The Nokia 2.2 is powered by the Helio A22 chipset with a quad-core CPU, paired with either 2GB or 3GB RAM. The internal storage options are two – 16GB or 32GB, and they are both expandable via the microSD slot. The battery capacity is 3000mAh and it charges over a microUSB port.
The Nokia 2.2 is part of the Android One program, and it runs on near stock Android Pie. The phone is assured of at least three years of software updates; this means it will get Android Q and the version after that at least. This feature alone makes it stands out from other entry-level devices from other manufacturers. The Nokia 2.2 also comes with a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left-hand side.
