Editorial note

The Nokia C12 stands out with its modern and sleek design, offering IP52 protection against dust and moisture, making it suitable for daily use in various environments. Its 6.3-inch screen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels promises a pleasant visual experience, ideal for browsing and watching videos. The 3000 mAh battery ensures comfortable autonomy, allowing users to stay connected throughout the day without frequent recharging. Additionally, facial recognition adds a layer of security and convenience for quickly unlocking the device. However, the Nokia C12 has some notable drawbacks. The RAM capacity, limited to 2 GB, may lead to slowdowns when using multiple applications simultaneously or more demanding games. The lack of support for 5G standards may disappoint users looking to benefit from faster connection speeds in the future. Furthermore, while the camera quality is acceptable for everyday use, it will not satisfy photography enthusiasts, with an 8 MP resolution on the back and 5 MP on the front. Finally, the choice of Micro-USB connector for charging and data transfer seems outdated compared to current standards, and the mono speaker may limit the audio experience, especially when listening to music or videos. Overall, the Nokia C12 offers good value for money with interesting features, although some limitations, particularly in terms of performance and audio quality, may disappoint some users.
