Gizchina News of the week


Earlier in the week, the Nokia 2 became available for sale in South Africa, after its initial debut in Russia.

Combining a premium aluminum frame with ā€œsculptedā€ polycarbonate, the Nokia 2 comes fitted with a 5-inch HD display with Qualcommā€™s new Snapdragon 212 SoC together with just 1GB of RAM and an 8GB of storage, which can further be expanded using microSD card up to 128GB.

The most interesting thing about the Nokia 2 is that it comes packed with a 4,100mAh battery which the maker claims can last a maximum of 2-days on a single charge. If Nokia 2 can actually live up to this claims, the device could very well be a perfect back up phone for those needing a second phone.
