Nokia C12 Plus Price in India and Specifications
The Nokia C12 Plus has been launched with a single 2GB RAM option in India. The phone offers 32GB of internal storage and offers microSD card support. Users can expand the storage up to 256GB via a memory card. The phone has been priced at Rs 7,999 in India.
In comparison, the Nokia C12 has a starting price of Rs 5,999, whereas the C12 Pro is priced at Rs 6,999. The C12 Plus has been launched in three colour options — Dark Cyan, Charcoal and Light Mint.
In terms of hardware, the phone is quite similar to its siblings. It has a curved frame and body. The rear panel is made of plastic. It has a slightly oval-shaped camera module for the single rear camera setup. There is an 8MP rear camera sensor with an LED flash module.
For selfies, the C12 Plus has a 5MP front camera sensor. The front camera is placed inside the water-drop notch at the top centre of the display. The C12 Plus has a 6.3-inch IPS LCD display with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1512 pixels. There is support for a standard 60Hz refresh rate. While the top and side bezels are fairly thin, the chin bezel is quite thick.
Under the hood, the C12 Plus has a UniSoc SC9863A1, which is one of the most entry-level SoCs available in the market. The SoC is paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. This also means that the C12 Plus only supports Android 12 Go Edition out of the box.
The phone also packs a bigger battery compared to its siblings. There is a 4000mAh battery under the hood. The phone continues to support 10W charging via a microSD 2.0 port.
The device does not feature a fingerprint scanner but you do get a 3.5mm headphone jack, a single speaker, and support for Bluetooth 5.2 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n.
With its price tag, the C12 Plus competes against the likes of a few budget smartphones in India, such as the Moto E13, Redmi A1, POCO C50, Realme C30s, Realme Narzo 50i, etc.
