SUMMARY: This is a amazing phone for the money, but only if you don’t need many apps or require high performance.According to the reviews here everyone either loves or hates this phone, which made it difficult for me to decide if it was right for me. It turns out to be perfect but I’m using it as a 2nd phone for travel; it would NOT work as my primary phone.The difficulty with this phone is insufficient memory and storage space, as others have pointed out. Today it was running slowly and I tried to send a picture via MMS and it failed. Turns out I’m running out of storage already. I was able to uninstall some apps and move others to the SD card to get it working well again, but I still have less than 1GB to spare. Everything else about this phone is better than I expected for what I paid ($100) and it’s so nice to never have to worry about the battery dying!This review is for the TA-1035-B. I notice earlier versions are selling for even cheaper but I can’t vouch for those. BTW if you have a little extra to spend, my primary phone is a Moto G5 Plus which I found for only $150 and is a nice upgrade in every way from my previous phone which cost almost $1000! (Galaxy S6) There’s just no reason to spend that much for a phone any more.

I am in love with the battery and I love that the phone lasts for more than a day maybe even 2 or 3! I like the heaviness of it and the curves. It’s perfect! I just didn’t like the operating system which is Android, since it’s my first time coming from a Windows phone. I had to look up online for a bunch of hacks since a lot of what the Andriod system was doing is slowing the phone and making it lag unnecessarily. I’m not used to waiting a second or two just for the text screen to pop up.The camera is ok. Don’t zoom. It sucks and use the editing system to correct the colors. Also that “Beautify” option on the camera will make selfies look gorgeous.A micro SD card is required. I don’t use a lot of apps but they do update a lot and ironically the Android operating system already takes a chunk of the 8GB. Half of it actually.One of the problems I’ve run into is receiving pictures. I wasn’t receiving them. It had a lot more to do with T-mobile than the phone. I just restarted it or tried to look for a better signal.I’m not sure about games. I don’t have any on it but I don’t think it’s capable of gaming. The most usage I have gotten out of the phone is for emails, social media, reading, youtube, surfing the net, and GPS navigation. That’s my everyday use and it lasts for more than a day. There are ways to make it last longer and to fix the system and it’s all online. Plus it also helps that the phone is built well. I dropped it accidentally without a case and it only had a few scratches but nothing falling off or broken.

For the price this is an excellent phone, I bought it for my parents. The difference in speed between this phone and my iPhone SE is barely noticeable. The Nokia only comes with 8GB of memory, before I put any apps on it I noticed it had about 4.3GB of space left. I added a micro SD card even though I only put a couple of apps in the phone. It takes better looking pictures than my iPhone SE. The battery does last days on Standby, I would say about 4 days. Due to the low price it doesn’t have some upscale features such as a metal back or the latest battery charging connector, still at $99 you are getting a lot of bang for your buck. I’m tempted to get a Nokia phone as a replacement for my iPhone but I really do prefer iOS over Android. Too bad you can’t get iOS on Nokia.

I purchased this for my wife to replace a Nokia Lumia 521. She uses it primarily for phone and text, and taking pictures. It is a perfectly adequate device for her needs (and is reviewed in that context). Coming from the unsupported Windows Phone ecosystem, it was also a nice perk to install a few home automation apps on the new phone.This device will not win any awards for speed, but in this case, that isn’t an issue. It calls, it texts, it takes pictures. Switching between apps is a little slow, but not annoyingly so. It is pretty much stock Android (as of this review, it is running Android 7.1.1, 8.1 is in beta for the device but I won’t subject my spouse to beta testing).The build quality of the device is top notch. It feels more like a mid-range device than a budget handset (especially compared to the old Lumia 521). The screen is clear and sharp. I added a basic case and screen protector to the phone just in case.Storage is definitely a compromise. After installing updates, about 3 GB of 8 GB were still free. If you want to install apps or take pictures, you’ll want a microSD card. Fortunately we had one from her old phone, so that wasn’t any extra cost at this time.Overall, this is a solid budget device, and I definitely recommend it.Pros:-Low cost-Stock Android-Receives Android updates-Good build quality-Decent battery life-Nice screenCons (this is a budget device and these are definitely not dealbreakers):-A little slow-Low storage

Let me be clear on one thing: I purchased this as a phone only, NOT a pocket computer. I have 3 computers that I can actually see: why would I want to strain my eyes on a tiny screen? I have no data service with my carrier, only talk and text, and have turned off the WiFi so Google can’t spy on me (I hope). I mainly wanted a phone with a proper keyboard for texting. The thing has great battery life: over a week between charges. I have no wish to spent hundreds of dollars on the latest fashionable smartphone. This phone fit the bill.

