The Nokia 1 is the cheapest Android smartphone yet from HMD Global. It is powered by 1.1GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6737M processor and it comes with 1GB of RAM and 8GB.

The device is available in Warm Red and Dark Blue and is among the Android phones offered by Nokia for every price range. The Nokia 8 and Nokia 7 Plus with their Snapdragon processors and at least 4GB of RAM are selling at Ksh.60,000 and Ksh.46,000 respectively. The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 which fall in the middle with less RAM and lower performance processor, on the other hand, are retailing at Ksh.15,000 and Ksh. 20,000 respectively.
