Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, HMD Global: "The Nokia 1 was an important step for us in offering an accessible Android experience to more fans across the world. With Nokia 1.3, we're taking that entry level experience even further. Our close partnership with Google allows us to launch one of the first smartphones running Android 10 (Go edition), and also to be among the first to debut the all new Camera Go app. We've combined this with our signature AI-powered low-light image fusion technology to give people the opportunity to capture even more memories, without worrying about running out of storage. Our goal was to build on what an affordable smartphone can deliver, without compromising on modern tech essentials. With Nokia 1.3, we combine performance and function with our classic Nordic design."
Modern technology at an affordable price
The Nokia 1.3 comes with a beautiful 5.71" HD+ edge-to-edge screen and a notch design. The Nokia 1.3 delivers a visual experience that's great even in brighter conditions with 400 nits brightness. Plus, take beautiful photos, even in darker conditions with the Nokia 1.3's AI-powered low light image fusion technology. In addition to a rear 8MP auto focus camera with LED Flash, Nokia 1.3 comes with a 5MP front facing camera and brightness boost, so you can take your selfies to the next level.
This device is among the first smartphones to feature Camera Go, designed by Google, built to be fast, and take beautiful photos - all while making sure you don't have to worry about storage. It brings features like Portrait Mode to entry-level smartphones, giving your photos a professional look by focusing on your subject. And, most importantly, Camera Go tracks how much photo and video storage space you have left, and then it helps you clear up space, so you never miss a shot.
The Nokia 1.3 elegantly balances performance with a battery that's built to last so fans can keep snapping all-day. The Nokia 1.3 has the speed you need thanks to the optimised Qualcomm® 215 Mobile Platform and all-day -3000mAh- battery life.
Efficient artificial intelligence meets classic Nordic design
Time is precious – that's why the Nokia 1.3 puts efficiency front and centre. Fans can use visual search to read aloud and translate text with Lens in Google Go. You can simply point and scan any text you don't understand, and it will be read aloud or translated from a different language.
Snapping on the go? The Nokia 1.3 is one of the first smartphones to have Gallery Go integrated with Camera Go, helping make your photos more shareable. Save time finding the right picture even when offline, Gallery Go automatically organises your photos so you can easily find your favourite selfie, plus benefit from one-tap editing features.
The Nokia 1.3 is also the first Nokia 1 to feature a button dedicated to the Google Assistant, lending you a helping hand. Fans can ask questions, see their schedule and even dim the lights by pressing button that learns and adapts with every use.
Efficiency shouldn't mean compromising your data. With the Nokia 1.3 people can get more out of their monthly data plans with powerful data saving features allowing you to choose which apps use your data and when. For example, with YouTube Go fans can enjoy shows on the move; choose the playback quality and even download videos to watch offline later for no additional charge.
The Nokia 1.3 doesn't compromise on style either. Function meets design with the Nokia 1.3 featuring all the hallmarks of Nordic design, from its sleek glass front and elegant 3D nano-patterned back and durable casing, to a beautiful, yet solid finish.
