Buying advice for Algeria

Both Nokia 2.1 and Nokia 6.1 are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Nokia 2.1 packs a 4000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Nokia 6.1 reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 16 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
