Nokia C3 Tipped to Come With Unisoc Processor, 3,040mAh Battery

Nokia C3 was spotted on Geekbench and seems to be the company's next smartphone in its budget friendly range. The listing has the name HMD Global Nokia C3 and shows some entry-level scores and specifications. Notably, the codename “GamoraPlus” was spotted in an earlier listing as well but at the time, there was no name associated with it. Now, the Nokia C3 with codename GamoraPlus has shown up in a new listing with the same processor but more RAM, indicating that there will be two models, at least. Additionally, it was also reportedly spotted in China's regulatory body TENAA's listing hinting at some of the other specifications.
