The budget-focused Nokia 2 is launching soon in the US (Update: Out now at Amazon, Best Buy)
June 29, 2025
At the time of writing, the Amazon listing is still showing as unavailable, but this hopefully shouldn’t be the case for too long.
Nokia’s resurgence in 2017 has been a fun thing to watch. It has put out several phones this year that are truly compelling. From theNokia 8to the super budgetNokia 2, it seems to have (almost) every base covered. The throwbackNokia 3310 3Geven has the feature phone market covered if you’re into that sort of thing.
But, it’s been hard to get your hands on the devices if you’re in the United States. We got word that theNokia 8 isn’t coming to the USand it looks like theNokia 6and Nokia 3310 3G are the only phonesyou can buy in the states with a warranty. Luckily, that’s about to change with the impending release of the Nokia 2.
As of right now, you’re able to head over to the Amazon listing for the Nokia 2 (link below) and check out all the details. It’s not on sale quite yet, but it’s coming soon. The phone comes unlocked for use on GSM networks likeAT&TandT-Mobile, but will not work onSprintorVerizon. It has a low-powered Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor, 5-inch 720p display, and a massive 4,100 mAh battery. It comes with Android 7.1.2 out of the box, and much like all other Nokia devices, there’spromised upgrades for Android Oreo and Android P.
The Nokia 2 is a compelling option as a first smartphone for a child or older parent or grandparent. As we stated inour first impressions post, the Nokia 2 is more than the sum of its parts. If you only look at specs, you might disregard the device out of hand, but for only $99, this thing looks like a steal.
