Who doesn’t want to get the most of his Android device..?!

In this post, we will show you how to root Nokia 2.3.

Nokia 2.3 is an impressive smartphone primarily designed for budget segment users. It packs a 6.2-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1520 pixels. Nokia 2.3 runs on the latest Android v9.0 pie out of the box. It runs on MediaTek Helio A22 chipset and comes with 2 GB of RAM. The weight of the device is a little heavy i.e. 183 grams since it rocks a massive 4000 mAh battery.

As far as cameras are concerned, Nokia 2.3 has a dual-camera setup at the back. With 13 + 2 MP camera sensors for portrait photos. For selfie lovers, it has got a 5MP camera. Nokia 2.3 comes with all sorts of connectivity options including Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, 4G and VoLTE facilities. However, the device is not officially rated to be splashproof or waterproof by any means.

We will use the Magisk by patching the stock boot image and flash that to your boot partition. All you need to do is download the patched image file from Magisk Manager and flash it.

Mostly uninitiated people compare rooting with hacking which is not correct. The purpose in both contexts is quite different. Hacking is more like breaking into someone’s else system illegally, whereas rooting is mostly done by the owner of an Android device to gain superuser advantages of the device.
