Well for its price it is the bare minimum, are there better picks? Yeah but it gets the job done unless Nokia still has slow AF software.

I wasn't using anything fancy before this, but this phone is much slower than the basic Samsungs and similar which I was using before. Inexpensive but the frustration level is very high.

Just got one of these on sale for $29.99 at target, total wireless carrier. Not intending on activating it on there though, not sure if it’s locked. A couple things:
Battery is 3000mah (typical), but 2920mah rated.
No updates out of the box for the OS, but plenty for apps.
Phone self installs several apps as part of setup in the background (several crappy games and TikTok, which I promptly uninstalled.
Only bloatware I see on it are Facebook, and some that I can’t tell if they’re part of stock Android 12 (I don’t normally use android so idk what’s in a stock rom). Disabled several of these and it works fine still.
It is VERY slow to charge, only being able to charge at 5 watts as far as I can tell, which will take about 5 hours.
Face unlock seems to work well, but the setup was a little cumbersome, not like Face ID on iOS. A fingerprint reader would be better.
That’s all I can find for now, will update if I can activate it on a different carrier.

Really disappointed that the C100 is not available in the UK. It feels like a cartel that no manufacturer offers a phone with less than a 6.5" display and full Android in the UK. These 6.5" phones are too big to keep easily in a pocket.
The C100 looks like a really decent effort at a reasonably sized phone with full Android. Please, Nokia, reconsider and introduce it in the UK!

The Nokia c100 would most likely be similar level of stock android software
Though I have seen worse on other people's phones from different brands there not even running stock android they have custom Fancy ul and skin's and often unwanted apps
And are missing basic function like a app draw being removed and everything in wrong place and modified in some weird way
My Nokia 3.1 is 100% bloatware free and is the gold standard for stock android software
I much dislike the task of having too clean a smartphone of apps or missing basic function like app draw

My previous Samsung had Microsoft, Google, Hancom apps and even the original Facebook app (which was close to 1.5GB when I retired my older phone) but the app storage stayed untouched in the tiny storage even if they were disabled. And the worst part is that there was only 700MB as free storage in it!!!
Please check and tell me if it has only 4kb reserved for fb lite 😄👍

I did a full review of it on its page
I regret it though it don't meet my needs I wish I got the 2gb modal that am really Tempted by
1gb ram turned into my only problem with it
1gb ram is just no go for me I leaned
Android-Go turned out be a really good os like Android-One its a favorite is mine also
Not sure what I will do
next year Nokia might release a 3gb or 4gb Nokia c01 plus second edition so I don't want too completely break the bank on this smartphone if new modal comes out with twice the specs for a lower price
Though I will have too buy the phone again when I saved up money pay the price premium or wait till next year
Live and learn value for money not always the best if it can't meet your needs
Always buy a step up from what you think you will need

I tried doing a factory reset, and that had no effect. Straight out of the box it is extremely slow. Slow to answer calls, slow to take a picture, slow to enlarge the screen when you tap on it three times. I've had several very cheap phones, and every one of them has been significantly faster than this one. Too bad. My very first non-smart phone with a Nokia way back when cell phones first became popular, so the Nokia brand has nostalgia for me. Not anymore. Buyer beware.

About the Nokia c01 plus there is too options
2gb ram / but 16gb storage
Or
1gb ram / but with 32gb storage
In the UK can't the best version
Just why :(
The Nokia 1gb / 16gb version is half the price or even cheaper like a third of the price
And does go on sale so it looks very attractive there is a lot too like about it
The UK market is crazy am rather upset with my opinions I don't know if a SD card will fix app storage problem for my Nokia 3.1
The Nokia g serles do sometimes go on sale
Though I be stitching my budget for a massive smartphone pay extra for a smartphone
I pay extra for notch and none removable battery. :(
And tablet sized smartphone
It's like they take everything away from you for paying more but rewards you for paying less

Nokia C series phones get more security updates compared to all other Android phones but no software upgrades since they are low end. The hole punch in the 3.4 is more tolerable compared to apple notches imho. Also check out the Nokia G10/G20/G11 Plus if they fit in your budget as well

I wish I was just able too buy the upgraded Nokia 3.1 with 3gb ram & 32 gb storage :( sold out everywhere
The Nokia c3 is a bit over budget had android 10 like my Nokia 3.1
I would be looking at the upgraded 2gb Nokia co1 plus also with android 11 at this point
That's great androidGo support sideloading
But lack of android updates always dilemmas
I think lower res screen would in fact be better suited for budget smartphone it's less demanding too run then a higher res screen and better for gaming
The other Nokia smartphone would be hard to find or rather expensive also there massive
I can find Nokia c1 or 1 plus cheap though the specs don't look so good at all

Since you have the Nokia 3.1, you can go for the Nokia 3.4 if it fits your budget or the Nokia C3 (if you don't mind the lower resolution cameras and not getting software upgrades). And since Snapdragon 460 is a rebranded 662, it would be much better in gaming. Or the slightly older 6.2/7.2 is a better option with a great display if content consumption is your thing

It looks OK for me
There is a few versions of this smartphone
The cheap one is 16gb storage/ 1 GB ram that is affordable I can find it many places too buy from new
I do game so the 1gb ram would be problematic
Will androidGo be a good thing or not ?
I rather the OS as light as possible and too use minimum possible of my ram & storage
I do need use the Google app store
But I use alternative app stores as well I need I use uptodown app store & aptoide app store as well
I sideload a lot of stuff
Can you sideload apps on androidGo ?
I gotten into games like polywar mobile legions doom GTA vice city GTA 3 nes & saga games etc
I would play genshon impact if only it didn't have crazy system requirements :(
I own the Nokia 3.1 but the 3gb ram/32gb storage modal was sold out so I have the 16 storage with 2gb ram wanted the better version
My main problem is the OS takes up like 14gb of storage after all updates are finished android 8 upgraded too android 10 fixed all bugs added better multi tasking
So I only have 2gb storage free too play with for games
Ran usage the os is better then any other smartphone I used but still android OS is always using ram in the background just to function
I have 300mb free ram
