HMD Global has been quite consistent with releasing phones that cut across all price segments – from feature phones to budget phones to mid-rangers and, of course, flagship models. The Finnish company has just announced the Nokia C1 Plus, an entry-level model that takes over from the Nokia C1 which was launched in 2019 as the cheapest Nokia smartphone. The Nokia C2 was actually launched as a 4G successor to the Nokia C1. The ‘Plus’ variant arrives with upgraded hardware and software.

The Nokia C1 Plus arrives as the cheapest 4G phone and it features a 5.45-inch HD+ in-cell display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The device has an all-around solid polycarbonate body to protect from accidental drops, which Nokia Mobile claims was tested for over 50 tests.

The phone runs on Android 10 Go with lighter apps and less bloatware to give you more storage space, which can hold up to 3000 songs or 13 hours of HD video.  For photography, the device packs a 5MP selfie camera with HDR imaging. The front camera also supports facial recognition and has a dedicated front flash at the side. At the rear aspect, there is also a single 5MP camera with HDR imaging and flash on the back as well.

Under the hood, the Nokia C1 Plus crams a 2500 mAh battery, which can power the device for a whole day. It charges via a 5V/1A-rated charger. The device is powered by an unknown 1.4 GHz quad-core processor paired with 1 GB RAM and there is 16GB of internal storage onboard which can be expanded via a microSD card slot for up to 128 GB. The Nokia C1 Plus doesn’t have a dedicated Google Assistant button like its predecessors.

HMD Global hinted via a press release that the Nokia C1 Plus will be launched for sale later this month and is priced at €69. The phone is available in Red and Blue.
