at the time Too the Nokia 3.1
The Nokia 3.1
Nokia c01 plus
The Samsung j3 only a plastic phone it's self and a old one at that it does have a OLED screen though that is very premium but only 720p panel
But yeah
When I got the Nokia 3.1 everyone was like wow it doesn't even support feature find on budget phones from last year ago from other brands
Nokia just seen as cheap quality when people look at them or try too use them just feel so cheap and low end
They give impression of cheap and cheerful

Minu, 28 Feb 2023You'll have to disassemble the phone to see the alumin... moreAm not an expert
On phone teardowns
disassemble the phone to see the aluminum frame, it's not an external frame
Nokia c01 plus
I take the back off just clips off
Can change battery's easily
The phone just feels like cheap plastic there no
external frame made of aluminum
The back cover act as the external plastic frame that's just clips of underneath is just the phone internals
So the back cover basically is the frame when it's taken
Off the phone no frame at all just screen on a body stuck onto it
All just cheap plastic everything in the open
Changing port at top 2 sim card slots
It's all just cheaply made
There is few screws I didn't have the tools too undo
So I can only do so much plastic around the sides of the phone and on inside
The only metal I could find was the sim card tray inside the phone as it as be opened up change a sim card
Not really sure what you was expecting from budget Nokia Phone

Very wide bezels for this phone. Then phone size is not 5.45 inch it should be 5.90 inch. because of the bezel size.
Nokia 1.3 design is awesome.

It's actually better suited for the hardware
Often low resolution screen the 540p or 480p TFT LCD screen are easier on the hardware
Low resolution screen Really do have a place on budget phones
Just kinda good match for soc
Often better optimisation then Nokia just because os choice the older os with lower screen resolution
Nokia phones always most laggy phones
Really frustrating how sluggish devices made by Nokia are as they run so much worse than you think
Battery life is good but trying use them
Just lag then ok but sooner or later they freeze up
The Nokia c01 plus is so slow I have jump start it with it's changer just for it boot up the os on Androidgo otherwise it's not even able power on it's own
That was a painful day when I thought if I just turn it on or off I get it unfreeze till got home
It had 70%/60% battery the minute it turned on as it had nearly full charge
It definitely had battery life

The Nokia 3.1 does definitely have a aluminium frame
I remember when I first got the Nokia 3.1 first thing we noticed was gives of the impression of being very cheap and cheerful
The thing we was surprised by is it doesn't say when it's changing or not someone we come expected from cheaper budget phones from 5 years ago
Nokia c01 plus
It feels cheaply made and squishy
It looks and feels more budget than it is
The software feels cheap as well just Nokia doesn't reflect premium in any way shape or form
Even the changing port at the top of Nokia c01 plus just like true ultra budget phone
They won't brought for there quality by me price was the main selling point too them
Nokia is cheapest budget phones in the UK that can be found new with bezel screen The low asking price is reason I buy them
disassemble them
Possibly in future when battery change is needed
I can't find any metal in Nokia c01 plus
That's got a removable battery not anything premium about it
I could of gotten a more premium built phone but settled with cheap at the time
I just preferd the cheapest option available that turned out too be Nokia

you have to suffer, 26 Feb 2023the chipset is the culprit.
i assume this uses mt6737 chip... moreThis Nokia c02 phone most likely will be directly competing with the Alcatel 2022 in the UK
The mediatek a22 in the Alcatel 2022 is a lot more powerful than mtk 6737
The a22 has actually won a compassion
It beats the mt6750 also
This doesn't reflect how good the a22 chipset is
But just how bad the others really are

mt6737 chipset
It's a soc that's very common in generic phones
Many of the fake clones use this mediatek processor
It was a old mid range soc
Sure is very low end soc today though
Running up-to-date os on this device
The no-name clone phones might actually be smoother than this just because android 6 actually belong on this mediatek mt6737 soc
But hmd global put the Nokia brand name on it
If £50 phone I guess it's ok
The ram & storage amount is good keeping price point in mind
If selling for just £50
But I got a Nokia 3.1 new for that price a year ago with nearly twice the performance on benchmarks have mt6750 but is 16rom/2ram
So yeah

If it's £50 I think it's good phone
But if it costs £100 it's bad
Basically
At least 2gb ram is usable for the basics
But sluggish

Brudder, 24 Feb 2023I am sorry friend but I can only answer that I agree what o... moreno technical skill and knowledge?? seriously?? how would you tolerate basic needs with 1.4ghz quad core cpu and 32gb storage???!! 5mp rear camera in 2023 is disgustang. imagine if its priced at 130 euros. wouldnt be worth it at all. would easily beat this by galaxy a03..
this would be probably useful for a door stopper. or even better, external webcam.

I really hope gsmsmena
does a review of this phone
Some of the most valuable buying advice comes from reviews of phones like there
Seeing input on actual budget phones you're topical average person can actually afford
In theory this phone should be ok
32/2 is usable? With Androidgo edition?
The 1gb ram capacity phones are basically e-waste even androidgo can't save them
Nokia c01 plus=crap
however this has 2gb ram capacity so does good software optimization finally come into play with more usable hardware specs??
I hope people actually give genuine reviews of the user experience on them as phones like there's get a lot of interest from buying who don't know how good or bad they are
