Just in time for kids going back to school next week, HMD Global has announced a new value mobile phone for Australia in the form of the Nokia 2.3. Priced at $199 and launching with Android 9 Pie, the phone is pitched as a value flagship, and launches this week on 23rd January.
Available just in time for the new school year, the Nokia 2.3 combines security with the latest tech at an affordable $199, making it the perfect choice for parents looking to buy their kids a smartphone for the new year.
The Nokia 2.3 is fuelled by advanced AI, with features including the new and exclusive ‘Recommended Shot” feature, two days of battery life and biometric facial recognition technology. Users also benefit from monthly security updates and two major OS updates, and with HMD Global’s data collection centre based in Finland and compliant with European security measures and legislation, users benefit from the highest global security standards.

Totally agree. iOS devices get updates available from day 1 on recent devices. The selling features of OneUI is that it gets timely updates. Not acceptable that Android 10 was released 4 months ago and it comes with the previous OS. It had want to be able to be installed after opening!
it dosen’t matter it was released in 2019 and its getting android 10 soon and you are completing ios they are horrible value and expensive
HMD need to hang their heads in shame, for releasing this AndroidOne device on Android 9.
