Camera and Connectivity Features
On the camera front, the Nokia C20 Plus features a dual rear camera setup. The primary lens is an 8-megapixel shooter, accompanied by a 2-megapixel secondary sensor.

For connectivity, the phone supports 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth v4.2, GPS/A-GPS, and FM Radio. It also includes a Micro USB port and a 3.5mm headphone jack — both of which are increasingly rare in newer smartphones but welcome in the budget segment.
Battery Life
One of the standout aspects of the Nokia C20 Plus is its 4950mAh battery, which HMD Global claims can deliver up to two days of backup on a single charge. The phone supports 10W wired charging via the Micro USB connector. For budget users who prioritise endurance over fast charging, this is a meaningful advantage.
