Coming to the camera, it has 8MP primary + 2MP depth while there is a 5MP selfie shooter. Both the camera can shoot videos up to 720p@30fps.

Considering the price tag, there is nothing to talk about. In short, Nokia C20 Plus doesn’t good camera, Nokia should have been gone with a better sensor and 1080p video resolution.
