Nokia 1 alleged renders surface online; the Android Oreo Go phone could be unveiled at MWC 2018

Rumours have been flying around, of a possible low budget **Android Go** phone from Finnish smartphone maker HMD Global. Now it would seem that we have our alleged first look at a render of this device which is being reportedly called as the **Nokia 1** .

Not much can be made out of the render except for the fact that the phone looks to have the same size as the **Nokia 2** . The rumoured hardware specs of the Nokia 1 include a 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal storage and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 SoC, which again is similar to the Nokia 2. However, while the Nokia 2 runs on near stock Android, the Nokia 1 will run on Android Go, which is actually optimised for low-end devices. The pricing of the Nokia 1 has been tipped to be around $95 (approx Rs 5,500) and a launch date of around March this year. The real question is what will Nokia do with the Nokia 2, now that it has plans to unveil a similar device with a lower price point. Guess we will have to wait until the MWC this year when reportedly the phone will be unveiled.
