no B28 but it does have NFC
also non mediatek so thats a plus
64GB isn't bad. And dual SIM. Excellent Hands Feeling and Brightness Vision Feeling seal the deal.
No updates.
no Android update guarantee
As above comment no B28 but also no B5 for Vodafone/Kogan. On the plus side has Android 8 Oreo and
Google Play pre-installed, but no further updates, not even security if that matters. Still good phone for $.
I have 3 of the non-C10. Assuming that the construction is similar or identical, the glass appears a bit fragile even with light drops causing crackes all over the screen (had a clear ebay protective case installed as well). So if you do buy one, get an armoured case. I have recently received two Nokia 6.1 from Tobydeals and the build quality is better (not going to do a drop test) but it has more recent updates and from my reading, will continue to be updated.
The Nokia is a really solid phone and just like the Moto G5/Plus can take a fair beating, but is also a bit bigger and heavier. As it is Android one it should get one more major os update and security updates until Jan 2021, so much better there.
Although the Sharp would not be as tough ( at least the front glass going by above comment ), it is nice and light, much smaller and compact with same size screen ( includes small notch ). I also find that the Cat 6 compared to only Cat 4 on the Nokia makes internet/app update use noticeably faster, and the screen has a bit punchier colors than the Nokia.
They are both great phones for between $180-$230 delivered depending on which phone and location, especially if you got these six months ago for these prices. I paid around $300 for my Nokia around a year ago and felt it was a good phone then. If I had to choose now I would get the Nokia from TobyDeals for $195-$230 ( depending on freight costs ) as I need both B5 & B28 and love having tough phones. But for people in built up areas and people with smaller hands, especially girls, the S2 is a great buy.
edit: I have S3 not S2 model.. Irrelevant comment..
Think i only paid ~$220 for the S3 & it has Band 28 etc.. this deal, although there have been more recent cheaper deals..
I'd personally pay the little extra for the S3 for the extras bands, F/P reader etc..
