On paper, the Nokia 1.3 looks like an absolute bargain but there's one big issue that means it's very hard to recommend

Nokia 1.3: Cheap, cheerful and surprisingly competent, the Nokia 1.3 is cracking value for money

Cheaper than cheap; Bright; vibrant display; Sturdy build materials

Battery life isn’t great; Sluggish performance

Most aspects of the Nokia 1.3 remind you that this is a very affordable phone – the performance, the design, the camera quality – but as long as you're sticking to the basics, it's a cost vs benefits balance that we think will appeal to a certain number of people.

Android One software; Very cheap indeed; Solid build quality

Slow performance; Weak camera; Awkward battery fitting

The Nokia 1.3 is a Snapdragon running smartphone, but this does not have one of the high end Snapdragon CPUs, rather it runs on a lower-end Qualcomm SD 215 which should be capable of handling day to day usage.

I like the battery size which gives more time during a long day! No fuss or worries.

Bought this phone whilst mine was being repaired great little back up has all the features I needed whilst my expensive phone was in repairs still using as mine is gone for 6 weeks excellent value

Love this phone,as someone new to smartphones it's been very easy to get going with all the features,camera's pretty good at this price,happy with battery life too.Delivery info and service was on time was on time,overall delighted

Have had the phone for 2 months now. Be a little worried that a phone for less than a thousand kronor would suffice. Always feel like phones are always going to be so expensive and can be so amazing. But I think you get amazing phone for the money.

While HMDs attempts to re-enter the premium space with the Nokia have yielded mixed results, their broader efforts to re-establish Nokia as a solid value-for-money brand in the mid-tier and budget spaces have panned out surprisingly well.

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.

Snazzy feel; Consistent performance;

Lackluster camera; Limited storage;

Nokia 1 Review. I have been using the Nokia 1 for a few days now, I initially chose the Nokia 1 as I was in the market for a simple and basic phone. I had considered using a feature phone but wanted/needed a few more features such as email, WhatsApp and internet for streaming music.
