The Nokia 1 is a seriously exciting phone - even if it doesn't look like it on paper. The low-end hardware and rock-bottom price disguise how important this phone really is, but the software tells the full story. Android Go could transform the entry-level phone market, which still keeps millions of people around the world connected. The speed improvements and general usability tweaks make cheap phones a whole lot less painful to use. It helps that the 1 is an eye-catching candybar of a handset, with a great build and decent camera for the cash, too. Whether it will get South America, Russia and the rest to part with their feature phones remains to be seen, but we think it just might have what it takes to make that happen.

Android Go Edition is finally here and the Nokia 1 offers Oreo in a very cheap phone that’s got a colourful and fun design. The idea here is good, offering more available storage and data saving apps. However, it’s probably not ideal for the UK market where you can get a much better device for not much more. This is especially pertinent as we’re a bit worried about performance, but it could make for a good kids phone. Look out for a full review soon.
