I like this phone. For a low end smart phone the screen is a nice size, and the colors are excellent.
The interface is easy to use, navigate, and download apps.
It has a nice supply of wallpapers in various categories. It also has an option to get a daily one sent to your phone every morning in the category of your choice. You can also upload your own.
The ringtones included are pretty lame. However, you do have an option to add your own which is easy to do. Especially if you download a ringtone maker.
The sound is about average, but is loud enough to hear. You need a headset or a Wi-Fi speaker to get a quality sound. Once you do, you will be happy.
I did notice the other day when I was put on hold, the elevator music sounds low even at the highest volume level.
All in all... It is a great phone for the price.

The first thing that I like about this phone is as it seems to have really good battery life, that counts for a lot.
Next thing that I like about this phone is it seems to pull in cell signal better than my old phone.
The next thing that I like about this phone is yhat I think it has a very good screen size for the price.
I like the look and feel of the phone it seems pretty solid especially for the price,
the only thing keeping me from rating at 5 stars is that it does not have a fingerprint sensor which I liked a lot on my previous phone it does have facial recognition but it seems to be very unreliable and slow if it decides it wants to work at all.
But I could get around that.
If I need to put in a pin then that's what I'll do, everything else about this phone I like a lot.
I have never been a person that needs the latest and greatest phone this phone will definitely fulfill my needs well.

The headline summarizes my feelings. It's a solid all rounder. It's not for gaming or anything like that. It's good for browsing Facebook and various websites, taking the occasional picture, and video chatting relatives. The phone feels fairly premium for its price point. It's a good upgrade for someone who has an older budget phone, or a very old flagship (sub 2015.)
This was a gift for my 62 year old dad, who seems to like it just fine.

This was my first time trying the NOKIA brand. And I was very impressed with the phone. It was fairly fast compared to other phones. I loved the camera. The graphics was very good. Just to put it ..... for a phone on a budget. It was well worth it. I felt they should have charged more for the phone. I loved it!!!. Only issue I had was I didnt realize at the time of purchasing it that is was fairly still new and it would be hard to find a case for it unless I ordered it on line. Other wise.... it was a 10 star phone to me.

Admittedly, I'm upgrading from a 6 year old Samsung Note 3 on Android 5.0, but I've been thrilled with the performance and quality of this $129 unlocked phone as its replacement. Fast. Crisp screen. Everything I need without the $48/mo add-on to my bill.

I've been using this Nokia 2.3 for a few weeks now and it's great. Plenty fast with a good amount of space left of apps. The phone immediately updated to Android 10 and worked perfectly fine with T-Mobile Prepaid $15 plan. VOLTE available with T-Mobile Prepaid service. The only thing I had issue with was getting the SIM slot to open up with the pin include in the box. I almost bent the plastic SIM slot holder.

An other great buy for me. I use a low cost carrier (Tello) witch is switching from CDMA to GSM. I wanted to stay with my carrier so I needed a cheap GSM phone. I found a great value in an open box unlocked Nokia 2.3. The phone is brand new and Nokia is quick to upgrade the OS. Phone came Android 9 and now has Android 11.

It's a little bit laggy because of the low memory and I noticed that the lcd screen is not very responsive compared to my Pixel phone or Oneplus. The signal is pretty good and also supports vo lte. You can also expand the storage with extra micro SD card. Overall, its a good phone for the price. The camera also is good for a low priced phone. I've got 4 OEM software updates last month That's great!!!

I bought my Nokia from BB with a "promo" of $50 off if activated now with AT&T. Well, I guess because of Covid-19, no one was available to assist me with it. I had to pay the $129 instead of $79 for this issue. I set up with AT&T and explained everything to them. They told me it was BB's issue because it was their system. So, if you think you're going to get a great deal online, be careful. Of course I love my phone but didn't really have the extra $50.

I needed a cheap unlocked phone for international travel. This was under $100 and large screen specs looked good enough. The camera is better than expecred and battery life is very good. Can't say much else was good. It would stall or lock up constantly. Lock you in or out of apps. Very irritating.

I like the display for it’s size and resolution. Camera and battery are excellent, the shape and color great too. Nokia has a great reputation since years, the price is affordable and it makes this phone so special to me .
