Graphics rendering is also much improved, although the picture here is still rather bleak. An average on-screen frame rate of 16fps in the GFXBench Manhattan 3 gaming test is over three times faster than the Nokia 1.4’s result but there’s still a lot of room for improvement. The next case on the list is the BoerHang Armor Case for Nokia C21 Plus. The inner surface of this case adopts a soft TPU design, thin and durable. The outer surface of the protective shell adopts a textured design and non-slip and scratch-resistant material design which does not fade. The four corners strengthen the protection design. The protective shell is higher than the screen and camera, which can protect the phone more effectively. The Nokia C21 Plus runs Android 11 Go Edition, which is a tailored version of Google’s mobile OS specifically designed for low-end devices. What this means is that the phone launches with tweaked ‘Go’ versions of Google’s applications, such as Chrome, Maps and Gmail. Next we have the FTRONGRT Leather case for Nokia C21 Plus. This wallet case cover is made of waterproof soft and durable PU leather and soft TPU inner shell, excellent in scratch resistance, ventilation, soft and comfortable gripping feeling. The inner case is flexible for easily putting your Nokia C21 Plus in the case without worrying about scratching your devices. The flip case with a stand function brings you more convenience to watch videos or play games anywhere, anytime.

There’s an okay amount of detail to captured images and the colour balance is nice and neutral but it’s far from perfect. Depending on the light, photographs can look soft and in bright conditions, it had a tendency to overexpose images. There was a fair amount of lag between pressing the shutter button and the camera actually capturing the image, too.

The Nokia C21 Plus provides great value for (very little) money

Budget smartphones hardly push the boundaries in terms of design but the Nokia C21 is better than most. Next up is the HHUAN case for Nokia C21 Plus. The product is made of high-quality TPU material, is easy to install, has soft edges that will not scratch the phone, is very flexible, comfortable, and without any volume. When using the Nokia C21 Plus, you don’t feel anything on your smartphone. The soft silicone sleeve can perfectly fit your phone. Thanks to its precise cut, you can easily operate all ports and buttons without removing the protective sleeve. Finally, video is captured at 1080p and 30fps, up from the 720p limit on the Nokia 1.4. Footage looks good for the most part but there’s no image stabilisation so you’ll have to be careful to hold your phone still when recording.
