Smartphone Nokia 1 Plus

Pure Android. Selfie camera with beautification.

An ordinary state employee, sold under the slogan "Your first smartphone", from the league of devices on the lightweight "OS" Android Go Edition. The substrate for this version of the OS was the 9th generation of the system under the sign of the "green droid". For the sake of accessibility to wide consumer layers, Nokia 1 Plus 8GB was equipped with a simple 5.45-inch diagonal screen with a modest resolution of 960x480 pixels.

Of the trendy tricks, they found the implementation of the proportion 18: 9 in it. In the “iron” part, the smartphone got hold of a MediaTek MT6739WW quad-core processor, coupled with 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of ROM. The lack of space in the internal drive is designed to compensate for the device's support for microSD memory cards up to 128 GB (a flash drive is installed instead of one of the SIM cards). The smartphone is designed to perform simple tasks without pretensions to a high “flight” speed. From the rear, the model is equipped with an 8 MP main camera, while in front of the user, the “eye” of a 5 MP front camera is peeping. Power is supplied to the components of the mobile gadget through energy threads launched from a 2500 mAh rechargeable battery.

heir of ancestors

Despite the touch screen, the Nokia 1 looks like the ideological heir to those legendary old devices from the company that worked for years on end, could open beer and stop a galloping horse. It has a minimum of frills, a durable plastic case, sharpening for basic tasks and a very affordable price tag.

Your first smartphone

Seriously, at $80, its competitors are mostly second-wave Chinese smartphones with dubious prospects and poor quality control. It's not for nothing that Nokia focuses on the fact that pure Android is installed here without any crookedly localized applications, thanks to which Nokia 1 is sold under the slogan under the slogan "Your first smartphone." Yes, and the unity in the title, as it were, hints.

5.45 inch IPS screen

Naturally, in terms of the filling, this is the most simple smartphone from the “to work” category. So, most of the front side is occupied by a 5.45-inch IPS display with a resolution of 960x480 pixels and a modern aspect ratio of 18:9. The display turned out to be so-so, the graininess is large and very striking, especially if you are used to a Full HD picture and above. But, with an eye to the price is quite a. Thanks for not TFT.

Camera with beautification mode

The novelty received an 8-megapixel main camera with autofocus and LED flash. For selfies, the smartphone was equipped with a 5-megapixel front camera with support for the Beautify function to improve portraits. This is usually found in more expensive devices. In addition, the processor supports photo noise reduction at the hardware level. By the way, the frankly low-cost MT6739 for 4 cores, the PowerVR GE8100 video chip and 1 GB of RAM are installed here as a processor. The equipment is spartan, but it is quite suitable for surfing, social networks or reading an e-book.

Spartan set

Of the additional features, there is nothing special to note — there is neither the usual fingerprint scanner, nor fast charging. On the other hand, the smartphone does not look ugly, like many fellow state employees: the corrugated plastic back fits comfortably in the hand and looks good from the side (especially in red), and the “face” of the smartphone stands out somewhat thanks to the Nokia logo in the upper right corner. And the smartphone itself turned out to be unusually compact for the current fashion, the height is only 145 mm.
