Design

Out of the four, Micromax In 2C is the slimmest at 8.6mm but Nokia C12 is the lightest at 177.4g. All of them are plastic-made and have a waterdrop notch front. They look different only because of the difference in their rear design, including the back camera panel’s look.

All of their displays are IPS LCD in nature and offer HD+ resolution. Nokia hasn’t revealed the supported brightness levels while the rest hits at least 400 nits of luminance. 

Camera

All phones sport an 8MP rear camera and a 5MP front camera.
