When we want to buy a cheap mobile, in the range of less than 100 euros, the options may seem a priori more limited than in the mid-range, but the truth is that we have a wide range of options. Two of the less interesting 100 mobile phones are the Xiaomi Redmi 7A and Nokia 2.2. Let’s take a look at its main differences and advantages of one over another.

Both terminals are offered as smartphones cheaper of both brands, considering that they seek to provide the maximum possible benefits at the lowest price. In this sense we see how both terminals have the same screen resolution, although the Nokia 2.2 reaches 5.71 inches compared to the 5.45 inches of the Redmi 7A. It is striking that despite its larger screen size, the Nokia 2.2 is lighter and less thick than the Redmi 7A, with only 153 grams and 9.3 millimeters thick compared to 165 grams and 9.6 millimeters of the Xiaomi terminal.

Comparison of Redmi 7A and Nokia 2.2

Very different processors

When we take a look at the processor, it is curious to see how the Nokia 2.2 mounts the MediaTek Helio A22, the same processor that integrated the Redmi 6A last year. The Redmi 7A for its part has made the leap to a Snapdragon 439, which undoubtedly performs better than the MediaTek chip and its energy consumption is lower, in addition to having four more cores, since we are talking about a Quad-Core and an Octa-Core, although both are manufactured by a 12 nm process. Both computers offer versions with 2 and 3 GB of RAM and 16 or 32 GB of internal storage.

Cameras and battery

In the cameras section we see that both have the same arrangement, that is, a single camera rear and front with the same 13 and 5 megapixels and similar openings. Both terminals have similar connections, although we can highlight that in its design, the Nokia 2.2 has a button dedicated to Google Assistant. If we take a look at the battery, we see that the Redmi 7A has 4,000 mAh versus 3,000 mAh Nokia 2.2, which on paper gives great advantage to the Xiaomi device.

Android 10?

In the aspect of the operating system it is necessary to stop, since although both have Android 9 Pie, it is very likely that the update to Android 10 arrives much earlier than Nokia 2.2. In fact Nokia has already confirmed its initial calendar of updates to the new version of Google’s operating system, and the Nokia 2.2 is among those chosen to be updated during the first months of 2020. The Xiaomi Redmi 7A does not have this update in the near horizon, although with almost complete security you will also receive Android 10.

Prices and conclusion

Price is a prevailing but less defining aspect in this price range. In this case we find the Redmi 7A for about 84 euros in Amazon, Meanwhile he Nokia 2.2 we can buy it for its 99 euros officers. These 15 euros of difference can be important if we seek to save to the maximum, in which case the Redmi 7A is your best option, since you also have ample autonomy guaranteed. On the contrary, the Nokia 2.2 has a more stylized design, button dedicated to Google Assistant and the guarantee of an “early” update to Android 10, in addition to Nokia’s commitment to one more operating system update and three years in security patches.
