User opinions and reviews

Sort by:

I have to admit, this is not middle range or upper range smartphone. This is lower range just to cover enough.

I will summarize my opinion

The size is compact and solid. Don't expect corning gorilla glas here. The screen just okay but not crisp and clear compare to samsung and iphone.

Minimal bloatware. Just netflix and facebook installed.

Camera is just point and shoot. Don't expect every detail in single picture. Selfie camera just for video call what to expect for 5 mpx only?

Software update is good even this is not enough nowadays.

The rarest thing is the battery is removable. I like it

The price is a bit expensive compare the infinix or tecno at the same range.

Conclusion, still going strong using it, by the way i have 2gb ram and 16GB rom. The main problem there no way to make sd card as internal storage. Sd card just for images and files

      This phone sucks so bad, I am searching the Internet to find where I can warn people. After a short ownership, the charing port becomes loose and the phone get progressively more annoying to charge. These people do not care about quality or reliability. I've spent the whole day fiddling with cables trying to get the thing charged and I still have not gotten past 1%. If you're considering this phone then stop. Don't consider it anymore. Buy something else from a different company.

        Got my MUM a C1 Plus a few years back - Actually on here to find out its production date - the C1 mums got, its only Android 10, and after heavy use by a 90 Year old its got a noticable delay / lag to operate. I got it because of the Auto updates - As a 2021 model the 3 years of auto updates have only filled up the system to 5 Gig. and all up still 8 Gig free.

              The annoying Nokia boot-up jingle. I hate it with a passion. There is no way to switch it off. I've tried everything. I will never buy another Nokia phone again as long as I live.

                  This Nokia c01 plus is so bad that my work money got stuck and it can't function well enough even too do a transfer of Money
                  I have actually lost I think £3.40p that did take me some time too earn by the way
                  Yes Google is also so heavy problems like this happen

                  What is wrong with people it's like when people realize you're income from yours job is rubbish people choose too do triangle them and bully them

                    Unfortunately brand feeling are getting in the way of cold hard business when I buy a phone I do not care about brand name I purely focus on price too performance ratio

                    I want a smartphone too be dirt cheap but last as long as possible
                    It's just mathematics

                    How much do I pay for the phone then I have too work out how long the smartphone will last till it lasts till it needs too be replaced

                      £99 was acceptable price for 2gb modal however Alcatel has much better performance and mediatek does make better chipset based of my performance testing and less problems with software exist which is very important

                      It's crazy because originally when I was the used buy a phone I buy phones purely based on compatibility with software and performance flexibility and reliability and design

                      However I think software license with AndroidGO is playing a big role and with hindsight I probably made a mistake buying Nokia phones as I clearly don't agree with them at all about Google which I deeply dislike and even have a huge security disagreement with

Unisoc SC9863A and Helio A22 are closely matched. Nokia C01 Plus is also cheaper and better built. You should have gotten 2 GB version of Nokia C01 Plus for better performance. But it doesn't matter, if you buy Alcatel your money will still go to parent Nokia, because Alcatel is owned by Nokia.

                            i have used this phone for a little over a year... my opinions:

                            this is a decent-ish low budget phone. it is slow, but put up with daily use. everything about it is pretty slow ngl, but that's all you can expect from a phone at this price.

                            the camera quality isn't very good, so bear in mind if you want to take pictures, this phone is a nono(almost pixely)

                            after a year, the battery has declined and only really lasts for less than 2 hours. as to be expected

                            this phone is literally indestructible. the amount of times i have dropped it flat on its face or on its corner onto concrete w no case and it not even scratching is unbelievable. yk what they say about nokias

                            everything exterior is plastic, and plastic will inevitably scratch at some point

                            pretty big phone, came from a smaller phone beforehand and missed the smaller screen size

                              Still upset about my bad experience from using that smartphone Nokia c01 plus

                              As even basic usage Is real up hill struggle I do hope people don't buy this as it barely works at all
                              Even some websites just don't work or browser close it's self again so much lag and delay
                              This performance problem so much worse than being just sluggish

                              Realistically the 2gb ram version Nokia c01 plus should be just fine as a budget smartphone

                              But the 1gb ram smartphone overpriced it's
                              kinda Just e-waste
                              If it was like 25 pound the price and performance will match at least so it be more forgivable

                              Do note there are some dirt cheap smartphones that can crush this smartphone

                              If you want this Nokia c01 plus don't buy this get the budget Alcatel 1b 2022 instead much better performance low price tag also

                                Am done with this smartphone after trying too use it for a few painful mouths am switching back too my old Nokia 3.1 budget smartphone that was made in 2018

                                This should tell you just how bad this smartphone is

                                It only cost me 50 pound new on sale
                                design removable battery SD card slot bezels headphone jack etc

                                The deal breaker is garbage performance main reason too avoid

                                The problems is even basic tasks like the browser the browser keeps getting force closed because 1gb ram is not enough even for garbage AndroidGo software that's made for low end smartphones

                                The incompatibly problems with unisoc processor with the very few apps that will run on a potato smartphone and power hungry processor eating battery life only makes things worse

                                1gb ram = AVOID GARBAGE PERFORMANCE
                                not even good enough for basic usage

                                  Should be a tenner!
                                  It has no memory, not enough to play my games.
                                  I've looked where is says indeed a memory card and I can't find it?
                                  It's basic yes,but certainly not much use for the Internet

                                    It's possible the emmc storage just more modern and better in budget phones of today and probably the ram paired with the processor

                                    Am not sure why a Samsung galaxy S5 have them problems did it always have them or develop them over time I have heard Samsung phones have a lot of blootware
                                    My yotaphone 2 have slowed down a lot over the years

                                    Storage speed and storage endurance is one of them specs they don't tell you on a spec sheet about your smartphone

                                    One of the most important parts storage is yet no info
                                    No read write speeds
                                    No endurance rating
                                    Only how much overall storage

                                    So people are kinda buying there smartphones without knowing what there really going to get

                                      I think Snapdragon 800 had file storage issues, maybe that's why the media storage crashes on galaxy s5. Not sure about the other models though.
                                      Also I had no idea that ex-Nokia engineers were part of Yota. That's quite interesting!

                                        I brought It many years ago

                                        It a flagship smartphone from 2014
                                        The Snapdragon 800 is a flagship Snapdragon processor

                                        At the time it was able play any and all games that where out of it's time period and play them smoothly at that but it does get real hot

                                        But today's games are have become so resource and ram hungry and they call themselves well optimized yet they're not at all .
                                        game developers are too blame for this problem

                                        Old high end Snapdragon processors do have a tendency to out class and out match budget smartphones with mediatek processors in gaming

                                        I did find the new budget Nokia phones do have much faster loading times maybe there storage is faster

                                        Yotaphones are made by ex Nokia engineers who used too make Nokia Lumia phones

                                        I choose the yotaphone 2 instead of a Nokia Lumia 930
