In December last year, Nokia 1 Android Go Phone was leaked by a Russian journalist, Eldar Murtazin. Now a couple of photos of the smartphone have surfaced online which have revealed the key design of the device, thanks to Chinese microblogging site, Baidu.
The two photos show two similar looking phones and they don’t reveal much about the upcoming Nokia 1. In one photo, Nokia 1 is placed inside a case while the other one shows the actual phone. The rear of the phone shows a single camera with the LED flash and Nokia branding logo below it. The images hint at the plastic body of the device. From the design point of view, Nokia 1 somewhat resembles the Nokia 2.
As per earlier leak, Nokia 1 smartphone could be launched in March 2018. The Nokia 1 could boast an HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels and it will come equipped with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. It is said to be powered by Snapdragon 212 chipset. It is likely to be priced at 5990 Rubbles, which roughly translate to Rs 6,550.
