HMD Global has just launched its latest budget Android phone – the Nokia C3. The latest Nokia offering has a rather outdated design with thick bezels on the front, but that is forgivable given the phone’s low asking price. Notably, there is a customizable “Xpress Key” on the side that can be pressed to trigger certain apps or functions.

On the front, you’ll find a 5.99-inch HD+ display while an unidentified octa-core processor clocked at 1.6GHz ticks under the hood. There is an 8MP camera at the back, and a 5MP snapper on the front to handle selfies and video calls. Nokia C3 comes equipped with a rather small 3,040mAh battery, but given the phone’s frugal hardware, it will likely last a full day on a single charge.
