HMD Global, with its Nokia brand, is one of the only traditional companies that still offers Android Go smartphones. Further expanding its line is the latest Nokia 1.4, which brings an apparently decent experience without costing an arm and a leg.
The Nokia 1.4 is a basic smartphone, and a quick look inside makes it quite obvious. It is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 215 SoC, which is paired with up to 3 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB of storage. Storage can be expanded using a microSD card.
The HD + screen measures 6.51 inches and should offer a decent media consumption experience. As it is an economical phone, there are no holes here. Instead, it has a water drop notch that houses the 5MP selfie camera. The rear camera setup consists of an 8MP and 2MP macro, and the Camera Go app allows you to take portraits and HDR images with it.
Nokia 1.4 runs on Android 10 Go Edition, which is tailored for entry-level hardware. Unfortunately, since most Nokia budget phones usually just get an Android update, we’ll be a little surprised if the phone gets Android 12 in the future. The company does guarantee three years of security updates, however.
The basic phone costs € 99 and will be available “globally” from 3 February.
