Minu, 20 Jul 2022I'll have to test a Unisoc device to confirm if it... moreI needed a dual sim phone
I have 2 phone numbers but only 1 sim card slot it was so impractical
My SIM cards ended up in different phones it was a real pain
I have gotten a few phones over the years
I have a collection of smartphones
The Nokia 3.1 phones can at least run light games
My old yotaphone 2 phones can also game
They have the impressive Snapdragon 800/801 processor inside of them sadly are 32bit unfortunately
I also have a reviewed them
Still even with everything closed in the background gaming on 2gb ram phones is really rough games sometimes close themselves or low ram struggles stuttering and freezing often and game just not running smoothly at all
The Nokia c01 plus is dual sim my only deal SIM phone
It's possible I might be able buy again later
I would have too import the phone too the UK in order to get the 2gb ram version but it cost me a lot
About the unisoc processor I would like to see this theory tested about heat about ram around ram amount
It's possible different phones will also overheat or less then others
I do think Snapdragon or mediatek processors tend too be better there so much more refined and efficient
They have been around for a long time and know how to handle any task there given

I think it's better if you use this as an emergency and extra phone instead of a main phone, just in case when you can't access the 3.1. Use the 3.1 for gaming and main phone purposes.
Agree about the existence of 1GB RAM phones, considering how large demands are today for higher tech specs and not optimizing the apps for lower end phones. It would be better for Nokia to make the C100 and C200 available for worldwide purchase to avoid carrier restrictions and bloatware.

Minu, 19 Jul 2022Maybe the 1GB of RAM is the culprit of heatingEven so the Nokia c01 plus does get hot I have not noticed any slow down or throttling
I don't know why that is
But I think It is possible the built-in protections to provent the processor from getting dangerously hot too the point it might damage it's self or others parts inside the phone might be missing from unisoc processors
I could be wrong it might be just fine and save heat level still battery does drain fast unless power saver is used
but noone is doing in depth testing of performance of budget smartphones and performance and finding out performance stats like average performance peak performance minimum performance
Gaming performance FPS in games loading times
stability testing also different games might favours different architecture or be more demanding in different ways to each other some like single core more others may want multi core
Checking heat levels and when does a phone thottle and slow down the processor
Multi tasking testing
At best all what can be find is just a basic benchmark scores that can be miss leading as they don't tell the full story and real would usages is very different too a benchmark

Minu, 19 Jul 2022Maybe the 1GB of RAM is the culprit of heatingThe unisoc processor is very inefficient with battery and it does get hot I don't think the amount of ram will change that
The 1gb of ram is not even good enough for basic usage
The ram being at max usage most the time even on
AndroidGo has made it clear too me there is no place for 1gb ram phones in 2022 even on ultra budget phones
This phone turned out too be a real lemon because of performance 1gb ram is not acceptable Nokia
Am disappointed that manufacturers are still making phones with 1gb of ram as they have no place in 2022
Adding insult too injury is ram is a very cheap part so there no reason for such low ram making 1gb phones hurting budget buyers unnecessary with performance problems based around ram
A 2gb phone or 3gb phone can easily be made dirt cheap
Just look at the Nokia c100 for example or the TCL A3

Just got this smartphone
I don't pay much for it or have high expectations though I still feel a bit let down by the poor hardware spec
(55 pound brand new) but everything else was good
I can say this smartphone only suitable if you have basic needs and can't afford any better and know what you are getting your self into bare minimum 2gb device 4gb for reasonable general use device
This really isn't suitable for anyone unless you are ok with sub standard performance reason the ram bottleneck is a problem in my opinion there is no place for 1gb ram on smartphones in 2022
Thank goodness this runs AndroidGo that turned out to be ready good light Android os but as for specs as it barely has good enough specs too even use a browser or read email and no among us don't play on this either
Don't get me wrong it's not slow it's that the ram bandwidth is where the problem ls so you have too self manage how much you have open at a time and only someone who knows about technology will be able make the most of it
Don't be fooled by the high benchmark scores of the unisoc processor this thing runs hot is not as powerful as it seems and I don't think it handles battery well either though the battery life is the least of your worries and should be fine just need use power saver I think
Plus it has removeable battery
The phone charger will slow so keep this in mind changing over night might be a good idea or some other time you leave it changing long time
However the slow changer is healthy for your battery too stay in good condition for a long time
I can say I can still anything I like on this smartphone the Android os is good the software ok you can use the Google app store or alternative app stores the software is flexible and light
You have standard button navigation and notification at top and app drawer at bottom easy too use and clean and mostly stock other then my one complaint
My complaint is
Unfortunate the FB lite spyware was per installed and can't be uninstalled just a touch of disgusting blootware crapware using my storage that I payed for on my phone but that's all
Mad over this aside
Camera was impressed me a lot was out standing experience
The 720p screen was fine the phone build plastic it's fine feels premium too me
I like the bezel design removable battery and size of the smartphone
Strengths
camera 720p screen plastic build battery speakers
slow charging is a strength not weakness
Software Android version
Given the price the processor has very strong performance does not freeze up
Weakness
ram & storage FB lite spyware installed
Gaming multi tasking overpriced phone
1gb ram equal apps get forcefully closed when they run out of ram same for games you playing
In my opinion should cost 40~45 pound 1gb let's say 75~90 pound for 2gb version hard to judge
I do hope next year's c01 plus second edition fix the ram bandwidth problem then this will be a great smartphone
3gb or 4gb ram plus more storage will make amazing budget smartphone Nokia
If you willing to forgive the hardware specs you might be fine and like this smartphone the software is great

1) Heavier than other 5.45" phone,
2) It doesn't support "Schedule Power On/Off".
3) Camera capture small text very blurred because no auto-focus. Also difficult to capture small QR Code.
Don't buy it.

If you want to play online games on this phone don't bother. It struggles loading a advert, sometimes it doesn't load at all send you back to home screen. I had a 3g about 3 years ago had better performance than this phone it's that bad it will do for now watch movies and stuff. Bought a 125g SD card for what all my game data i'am raging inside.

nokia c01plus is the smallest of all android phones in nokia however all phones of this company are very good looking. it will be known for smart android. features but a small battery life nokia should think about weight gain of it when released
