Marketed with a 5.45-inch display, 4G connectivity, and Android 12, it targets cost-conscious users needing a reliable phone. In 2025, the C100 remains a practical budget option, though its modest specs and nearing support end limit its competitiveness against newer C-series models.

The Nokia C100, likely under $85 in 2025, offers a compact 5.45-inch display and lightweight 159g design, making it a portable budget option for calls, texting, and light browsing. The 3000 mAh battery with 10W charging provides modest endurance, while the MediaTek Helio A22 with 3GB RAM handles basic apps adequately, though it falters with multitasking or media-heavy tasks.

With software support nearing its end, the C100 suits budget users needing a simple, reliable phone for everyday essentials in 2025, but newer models like the Nokia C210 offer better performance and battery life.
