• Build – Glass front, plastic frame, plastic back
• SIM – Single SIM (Nano-SIM) or Dual SIM (Nano-SIM, dual stand-by)

The smartphone boasts a plastic casing with a ridged finish that provides a decent grip. The design is straightforward, and the device does not pretend to be something it is not. The back of the device has a light ridging that gives it some texture, and the device’s camera housing is a rounded rectangle in one corner. The side-mounted fingerprint scanner is reliable and well-placed.

The phone features a 6.5-inch LCD screen with a 720p resolution, which is lower than some of its rivals. The panel is below average, despite having a 90Hz refresh rate that makes menus appear to scroll more smoothly. However, the color depth is limited to sRGB and lacks the vibrancy of OLED displays. The brightness is not a major issue of the Nokia C21 Pluse, with a rating of 400 nits, which is enough to deliver good clarity in bright light conditions.

• Chipset – Unisoc T606 (12 nm)

The Nokia G21 runs on Android 11 and has a tastefully plain interface. Although there is some basic navigational lag, it does not impact the user experience significantly. The device’s gaming performance is not poor, and there is no lag or stuttering. However, this does not imply that you use the device to play heft games. The device has a Unisoc SoC and 4GB of RAM, which is good for basic tasks, but heavy multitasking or demanding apps may slow it down.

The phone has a triple camera setup, a 13-megapixel primary camera, a 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. The camera performs well in good lighting conditions, producing sharp and detailed photos. However, low-light performance is not its strong suit, with photos appearing grainy and noisy. The device also has a 5-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies.
