The Nokia 2.2 offers the Latest Advances in AI and Android at an Accessible PriceHMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, announced the new Nokia 2.2 has arrived in the United States at Best Buy and Amazon starting at $139. The smartphone, which is now shipping, delivers sophisticated AI-powered low light imaging and Google Assistant at the press of a button.

The Nokia 2.2 is the first 2 series Nokia smartphone to be part of the Android One programme, delivering the latest full Android experience on a modern 5.7" screen with a discreet selfie-notch. Shipping with Android 9 Pie, the Nokia 2.2 is Android Q ready and will receive two years of OS upgrades and three years of monthly security updates, ensuring access to all the latest innovations from Android.

Maurizio Angelone, Vice President, Americas, HMD Global, said:
"At HMD Global, we believe everybody should have access to the latest smartphone innovations regardless of the price bracket they look to. With the Nokia 2.2, we are providing top notch AI experiences, biometric face unlock, Google Lens and the Google Assistant at the press of a button to a remarkable price point.

AI-powered low light imaging, and tech that lets you get ahead in life
Bringing sophisticated AI powered low-light image fusion at this price point, the Nokia 2.2 can take detailed photos even in trickier low light conditions. The camera snaps multiple images simultaneously and through advanced algorithms creates a single image with more light, greater detail and less noise. HDR photography captures vivid colours with greater dynamic range in every shot. Make your photos stand out with Google Photos AI-powered features like Colour Pop, to draw attention to your subject, Colourise, which enables monochrome pictures to be turned into full colour, and Beautify, which enhances natural features for the ultimate selfie.

In addition, fans get access to the latest tech trends with "face unlock" and Google Lens. The Nokia 2.2 is one of the first phones in its category to come with a biometric face-unlock feature, enabling you to unlock your phone effortlessly. And unlike other handsets at this price point, the advanced AI driven face-unlock uses deep learning algorithms and liveliness detection for an accurate and spoof-proof experience. Google Lens lets you search what you see so when you see a product you like, simply point the camera lens at it to know how you can buy it or point the lens at an album artwork to discover new music and stream via music services such as Spotify.

The Nokia 2.2 also offers the latest trends in screen design, featuring an edge-to-edge display with a modern discreet selfie-notch, maximising screen surface while maintaining a pocketable form factor. The 5.71" HD+ edge-to-edge display offers a large screen, while still ensuring the Nokia 2.2 is compact for single-handed use. The display, with 400nits brightness, allows for a more vivid viewing experience. All this comes powered by the quad core MediaTek A22 CPU chipset, which is designed to deliver battery optimisation, so your phone charge lasts you up to an entire day.

The Nokia 2.2 gives fans the chance to express themselves, bringing back personalised smartphone style with exchangeable Nokia Xpress-on covers. The covers use the same nano-texture coating technology to offer you a premium glossy look in a range of vibrant colours. The Nokia Xpress-on covers can be easily interchanged in a matter of seconds and will be available in Pink Sand, Ice Blue and Forest Green*.

Fast access to the Google Assistant with dedicated button
