“The Nokia C1 was extremely successful in its mission to bring a great smartphone experience and make that first step to a smartphone that is truly accessible to all. With next-generation connectivity already out there, operators across the world are optimising their offerings, and 4G is being adapted as the new baseline, leaving many 2G and 3G markets vulnerable to uncertainty. With the new Nokia C1 Plus, we offer reassurance that your new smartphone will go the distance and certainty that you can trust it to connect anywhere.

Offering trust and reliability is what a Nokia smartphone is known for. Our manufacturing standards that give our phones the durability they are synonymous with are amongst some of the toughest in the world, and with the Nokia C1 Plus, you can really feel it. In a true testimony to this quality, our latest Android (Go edition) smartphone comes with a powerful front-facing flash, a large, crisp screen and HDR imaging in a durable, stylish package with an all-day battery. Building on the success of its predecessors with 4G, the Nokia C1 Plus takes full advantage of what Android 10 (Go edition) can offer, making it our lowest-cost 4G smartphone yet.”
