Nokia is bringing three new smartphones to the US with the C100, C300 and XR21. For the most part, you won’t find anything here that’s going to be one of the best Android phones of 2023, but the C100 and C300 would be great options if you’re looking for cheap Android phones, and the Nokia XR21 looks like a great choice if you need something that can take a beating.

The Nokia C300 is another affordable smartphone option that comes with a 6.52-inch HD+ display, Snapdragon 662 SoC, 3GB of RAM, and 32GB of internal storage. In terms of cameras, you will get a triple camera setup on the back with a 13MP main sensor, 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro sensor. The phone has a 4,000mAh battery that Nokia says can last up to two days on a single charge. The C300 will be available for $139 at Walmart, Target, Best Buy Consumer Cellular, and retailers that support Tracfone wireless.
Nokia XR21
The Nokia XR21 is finally coming to the US and is being described as a virtually indestructible phone, with the company stating that the phone is drop, dust and water resistant. That’s quite the statement, considering most devices out there today only withstand natural elements and drops. As you can imagine, with this kind of protection, the phone has received MIL-STD-810H certification.
In terms of specifications, the Nokia XR21 features a 100% recycled aluminum body with a 6.49-inch 120Hz, 1080p display protected using Corning’s Gorilla Glass Victus. The phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 5G SoC, which is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It has a dual rear camera setup, with a 64MP wide camera and an 8MP ultrawide camera.
In addition to its durability, the phone also offers a long life with its large 4800mAh battery that can provide up to 2 days of battery life on a single charge. Nokia will provide three years of operating system updates and four years of security updates. The phone will be available on the Nokia website in the US in Midnight Black and will cost $500.
For a limited time, Nokia is giving away a free pair of noise canceling earphones. Just in case you’re worried about carrier compatibility, the Nokia XR21 will work best with Boost, Cricket, Go Talk, H2O Wireless, Metro, Mint, Net10, Simple Mobile, T-Mobile, and Tracfone. While it will work with AT&T, Nokia offers a disclaimer stating that the phone will not support 5G on its wireless carrier.
