Nokia 8 Sirocco, 7 Plus, and 8110 4G hands-on review

Nokia is starting its second year as a new-look Android maker but it already has a big portfolio to build on and a solid market position to build from. More importantly it has a great relationship with Google which has enabled Nokia to supply its...

Nokia 1 Smartphone Review

Little number 1. The Nokia 1 is the entry-level model into the world of smartphones: under 100 Euros (~$115), a small format, and even a replaceable battery. Find out in this review whether the Nokia 1 is good enough for everyday use.

removable battery ; long battery life ; swappable back covers ; affordable price ; lean OS ; many LTE bands ; decent GPS ; high contrast and color accurate display ; dual-SIM ; dedicated microSD card slot

issues with PC data transfer ; not all microSD cards are compatible ; frequent noticeable stutters ; slightly delayed reaction to inputs

What can you expect from a smartphone that costs less than 100 Euros (~$115)? The Nokia 1 does not offer world-beating performance, but Nokia has produced a smartphone that does well for the money. The Nokia 1 is for those that have low demands from a...

Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 Mesh Router

Solid throughput performance. Easy to install. Supports wired backhaul.

Limited mobile app settings and parental controls. Lacks anti-malware tools.

The Nokia WiFi Beacon 1 Mesh Router is a three-piece mesh system that delivers reasonably fast throughput, but it's missing some of the features we've come to expect in a whole-home Wi-Fi system.

Nokia 1: Android Go and weak hardware still doesn't cut it | AndroidPIT

Tight storage, small hardware, and an even narrower budget: Nevertheless, the Nokia 1 wants to impress with Android Go. Our test shows that the Nokia 1 quickly reaches its limits.

Android Go alone doesn't save the weak hardware of the Nokia 1. Short delays regularly interfere with operation, especially when the device wakes up from standby and the keyboard starts up. For fractions of a second, it looks as if the smartphone has...

Nokia 1 review

A bargain basement Android phone that actually works

Super cheap ; Android Go works with lesser specs

Slow load times ; Design is uninspired

The Nokia 1 offers something rather special - a solid Android smartphone experience for a feature phone price. That's not easy to come by these days.

Nokia 1 review: Robust, reliable and dirt-cheap

Snazzy feel ; Consistent performance

Lackluster camera ; Limited storage

It turns out that HMD can still manage to make a $149 Nokia device like this one somewhat-compelling, even when you consider the inevitable wrinkles and caveats in play.

Nokia 1 Plus hands-on review: Nokia’s new budget smartphone costs less than £100

A fraction of the price of this year's flagships, is the Nokia 1 Plus worthy of a spot in your pocket?

It might not be as flashy as its flagship counterparts, and it likely won’t be drawing the same admiring glances on the morning commute, but the Nokia 1 Plus should do things rather well when it launches in March.

Nokia 1 review: Hands on with the cheap phone that wants to be your first smartphone

At MWC 2018, Nokia launched the Nokia 1, a dirt-cheap smartphone running a new low-powered version of Android

The Nokia 1 is certainly an interesting prospect. It’s not really a smartphone for you and me, but that's not who it's designed for. This could be the phone to persuade a generation of phone users that haven’t yet made the jump to smartphones, and...
