Celkon C2 Overall Review

The Celkon C2 is a reflection of the simpler times in the mobile phone industry, released in 2011. It boasts a modest 1.8-inch display, catering primarily to basic phone functionalities like calling, texting, and FM radio, adhering to the essence of feature phones. Equipped with a 1.3 MP primary camera, the C2 allows users to capture pictures with simplicity and a nostalgic flair.

The device is powered by a 1000 mAh battery, which is quite adequate given the limited power consumption of its functionalities. This ensures a longer battery life, making the C2 a reliable companion for day-to-day communication needs without the frequent need for recharging.

Storage can be expanded via a microSD card, providing users with the flexibility to store a limited number of photos, ringtones, and possibly MP3 files. Its design is straightforward, featuring a physical keypad that enhances the tactile texting experience.
