange hardware department. It includes a Snapdragon 665 chipset paired with up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD slot. Right after, we got the Nokia 3.4 with a still pretty nice Snapdragon 460 chipset which behaves pretty well in every scenario (but do not expect a lot if you are not a basic user). Unless you are a basic user, you should not go for the Nokia 2.4 as its Helio P22 is not a very powerful chipset. Nokia 2.4, 3.4, and 5.3 are all devices that will get 2 years of software support, despite they are budget phones. This is actually the strongest point of Nokia.

Camera

Nokia 5.3 wins the camera comparison, but it is not so different from the Nokia 3.4. It only adds an additional 2 MP macro camera on the rear side, but for the rest, it has the same camera setup including a 13 MP main sensor, a 5 MP ultrawide lens, and a 2 MP depth sensor. Even the front camera is identical: a sufficient 8 MP snapper. Nokia 2.4 is totally different with its 8 MP main sensor paired with a 2 MP depth sensor, as well as an inferior 5 MP front camera.

Battery

Nokia 2.4 is inferior to the Nokia 3.4 and 5.3 under all the aspects except battery life. With its bigger 4500 mAh battery, it is able to last more on a single charge. With Nokia 3.4 and 5.3 you will get more or less the same battery life (4000 mAh battery), but the Nokia 3.4 should last a bit more due to its smaller display.

Price

Nokia 2.4 is priced €120/$140 in its base variant, for the Nokia 3.4 you need €160/$185, and Nokia 5.3 costs €219/$255. The Nokia 5.3 is the winner of the comparison, but if you want to save some money, you won’t face a lot of compromises with the Nokia 3.4. It has lower performance than the Nokia 5.3, but it is still fast and reliable, and the rest of the specs sheet is very similar. We do not recommend the Nokia 2.4 due to its definitely weaker chipset and inferior camera department, but it has longer battery life.

HMD Global had a short online event today during which it announced a handful of products including the Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4 smartphones.
