Three new budget Nokia C Series devices announced at MWC 2022

HMD Global has announced three new additions to its Nokia C series of devices, which aim to deliver consumers affordability and reliability.

The company announced the devices as part of MWC 2022, which started on 28 February.

The three new devices which will be added to the series include the Nokia C21, C21 Plus, and C2 2nd edition.
