Nokia is planning to make a grand comeback with several Android-based mobile phones. Some of its imminent launches are Nokia 8, Nokia C1, Nokia P1 etc. Nokia’s android mobiles are certainly going to give a tough rivalry to other Android mobile makers like Moto, Samsung and Xiaomi. One of the upcoming Android phones of Nokia is the Nokia E1. Since the day news about its launch has been released, people have been very eager to know about the Nokia E1 price in India.
Though there has been no confirmed launch date of Nokia E1, rumors say it is going to be launched in the first week of April, most probably on 5 of April 2017. Sources say that the Nokia E1 price in India is going to be ₹35,000 but there is no conformity about it.
Nokia E1 Price and Release date:
| Mobile Name | Launching Price (Expected) | Release Date (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Nokia E1 | Rs. 35,000 | April 2017 |
Why should you Buy Nokia E1?
- The phone runs on the latest version of Android i.e. Android V7 (Nougat). The latest operating system ensures the latest features and a better platform in comparison to that of the older Android versions.
- The phone has a 5.2 inch long Full HD or 1080p resolution display. This screen size ensures that it has a large enough screen for the user to work on it easily but small enough to get inside your pocket. As a result the phone is easy to use and is also handy to carry.
- It will be available in 4 classic colors: White, Silver, Grey, and Black. It won’t be launched in tacky colors as other android models of Xiaomi.
- It has an impressive capacitive touch screen that supports up to ten fingers capacitive touch.
- Nokia E1 will have a 4 GB RAM and 64GB internal storage which is expandable up to 128 GB. With such an amazing RAM the phone certainly won’t lag or freeze when multiple tabs are open. Also the internal storage is high enough; so most people won’t need micro SD card to increase the memory space.
- Nokia E1 is equipped with active noise cancellation feature with a dedicated mic. So now you can enjoy noise-free music!
Though some sources have revealed that the Nokia E1 price in India to be Rs 35,000 various other sources reveal that it might be available at a much lesser pocket pinch of Rs 25,000.
Now let’s have a look at some of the drawbacks of Nokia E1
- Nokia E1 is not equipped with finger print sensor. Now this might make some interested buyers back out as much cheaper android models of Xiaomi have the finger print sensor in them.
- There is no quick charging feature available in Nokia E1.
- The phone is not waterproof. Though it is dust proof and splash proof yet unlike its rival company Samsung’s many Android models the phone is not water proof. Sigh!
- There is no wireless charging feature in Nokia E1. Most of the upcoming models of Samsung like Samsung Galaxy X1 will have this feature. So people might prefer Galaxy X1 over Nokia E1.
