Nokia C3 Design and Display

Since there hasn’t been a significant between the announcement of these successive devices, the design has remained the same in the C-series. The new C3 looks a lot like its predecessor. The polycarbonate body sports the pill-shaped module on the exact same spot. However, this time around Nokia has included a capacitive fingerprint scanner right below it.

The device comes with a 5.99-inch IPS LCD screen, which is slightly bigger compared to the C2. However, the 1440 x 720 pixels resolution has remained the same. The top bezel encloses the front camera. This time around, Nokia has removed the branding from the top and pasted it on the bottom chin.
