The Nokia 2V was introduced last year as a rebranded Nokia 2.1 for Verizon. The U.S Carrier has now partnered with Nokia to unveil a successor dubbed Nokia 2 V Tella. The smartphone is presently on sale on Walmart.com and offline on Walmart stores. It carries a decent price tag of $89 for prepaid customers but the full retail price is $168.

The Nokia 2 V Tella features a 5.45-inch display with an HD+ resolution of 720p+. The display utilises the 18:9 aspect ratio and providing the interface is the Android 10 operating system. This is stock Android and not the Go edition which was utilised on last year’s Nokia 2 V.  There is equally a dedicated Google Assistant button on the side of the phone.

The device is powered by a MediaTek Helio A22 chipset. The chip is a 12nm SoC consisting of four Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.0 GHz. It also bundles a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. The processor is paired with 2GB of RAM and there is 16GB storage with the option of expansion via the microSD card slot.

For photography, the smartphone features a dual-camera setup at the rear made up of an 8MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. The depth of field sensor can be deployed to achieve customizable bokeh effects, whereby you can choose between Classic, Star, Heart, Butterfly, Flake and Water Drop. In addition, the camera snaps photos before and after you press the shutter so that you get to pick the best one. It equally comes with a cool Portrait mode that works even in the dark.

Under the hood, the Nokia 2V Tella crams a decent 3,000mAh battery, which HMD says is enough to last 2 days of general use. It charges over USB-C and while 10W charging is supported, you only get a 5W adapter in the box. An “AI-assisted Adaptive Battery” keeps an eye on what apps you use the most and allots a bigger share of the battery to them.

In terms of connectivity, the Tella features LTE Cat. 6, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2 and has a built-in GPS for positioning. There’s also a 3.5 mm headphone jack plus FM radio receiver.
