Budget phone or not, the Nokia 2 is a lightweight smartphone that feels smooth to the touch. Its design has an intentional feel that is manifest in a sleek compact look.

For its official price of ₦32,000, the Nokia 2 does not look like a bad deal, but we must wait for a review to make an informed conclusion.
