Design and Display
The Nokia C01 Plus sports a compact 5.45-inch HD+ panel with a 720×1440 pixel resolution, delivering crisp visuals for everyday tasks like browsing and streaming. The chassis is built from polycarbonate with a metal alloy inner frame, striking a balance between durability and light weight at just 157 grams.
Performance and Software
Under the hood, the phone runs on the Unisoc SC9863a octa-core chip clocked at 1.6GHz. Combined with Android 11 Go Edition, this configuration is optimised to keep apps running smoothly on devices with limited RAM. The 2GB of RAM pairs with 16GB of onboard storage, which can be expanded up to 128GB using a microSD card — useful for users who store photos, music, or offline videos.
HMD Global promises two years of security updates for the Nokia C01 Plus, which is a notable commitment at this price point and keeps the device safer for longer.
Camera Performance
Photography is handled by a 5-megapixel rear camera with HDR support and an LED flash. The selfie shooter is a 2-megapixel lens, also accompanied by an LED flash — an uncommon feature at this price tier that helps with low-light portraits. Both cameras are positioned to cover the basic photo and video needs of first-time smartphone users.
Battery Life
The Nokia C01 Plus houses a 3000mAh battery that HMD Global claims can last a full day on a single charge with moderate usage. Combined with the energy-efficient Android Go platform, day-long battery life is a realistic expectation for light to moderate users.
