I had this phone 14 days before i had to return it and get a refund. Within two days of having it the volume button down stopped working, within a week the power button stopped working too. I restarted it using the accessibility setttings and everything worked again. The next day it was back to the same problems, and the screen began flickering.

While the screen brightness was good for the price range, and it boasts the feature of adjusting to your lighting, this proved more annoying than helpful. At full brightness it could still brighten the screen if exposed to light- but not at the contol of the user. Throughout the weeks I had it I searched through all setting to attempt to control or deactivate this "feature" but was unable to. Additionally the camera was low quality, the storage was bad and barely anything I backed up actually came through on the phone. Overall, this phone was $150 dollars I regretted spending, but was a stop-gap measure until I had the funds to get a higher-quality (but still cheap) mobile.

Thankfully I kept all the receipts, didn't damage the phone at all and so was able to get a full refund. I do not reccomend this phone. It may be that I was unlucky and got a defective phone, but it is not worth the money to risk it. I will be investing in a more expensive (but hopefully better quality) phone that has less risk.

    Just keep your expectations low on a phone like this & not compare it with a flagship or even a midranger.

      I had a bit of a love hate relationship with this phone. While I was pleasantly surprised with the battery life on the phone, previously coming from a LG V30+ and a slightly bigger screen, plus the added addition of things like labelling calls as potential spam calls. I soon realised it probably wasn't as powerful as my old phone and it would often show, in regards to running multiple apps at once and weirdly not allowing me to install certain apps due to compatabillty issues, including Google image app, which seemed weird as this phone is a Google programmed phone. So to summerise, a decent phone if your after good battery life and standard functions, but not one that's gonna provide a high quality experience.

        The c20 is a complete garbage but the c30 compensate very well, I didn't expect that from Nokia. I'm glad I tested the c30 before I gave up on Nokia and I wished Nokia launch more of these android go phones with massive batteries and lag free experience. On the repairability scale, I give this phone a solid 9 out of 10, I think it's fair but I simply wished Nokia would launch the c30 with android 12 go instead of the 11 go

I think that my 2660 will go str8 to the trash and I will keep the c30, since the c30 is OTG compatible, the wifi and Bluetooth hooks up well, no hiccups

And anyway a few mAh here and there won't make a great deal of difference if you don't optimize power consumption, which I believe Nokia does better than Xiaomi. Nokia's pure Android consumes less than the fancy MIUIs of the likes of Xiaomi. 5850 mAh of Nokia C30 is still a great deal more than 5000 mAh of Galaxy A03 Core and Redmi 9. In case of Nokia C20, measly 50 mAh is not worthy even of accusation. I do not believe Nokia did it on purpose, could be some misunderstanding between Nokia and the battery supplier. 4 days from Nokia 2660 isn't as bad as you make it sound.

I took the back cover of my Galaxy a03 core and it was rated at 5000 mah battery (as advertised), did the same thing with my Redmi 9 advertised at 5020 mah and it was indeed 5020 mah rated. Nokia did the same thing with the C20 with a 3000 mAh battery when it's rated 2950 mah.

                A lot of people claimed that Nokia feature phones could hold charge for days. Bullshiit, I've been using the 2660 which has a capacity of 1400 mah and could barely hold charge for 4 full days , while my old LG Optimus l5, which ran on Android 4 had a better battery backup which could make the phone last 5 days maximum when not in use or barely used. Hence the reason why I drifted away from Nokia because even itel which is not a known brand is giving better software optimization compared to Nokia

                        Would have been nice if the 6000mAh battery is removable like other C series. With a backup battery or two you can go on a long trip in the wild.

                              It's ok for a cheap phone, good display, battery and smooth operating system, only downsides are the bellow average cameras and rear mounted speaker that is easy to block with your hand.

                                  You must live in a place with really bad phones to have to say this is good. It deserves gratitude for battery life but the camera is really bad and so is the flashlight. For example, I had the flashlight on for 5 minutes and it turned off because the phone was going to "overheat." I did get it as a gift and I am thankful for that but for how big it is it could fit really good parts in it, *especially a better camera.*

                                      Recieved phone as a gift best thing about it is that it is big enough & heavy enough to be used as a boat anchor, and that is where it is going. Designed for and to be sold in India Telstra saw it as an easy and cheap way to make a profit at the bottom end of the market .
                                      absolute rubbish , too big to be carried around too slow and using an antiquated chip set

                                        Yeah, it works well but its price can't favour low income earners so, reduce its price to increase its demand. #calpat
