Nokia 2.3 India Launch Officially Teased: Can it Take on the Redmi 8A?

Just a few days ago, HMD Global launched the Nokia 2.3 entry-level smartphone with basic specifications on board. The Nokia 2.3 comes as a successor to the Nokia 2.2 which is now selling at a starting price of Rs 5,999. Now, HMD Global is teasing the entry-level smartphone’s launch in India and it will replace the Nokia 2.2. But the real question is- will the Nokia 2.3 take on the Xiaomi Redmi 8A which is currently the best entry-level smartphone in India. At Rs 6,499, the Redmi 8A offers 5000mAh battery, 18W fast charging support, 12MP rear camera and a big display. Nokia 2.3 also has a lot going for it- stock Android 9 Pie, 4000mAh battery and dual rear cameras, but the pricing would be very crucial for HMD Global to succeed and keep the Nokia brand name going forward.
