Nokia D1C Android: A New Generation Of Powerful Nokia Smartphones At Competitive Prices
Staff ReporterSamsung and Apple may seem to be the most prevalent competitors worth noting in the smartphone battle, but that doesn't mean other brands are out of the running.
Nokia has just laced up its shoes and jumped right into the fray with possibly three Android-powered Nokia handsets in the coming year. Of the three models, the Nokia D1C is its most promising. Potential features aside, speculations have priced the phone at a startlingly low $150 for the basic model.
As one of the first quality mobile phone brands, Nokia has made a name for itself in this particular market. Nokia phones are known for their durability and almost brick-like hardness --- so much that they've become an internet meme. Before the rise of touch-screen technology and the birth of smartphones, Nokia phones were basic, sturdy, and did what they were made to do: provide an avenue of communication wherever the user may be.
Hence, Nokia is banking on its name, brand recognition, and years of solidifying customer loyalty for the success of their smartphone launch and its subsequent sales. Currently, Nokia is neither confirming nor denying the competitive phone prices, according to News 18.
Speculative reports give two prices for the same model with different specs. The first model, with 5" full HD Display and 2GB RAM, is the one pegged at $150. The second version, with a 5.5" Full HD Display and 3GB RAM, is said to be on retail at $200 to $250.
In terms of specs, the Nokia D1C series is said to run on Android 7.0 Nougat, the latest OS, and will be powered by a Snapdragon 430 processor, according to GamenGuide. Combined with the standard 2GB or 3GB RAM, this Nokia smartphone seems to be angling for competitive pricing coupled with considerable operating power. A 13MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera completes the speculated package.
While Nokia is neither confirming nor denying these specs, the Nokia D1C promises to be the first in a generation of new Nokia smartphones. Fans are already expecting the experience and hardiness typical for a Nokia phone, but only time will tell if Nokia can bring features new enough to stay alive in the market.
