Nokia C30

The Nokia C30, launched in July 2021, is a budget smartphone originally priced at $150, offering a massive screen and battery for 2025’s media-focused users. Powered by the Unisoc SC9863A, it caters to those needing endurance and display size on a budget. Available in Green and White, its robust design emphasizes practicality over flashiness. Marketed with a 6.82-inch display, 4G connectivity, and a dual-camera setup on Android 11 Go Edition, it’s built for prolonged media use. In 2025, the C30 remains a strong budget contender, though its aging hardware and ended support reduce its long-term value.

The Nokia C30, likely under $130 in 2025, excels with its 6000 mAh battery and 6.82-inch display, making it a budget media powerhouse for streaming, browsing, or reading. The 13MP + 2MP dual-camera setup offers decent daylight shots, while the 5MP front camera handles basic selfies. The Unisoc SC9863A with up to 3GB RAM manages light tasks, but its weight (237g) and slow 10W charging detract from portability and convenience. Expandable storage up to 256GB supports large media collections, and its durable build ensures reliability. With software support ended, the C30 suits budget users needing a long-lasting phone for entertainment in 2025, but its lack of 5G and dated performance lag behind newer models like the Nokia C300.
