“We aim to offer high-quality products to our consumers ensuring that they have the best possible experience with this latest addition to our portfolio. Nokia 1 Plus combines a big display, solid imaging, and aspirational design with a unique nano-pattern finish at the back, as well as running on the latest Android 9 Pie (Go Edition) OS,” he said.

Modern design and quality combined with a big, bright screen

The Nokia 1 Plus brings a progressive and cutting-edge design to the value segment. Using innovative materials with 3D tooling, it achieves a gorgeous textured nano-pattern at the back that cups the Nokia 1 Plus all the way to the display.

Its polycarbonate shell is inherently colored rather than painted (color runs through so doesn’t show white when nicked or scratched), providing a unique texture for a sophisticated look and feel.
