On the software front, the Nokia 2.2 successor runs on Android 9.0 Pie, which seems a bit old given the timeline of launch. However, HMD Global says that the phone is "ready for Android 10 and beyond" and that the phone will get three years of security updates and two years of software updates. As far as the camera is concerned, the Nokia 2.3 comes with a dual rear camera setup consisting of a 13MP lens with a focal length of f/2/2 and a 2MP depth sensor with LED flash. On the front, as I mentioned before the phone comes with a 5MP camera with a focal length of f/2.4.

The newly launched phone also comes with a bunch of new camera-focused features. It comes with a Recommended Shot feature which according to the company helps users pick the best picture when clicking multiple shots of the same subject.
