The Bold N2 5G retains the 6.74-inch HD+ LCD screen from the predecessor, but the refresh rate has been increased from 90Hz to 120Hz. The display is bright, and the sunlight legibility is decent.
It has the notch that houses a 5-megapixel camera. The earpiece is present on the top edge, but it doesn’t double up as a secondary speaker. You can see the thick bezel below the screen, which is common in phones in the price range.
Powered by the Unisoc T8200 6nm SoC, which is another name for the T765 used in the predecessor, it has 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 4GB of virtual RAM and comes with 64GB of UFS 2.2 storage. There are 8 bands. The phone runs Android 16 without any bloatware.
Coming to the button placements, the power button is present on the right side that embeds the fingerprint scanner, and the volume rockers are present above it. The dedicated dual SIM and microSD slot is present on the left side. The 3.5mm audio jack, primary microphone, USB Type-C port, and primary speaker are present on the bottom. There is nothing on the top.
The phone features a 13-megapixel main camera, the same as the Bold N1 5G. It supports up to 4K 30 fps video recording for the back camera, which is rare in phones in the price range, and the front camera supports up to 1080p 30 fps video recording. Check out some camera samples below.
The glossy plastic back is prone to fingerprints, but the design is attractive. The phone packs a huge 6000mAh battery compared to 5000mAh in the Bold N1. It has support for 18W charging but comes with a 10W charger in the box.
Priced at Rs. 12,999, it is now on sale on Amazon.in. The company offers “Free Service @ Home” similar to its other phones.
