HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, introduces the Nokia C1 which features a 5.45-inch display built for uninterrupted viewing of videos or games.

Nokia C1, which runs on AndroidTM 9 Pie (Go edition), has fewer pre-installed apps and is designed to optimize storage, meaning users can keep more of their favorite content with them. The Nokia C1 comes with enough internal storage for up to 3,000 songs or up to 24 hours’ worth of videos and can be expanded with a micro SD card to up to 64GB for those that need more. Coming with 3G connectivity and all-day battery life.

“We have designed the Nokia C1 as an affordable 3G alternative for our Filipino consumers offering them a combination of a large 5.45-inch screen and all-day battery life.”

– Charlotte Koa, Senior Business Manager, HMD Global Philippines.

“Also, in a true testimony of Nokia phone quality, we are delighted to offer Nokia C1 consumers a replacement during the warranty period (subject to warranty terms),” Koa said.

Front-facing flash

Users can raise the selfie game with the front-facing flash and 5MP camera, helping them get that perfect shot even after dark. Plus, they can now take and make video calls, be it day or night. Combined with a 5MP rear camera, they can snap memories in the moment. Pointing and shooting stunning photos with the auto-focus rear camera has never been this easy.

Users can also view and edit memories offline with Gallery Go; a light, fast, and offline gallery optimized for your phone. Enjoy one-tap editing and easily relive all the memories with an automatic organization – even offline.

“As consumers in the Philippines look to upgrade and level up from a feature phone to an affordable 3G experience, we wanted to ensure that we offer them a smartphone that offers the Nokia experience of quality, reliability, and ease of use,” said Sancho Chak, General Manager for Hong Kong, Macau, and the Philippines, HMD Global. “The Nokia C1 will deliver to fans level up experiences, enabling them to get them ahead in life.”

Android 9 Pie

Users can tap into new possibilities with Android 9 Pie (Go edition), enabling easy access to YouTube Go, helping you download, enjoy and share videos with limited storage or slower network speeds. This means you can watch your favorite videos offline, in addition to using helpful apps like Google Maps on the Google Play Store.

Android 9 Pie (Go edition) is built leaner, faster, and safer than ever before, so you can go bigger in everything you do. For example, Google Maps Go provides your location, real-time traffic updates, and directions, plus train, bus, and city transit information. You can even search and find phone numbers, addresses, and information about millions of places.
