Nokia 2.1 and 3.1 officially launched in the Philippines

HMD Global’s next-generation Nokia 2 and 3 finally makes landfall in the Philippines — The Nokia 2.1 and 3.1. These entry-level and budget devices were launched back in May.

First up, the Nokia 2.1. It sports a 5.5-inch HD display, Snapdragon 425 processor, 1GB RAM, 8GB internal storage, 8MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, and a 4,000mAh battery. It has a color variant that almost mimics the looks and design of the Nokia 7 Plus — a blue and copper combination.
