Nokia C02 5.45" Dual SIM Smartphone, Android 12 (Go edition) - 5MP Rear / 2MP Front Camera, Portrait Mode, 2GB RAM/32GB ROM, Tough build quality with IP52 Rating, 3000mAh battery - Charcoal

If you want a phone that is still technically a smart phone, but really not much more than a dumb phone with some extra features, for around £50, then this has to be it..This phone is clunky, and slow A.F. (and it weighs a ton too). So forget surfing YouTube or TikTok on this. But it did fine with my password manager and messaging apps. And the battery lasts for DAYS. In fact, in the year since i bought this phone, the battery has never once been below 80%. And it's hardly ever even that low..Seriously, if for some reason you want a smart phone that is this basic, then i only have one negative thing to say about this, and even that is just a petty quibble. And that is that i find the keyboard a little narrow and often make mistakes texting. But that's probably just me being fat fingered and clumsy, and your experience may differ..At this price, this might make a good back up or emergency phone for some people. And when it is no longer supported or wanted, you can put an SD card in here, fill it with music, and turn it into some kind of low budget music device. Seriously, with the battery lasting as long as this does then maybe it could be your jukebox for a long camping trip..

Nice little phone it was for my dad to use it's nice to use in the hand .there is a bit of a negative point to the phone and that is being able to get the back off so you can install the battery and SIM card in (put your finger nail in a small slot and twist edge to release) that's a joke it took me 40 minutes of trying to get it off it nearly went in the bin apart from this we would recommend it for the price

If the battery goes below 50% the phone does not work. It will not let me access a text message, send one or delete a message. When you make a phone call sometimes after the person has answered, the phone goes back to dialling tone or the person does not hear me or it just cuts off.

This was my first whizz-phone...I'd stuck with a simple phone for years but decided to move forward. The phone has a fairly recent edition of Android, so I thought I would be up to date. It has been a bad experience. This phone is painfully slow, using fast a broadband connection,. compared to my (quite old) laptop.Fortunatley I bought "as new" from Amazon (it looked new), so I didn't waste much on it and I can use it to learn how to use Android, so I will get something for my money. Otherwise I'll stick to my old model, with camera, MP3 and radio. It fits better in my pocket and does all I need (texts as well, if I ever want them)

I'm using this as a micro-tablet for my exercise classes. I have all the music I need on an SD card and the only other function I need is access to my address book to update it for new participants.I had previously been using a Samsung Tab 4 but it is no longer supported so it wouldn't reinstall the apps I wanted. I didn't particularly want a new 7" tablet. I was attracted to this for 4 reasons:1 - it's inexpensive,2 - it's NOT a Samsung and therefore doesn't have the clunky and infuriating Bixby installed3 - it's got a USB B socket the same as the other devices I use for the exercise classes4 - it's small but quite big enough for my purposesIt connects to my speaker through Bluetooth and works perfectly as an mp3 player.I have all my Google apps on the device and full access to everything I need to run my business; i'e Gmail, Google Keep, Drive, address book, Google calendar etc. The brilliant thing about using Google is that all devices synchronise with each other. I can enter a new contact on this device and it will automatically synch with my Chromebook and any other devices on the same Google account.The Go edition of Android is fine for my specific purposes running this business ... but I wouldn't have it on a phone; it's too under-powered.I don't have a SIM card in it. It automatically connects to the wifi of all the halls that I work in so I have Internet access should I need it. I leave it in my exercise business-bag so there's no chance of confusing it with my phone!I'm very happy to have this as a micro-tablet and it leaves my phone free to be used for everything else in life.************************************************I'm a great fan of Nokia stuff. I used to be a Samsung fan, but this Bixby stuff drives me nuts! My current phone is a Nokia G11 which I am delighted with. I thought at first that I would miss the Samsung customisations, but I really don't. Quite the opposite; it's a breath of fresh air not having to stress about Samsung installing apps that I don't want, but they think I should have.All smart Nokia devices run either a full basic or Go edition version of Android free of bloatware and without customisations. That suits me absolutely fine. When the time comes to replace my ageing Samsung 10" tablet, I'll go for a Nokia and make the transition complete. Yay! Samsung-free life.
