Nokia 1 4 Arrives In Europe And The Uk For Less Than 100 90

Nokia’s 1 series serves as the brand’s most modestly-specced but also impressively low-cost Android smartphone range and the 1.4 doesn’t do anything to subvert expectations here. The phone runs on Android Go (as did its predecessors) – the stripped back version of Android designed to run on more modest hardware. Speaking of hardware, the 1.4’s heart – a Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 chip – remains unchanged from last year’s Nokia 1.3, paired with 1GB (or 2GB or 3GB – market dependant) of RAM, 16GB (or 32GB or 64GB – market dependant) of storage and microSD expandability (up to 128GB). Its budget nature means the phone still sports older connection types, for better (like its 3.5mm headphone jack) or worse (microUSB in place of newer USB-C), however, the biggest talking point is the phone’s reworked camera system. Unlike the 1.3, this new entry in the 1 series more obviously embraces the brand’s current Nordic design language; with a circular rear camera module that plays host to two sensors (up from one on the Nokia 1.3). The primary rear 8Mp snapper is this time joined by a secondary 2Mp macro sensor, while a more gradual ‘dewdrop’ notch at the top of the phone’s 6.51in display accommodates a 5Mp front-facing snapper. While the 1.4 runs on the Android 10-based version of Android Go at launch, HMD Global has confirmed that the phone is Android 11-ready and will receive an update in due course. The company’s signature promise of at least three years of security updates looks set to continue on the 1.4 too.