Update 01/11/2018I love this phone so much that bought one more for my husband! I wanted only a basic phone but with all new features of a smartphone I opened a new world of modern technology which makes calling and getting voice mails more manageable and organized. Thank you, Nokia, for this affordable gadget! Original reviewI bought this phone ONLY for calling function and excellent battery life and will review it from this position.Everything else (smartphone features) are not necessary for me. Check out the user guide for more information – nokia.com/en_int/phones/support/pdf/nokia-2-user-guideWhat’s in the box?- Phone Nokia 2- Charger- Charging/data cable- Quick guide- HeadsetFeatures:- Dual SIM- Battery life is exactly what I wanted – amazing 4100 mAh battery!- T-mobile 4G is working fine for my purpose (regular phone calls) – I bought this phone only for calls, I don’t need anything elseMy favorites:- I can block the unwanted numbers!- I can choose the time periods when the unwanted calls will never disturb me! (function “Do not disturb”-“Automatic rules”)- The phone suggests me if the missing call number is likely a scam that is saving me time to look it up in internet- If I missed a call and somebody left a message for me, now I can see the playable track on the display and can stop, pause or start the voice mail at any point of its length which helps me tremendously in understanding of all important informationI had a chat with Nokia representative and he told me that Nokia 2 is a quad-band GSM phone.

Before i took the plastic wrap off or even turned it on, i was very impressed by the weight and feel of the Nokia 2. Weighing in at 162 grams, she’s got some Gravity in her! It feels good.I bought this phone because;I have owned two Windows Nokia Lumia’s. before, and both were excellent! (The Nokia 2 being no exception =D)The advertised battery capacity.A “Pure” android operating system.Nokia delivered just that and more!The build quality and feel is beautiful. I bought a white model, and the two tone black metal bezel to the white body is very smooth.The screen, for a 720×1280 res @ 296 Display PPI, looks very good. Nokia states that this is an energy efficient screen. It looks good compared to a Samsung.The performance of the phone is slow. Not fast. Again, Nokia stated that this is an energy efficient CPU. I am a very demanding performance enthusiast! I like fast cars, and Fast computers! That said, i am not disappointed by the phones performance at all. It is a quality Snapdragon CPU, so i am sure it will churn through many tasks very steadily. Using this as a daily driver, along with a more powerful tablet, might be a good strategy to consider for power users. Just saying.I am writing this review about 24 hours after the unboxing, and it is above half battery life since initial charge. And i leaned on the camera and downloaded, installed and configured almost 100 apps. I will be pushing this phone.It accepted a 128gb micro sd card. So, mem is not an issue with the initial 8gb and the Clean and Bloatware Free Android Os allows you to control where you store what.Device could very easily be bootloader unlocked and flashed, if that’s your thing. I might try Lineage os at some time, but i see no reason as this is one of the cleanest Android OS’s i’ve ridden so far.Camera doesn’t seem to be on par with previous Nokia’s with the Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. No problem, its still a great value. And i have yet to get a feel for it. TBD. . .I think this is a great product and just want to shout out to the engineers who put the Nokia 2 on the shelf, you guys are all right in my book.

Not expecting much from this phone since the specs aren’t great at all, not sure why ppl expect it to perform like a iPhone8… It is a slow phone but as a phone for my senior dad who only knows how to call and read a photo text, use google voice search, and maybe another 5-10 apps max this is a great phone. It’s loud, vibrate function is strong, screen is bright and clear enough, it’s lightweight, and the battery last closer to those old school GSM phones (2-3 days!). And best part is no worries if dad drops and breaks it, the price point is almost disposable and it gives dad assurance that he’s not going to lose $500 if he break/drop something like he did with his old iPhone.

This is a great, simple, long lasting phone. If you want a high powered smart phone, don’t get this, but if you want something that can handle simple things (like phone calls, text, Facebook, etc.) then this is a great phone (even though a bit slow with Facebook). It not good for games, of course, and it doesn’t have an amazing camera (although not too bad either).I got it simply because we needed another phone for phone calls and this has a great price.

For $100.00 in 2018, I think this is the budget phone to beat. Let me emphasize, this is a entry level smartphone, but the build quality is great. I have a OnePlus 5 myself and was very surprised how well the Nokia 2 compared when I unboxed it. I bought two of these for my parents at Christmas and they’ve had no issues with them running on T-Mobile. My daughter’s hand-me-down Nexus 5 recently tanked and I just can’t see spending much more than this on a phone for a teen. To me, excellent battery life and continued updates is more important than a little extra ram or faster processor. I considered the Amazon Moto e4 or e4 Plus, but those are towards the end of their life cycle and are never going to see Android 8.0. The Nokia 2 is at least slated to receive 8.1.Pros:- Cost- Great screen picture (no its not AMOLED etc… but were talking $100 phone here)- Very good call quality on T-Mobile, have yet to setup daughters phone on AT&T but will update once done- Large batttery- Dual Sim- Expandable Memory- Vanilla Android, not heavily skinned- Update to at least Android 8.1Cons:- Sluggish Performance- Built in 8gb memory is over 1/2 gone as soon as you start up the phone- OK camera
