                    I purchased this Nokia c21, I want to insert sim but I can't find how to insert sim 😭?

                      I have got this phone since March 12th, 2023 and almost 8 months with a lot of satisfaction under some conditions below.

                      1. Not a heavy user
                      My previous phone was Xiaomi Mi 6. I opened and switched about 10 apps most of the time due to my work. After my early retirement, it reduces to 2-3 apps now. Such as use market place app and find more information from browser. So 2GB of RAM doesn't hurt me much. Thanks to the Android Go Editions which uses much lesser computing resource.

                      2. Not a time-limited photographer
                      I love taking photo. But this phone is lacking of AI or enhanced or real-time calculation for what-you-see-is-what-you-get camera app. I need to edit photo few minutes after taking. But this is more fun for me. I have ever tried better camera apps such as GCam and Meitu but I return to manual editing for better photographing experience.

                      3. Not a gamer
                      I love reading news and technology article. I don't like playing game and there is no game app installed on my phone at all. So high performance GPU is not required.

                      4. Not a social maniac
                      I hate high time spending on social apps. I quit Facebook and other social apps 10 years ago. But I am still using FB Messenger for chatting. So high performance CPU and huge storage are not required. Actually the lite versions of FB and TikTok with fine in this phone.

                      5. Not young
                      As long sighted while we are getting older, clear view from high resolution cannot be noticed easily as younger. HD and Full HD are looked very similar while watching YouTube and other VDO apps. As long as I get HD level, it is happy enough for me.

                      So my spending for this phone is just 10% of my previous high-end phone. With this price range and Android Go Edition, I can replace a phone every year to experience other brand. My next phone in focus is among

                        Anonymous, 14 Sep 2023Does this phone work without battery like my old phone? To ... moreI tested with my phone before posting this response. The phone cannot be used without battery. It turns off immediately after remove battery while charger are plugged. It cannot be boot without battery while charger are plugged. The reason my be as below.

                        The problem is with the design of the charging circuit in the phone. In older phones the battery could be removed and the charger would simply deliver a suitable voltage. In all the phones of today the charger is more sophisticated. If it notes that the following voltage is zero (because there is no battery) it says, in effect, “Uh oh, this battery has been discharged beyond repair, and might explode if i deliver any charging current, therefore I will deliver no current at all”.

                          good option(device) for low budget people like me, device provide lag free performance, it has real octacore chipset ,fast enough for normal use, otg is also supported.

                              Does this phone work without battery like my old phone? To test, you must remove the battery from the phone while the phone is connected to the charger. If the phone does not turn off after removing the battery and works without problems for hours, then everything is fine.
                              For some reason, I want to use this phone as a modem and hotspot at a fixed point, so I want to remove the battery so that I don't have to worry about checking the battery and plugging in the charger. Because the cell phones are such that if they are always connected to the charger, their batteries swell and may explode. It also loses its capacity sooner.
                              With my old phone I only had to use the battery to turn on the phone or use the camera

                                        Unisoc SC9863a has a major security flaw which allows hackers to take control of the device. Has Nokia fixed this issue in their C-series phones?


                                        "The vulnerability allows intruders to access call and system logs, text messages, contacts, and other private data, video record the device's screen or use the external-facing camera to record video, or even take control of the device remotely, altering or wiping data," said McLean, Virginia-based mobile-security firm Kryptowire, which discovered the flaw.
