Nokia 2 Price
Nokia 2 is also listed in the US via Amazon as the device has been spotted listed by the e-retailer priced at $99. The listing shows that the device will be available with T-Mobile and AT&T carriers in the country. The Nokia 2 was launched last month in India in an official event with an entry-level processor but with a bigger battery.
The Nokia 2 is an entry-level smartphone, thus will not have flagship-level specifications and it will be powered by the entry-level Snapdragon 212 processor. The device has already got FCC approval with model number TA-1029 but the variant listed on B&H’s website comes with model number TA-1035. So the TA-1029 might be the other variant with different specs from the TA-1035. The specs of the device were also leaked in the past.
