Nokia 1 Plus

The Nokia 1 Plus is a successor to the original Nokia 1. Nokia shared that their original Nokia 1 was the best-selling Android Go smartphone.

The Nokia 1 Plus is a wallet-friendly phone with a removable back cover. You can change up the color with replacement covers and Nokia has made these with a "Nano 3D texture" that adds a nice grip as well as a stylish touch.

Since the cover is replaceable, the 2,500 mAh battery is also removable. On the right side are the power and volume keys while the bottom houses a microUSB port for charging.

The speaker port is on the back of the phone along with the 8MP main camera and single-LED flash. At the top is a 3.5 mm headphone jack and since the back cover is removable, there is no need for an actual SIM "tray".

On the front, there's a 4.5" IPS LCD display with a tall 18:9 aspect ratio. As you can imagine, the screen doesn't have the best viewing angles and you can even see a bit of blurring when scrolling text.

Above the display is a 5MP selfie camera and Nokia's branding is in the upper bezel as well.

The Nokia 1 Plus comes preloaded with Android 9 Pie, but the Go Edition. This version of Android comes with leaner versions of the stock Google apps which also consume minimal data and offers more usable storage out of the box. The Nokia 1 Plus comes in either 8GB or 16GB storage options, both of which have 1GB of RAM onboard.

The Nokia 1 Plus will come in black, red, or blue covers. The 8GB variant will retail for $89 while the 16GB will retail for $99.

Next up is a stylish new feature phone with the bare essentials needed to communicate online in 2019.

Next up, let's take a look at the Nokia 3.2. It has a slightly larger display than the 6.0-inch one on the Nokia 3.1 Plus.

I love the phone but it's sad that when I want to record a conversation it allows the other end receiver to know I want to start recording. Wtf who does that what then is the essence of making a record if it's not for personal use. 🤨
