HMD Global has announced that the Nokia 1 smartphone is now available to purchase in South Africa.<\/p>\n

In a statement released by the group on Wednesday (11 April), HMD Global said that the phone will run on Android Oreo (Go edition), and features a quad-core processor, front and rear cameras, and 4G connectivity.<\/p>\n

It will be available in Warm Red and Dark Blue, and buyers can also change the style of their phone using the Xpress-on covers which come in a range of vibrant colours.<\/p>\n

“With fewer pre-installed and much lighter apps on Android Oreo (Go edition), you get two more available storage out of the box compared with Android Nougat,” HMD Global said.<\/p>\n

“All Nokia smartphones come with no bloatware, skins, UI changes or unnecessary apps pre-loaded onto your phone, giving you a pure Android experience.”<\/p>\n

The Nokia 1 smartphone will be available to purchase from Cell C, MTN and Vodacom and other leading retail stores from R999.<\/p>\n
