The Nokia 1 goes above and beyond what you'd ordinarily expect from a bottom-end, disposable phone like it. Sure, the camera may as well not be there, the battery life leaves something to be desired and the seams occasionally show - but, taken as a showpi...

The Nokia 1 is a $149 phone aimed at the unlocked, pre-paid sim market. Its quality and heritage alone make it a good buy. But more than that. With the right use case it is more than fit for purpose.I admit to being a little perplexed at how to review...

I'm a sucker for punishment. I really am. In the era of smartphones that are more powerful than computers, I decided to settle for less. Much less. Back to basics in fact. Only I'm not sure what the definition of “basic” is anymore. You see, I agreed to r...

Selling for as little as $99 at Harvey Norman, and normally priced at $149, the Nokia 1 is a feature phone masquerading as a smart phone, but if that's all you need, it "works".If you just need a phone to make calls and send text messages, Nokia has its 3...

Over the years at Ausdroid we've reviewed every Android (and even one Windows) phone we can get our hands on. As a whole, we love Android phones, but we all started our mobile lives a long time before Android was even a thing. For me my early mobile histo...

With much less power than the latest flagship phones, but smart software that knows how to counteract that, the Nokia 1 is the first sub-$200 smartphone I've used that hasn't made me want to throw it into a lake.The unassuming $150 plastic handset comes...

Although many eyes are on new flagship phones at MWC 2018 like the Galaxy S9, some of the budget releases are interesting. As expected, the first wave of Android Go phones was unveiled and we've been hands-on with the Nokia 1. Only beaten by Alcatel for...
Android Go Edition is finally here and the Nokia 1 offers Oreo in a very cheap phone that's got a colourful and fun design. The idea here is good, offering more available storage and data saving apps.However, it's probably not ideal for the UK market wher...

Nokia's phalanx of smartphone launches covers the full gamut of the smartphone spectrum this MWC, from the rarefied air of the glass-clad Nokia 8 Sirocco to the retro charms of this year's 1990s throwback – the Nokia 8110 but it's the firm's more reasonab...
With the Nokia 1, it's the price and the fact that it runs Android Go that's the real attraction. While the screen, camera and core specifications are very basic, they do seem to work on the phone without being horribly slow.The issue for the Nokia 1, how...

The Nokia 1 isn't a phone that's going to grab the headlines at MWC 2018 this year, but it could well take the developing world by storm with its bargain basement price tag and promise of decent performance from a super cheap smartphone.It packs in a non-...

A bargain basement Android phone can usually save you a wedge of cash over a whizz-bang flagship - but you have to put up with compromised performance. Or at least, you did. Google has finally gotten its act together and adapted Android for low-power hard...
The Nokia 1 is a seriously exciting phone - even if it doesn't look like it on paper. The low-end hardware and rock-bottom price disguise how important this phone really is, but the software tells the full story. Android Go could transform the entry-leve...

Over the past year or two, HMD Global has ushered a revival of the Nokia brand with stock Android software under the hood. But perhaps none of the smartphones it has released has been more reminiscent of the Nokia of yore than this Nokia 1 — a device that...
At less than $100 (depending on your currency), the Nokia 1 can do a lot more than I thought would be possible, The plastic housing can easily get scratched, but the rest of this phone is built like a tank. I wouldn't be worried if it flew a few meters of...
Compared to another Android Go device, the Alcatel 1X, the Nokia 1 seems overpriced for what you get. There's no fingerprint scanner, the storage is 8GB instead of 16GB, the display isn't 18:9, and the cameras are 5MP/2MP instead of 8MP/5MP. HMD should ha...
