Could be the best basic smartphone for years.
I'd like to start by saying the reviews by DAZ and EEJAY pretty much have this phone covered.I bought it because I became fed up with the ever increasing size of smartphones and have been looking/waiting for ages for a reasonably small smartphone. I wasn't especially bothered by price, but when I saw this inexpensive Nokia 1, I thought I'd give it a go. I am delighted with it so far. It's about the same size as the HTC Sensation XL (if anyone remembers that one) but lighter.The camera is basic (even in manual mode) and has a dreadfully slow shutter so you have to hold it very steady to get a good photo .....and wait for the click before moving. Forget taking shots of anything in motion, unless you are after blurred images. There is a high definition setting, giving good, circa 3MB images (see uploaded photo taken today). I suggest leaving high def switched on. The zoom seems to be about 4x.The Wi-Fi seems very stable and strong, when testing both at home and on a mobile hub.The Bluetooth pairs easily and works very well. WhatsApp calls both on the phone and via in-car hands-free were high quality.The 8GB memory and 1GB of ram does mean the phone gets slow quicker than higher end phones, so do use the memory expansion available.Battery time has been better than expected so far, despite using Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS simultaneously a lot during today.Overall, I have no regrets with this purchase. The Nokia 1 is now my everyday phone.

I was pleasantly surprised that this came complete with box, battery, manual, earphones so like new. So far it's been fine, I've purchased an additional storage card, a protective screen and wallet. Didn't much like the exterior design of phone it was a little sharp on the edges but now it's in a protective wallet it doesn't matter. Whilst it appears to be one of the smaller phones still available it's not as small as I would personally like - iPhone 5 size or same size as my old HTC Wildfire would suite me better but it seems you can't get phones that small anymore so this is next best thing. I would say this would be an ideal starter/cheap phone for a child/teenager.....although they all seem to need new iPhones these days and this probably wouldn't be good enough for a child! It's good enough for me though - I use it as a phone predominantly but also with Bluetooth headphones for listening to online music sometimes. If little used and put into standby battery will last several days.

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. My specific needs from a phone are;
Texting
WhatsApp
Email
Music streaming
Light web use- news weather, Amazon etc
Phone calls
I don't need mega camera performance, whilst the one provided will not take high quality professional looking photos, it will take more than adequate ’snaps’ perfectly suitable for sharing on social media etc. I don’t play games on my phone or use other high resource dependant apps.
Whilst there are a number of possible phones I could have picked, the Nokia swung it because it is an a
Android One phone, running a slimmed down version of Android Oreo called Android Oreo Go, and it has guaranteed updates. The cost was also a factor. For the price of a top end phone you could buy 8,9 or even 10 or more Nokia 1’s!
Out of the box it was the usual Android setting up experience. Signing in to my google account and waiting for a few updates. Then a couple of hours for it to be charged up. I had to add a couple of apps such as Amazon and Whatsapp.
General usage is absolutely fine, there is a small pause before some apps open but it is one I can live with.
Texting is just as you would expect using Google Messages app.
Whatsapp is again just as you would expect, including sending and receiving pictures and videos.
Email using Gmail Go is like any other Gmail experience.
Bluetooth works; I have it connected to earphones, a speaker and my car, all working great. Music streams and plays without any problems.
Google/Chrome once again work as you’d expect
Calls I have made and received have been perfectly satisfactory.
It is not the most modern looking phone but has a nice solid feel and can be used with one hand and fits in a pocket easily. I get through the day on one charge with moderate use.
A negative is the 8GB storage. I can not understand why Nokia has done this - cost? Surely 16Gb would not have been that costly! After initial setup and apps installed I only had about 4GB left. I had a spare 32Gb sd card that I fitted and formatted as internal storage, which resolved this oversight.
So far, it has done everything I would want from a phone, and as long as you remember it is not a flagship phone, or even a mid-range one. It is a bargain basement one. This could be the phone for you.
It does not have any fancy tricks or fancy features. It does nothing that could be described as being outstanding but, in my opinion, it does nothing terribly either. It just does. As long as you are positive that you can live with the low-spec and understand the limitations of this phone then I would recommend you consider the Nokia 1.

Nice looking phone but terrible OS, phone is completely unusable. Screen is very hard to see in sunlight. Camera slow to open or crashes. Apps can take anywhere up to 40 seconds to open. Phone keeps on switching itself off after a few hours. When I bought it the phone was updating itself for hours and got very hot. It went up to android 11 and I think that is what broke it. This was brand new in the box when I bought it so I used the phone for 3 days thinking it was all in my head but this truly has to be the worst smartphone I have EVER used. Such a pity because it actually looks and feels nice in your hand and the Nokia brand is so good but not this phone. The only good thing about the phone is the signal strength was very good and audio call quality was good. This is when the phone didn’t crash before getting a call.

lo smartphone dopo averlo usato per un po lo trovo davvero ottimo.
Logicamente bisogna capire l'utilizzo che se ne vole fare, se non si hanno grosse pretese questo è il telefono giusto. Forse l'unica pecca che posso trovargli e la memoria interna che poteva essere maggiore.
la spedizione è arrivata nei tempi previsti.
