Our manufacturing standards that give our phones the durability they are synonymous with are amongst some of the toughest in the world, and with the Nokia C1 Plus, you can really feel it. In a true testimony to this quality, our latest Android (Go edition) smartphone comes with a powerful front-facing flash, a large, crisp screen and HDR imaging in a durable, stylish package with an all-day battery.
