Featuring the most advanced camera in the C-series to date, it’s here to give people high-quality photos at exceptional value.  We believe that value should not sacrifice design, so we have included a toughened glass finish usually seen in more premium designs to ensure Nokia C32 looks as good as the pictures it takes.”
