      The best entry level phone of its generation.
      There were a few features that really stood out -

      1. Great sounding Loud stereo speakers.
      2. Great display.
      3. Very good battery backup.
      4. Sd 425 was an entry level processor but still HMD made sure that it was optimized, as a result basic games and old games ran comfortably on this device.

      However there were a few negative things -

      1.Display was attached to the screen itself. As a result if the screen cracked then you would had to fix the display as well, which was quite costly, on top of that, screen glass was weak.

      2. Very bad camera and video quality.

                I have been using Nokia 2.1 since February 2019. It's a great phone, reliable battery life.

                      Great in it's day, reliable and sturdy.
                      1GB ram + Android 10 = 700MB+ ram used just turning it on before even using anything on the phone.
                      For me about 733MB used just to boot up.
                      Multi tasking is out the window almost instantly due to the limited ram and updated Android 10 os.

                      If you get the phone with Android 9 then you at least have a very brief multitask chance before the lag.
                      1GB ram + Android 9 = 500MB+ ram used just turning it on before even using anything on the phone.
                      For about 557MB ram used just to boot up.

                      Keep in mind the above ram useage is based on turning off/disabling/uninstalling all the google & 3rd party other bloatware that I don't want or use so less ram used on boot up.

                              Update to Android 10 (the 4.11_F_SPO3 build version) and see your Nokia 2.1 receive life again. Phone is now very stable, smooth and efficient on battery. Remember to backup and do a factory reset after the update/install

                                    You guys are posting good deeds about the phone.
                                    Probably a good phone but the real ram of this phone is about 908 mb(approximately 0.91gb ram)
                                    Also,I updated the phone to android 10, it just turn off the display over other apps.

                                      de dek, 05 Apr 2021Please help!!! My Nokia 2.1 crashed after the last upgrade and my phone is stuck at the Nokia ... morePress and hold Volume up (+) and Power button until the phone powers off (around 15 sec). Then wait 5 min and power on the phone. Thats it. Should work better. This is "hard" shut down. This is DIFFERENT than Hard Reset and you will NOT lose anything!
