Nokia 1 Plus drops into Littlewoods Ireland and UK #Nokia #Ireland #Nokia1Plus

The latest entry level Nokia 1 Plus is now on sale with Littlewoods Ireland and UK, The Nokia 1 Plus comes with Android 9 GO edition but after that you can expect entry level specs but a decent sized  screen and good battery life with 25000 mAh to enjoy media on. You have an 8MP rear camera and 5 MP front facing camera with 8GB of RAM on board expandable with Micro SD. The device has not yet hit shelves here in bricks and mortar but when or if it does I would expect it to be cheaper.

The 1 Plus comes with a textured back and you can hotswap covers which is nice and something we have once seen before with Nokia of old.

Pick up the retro Nokia 3310 and 8110 on the cheap with @tescomobileire. #Nokia #Tesco

HMD Global and Nokia released two retro devices so far but none this year at MWC which some had been expecting to see another “tug at the heart strings” device. The retro phones in general do sell well and plenty of people I know including myself sport one or the other. If you have not picked up the Nokia 3310 most famous for snake or the 8110 dubbed the banana phone Tesco Mobile are now selling them off a decent prices should you need a spare or perhaps even pick one up as a gift..

You could also buy one of these two devices to just get away from it all too and it is not a bad thing as things seem to be getting worse instead of better with our heads buried in our screens. Check out my review on the 8110, this is my favourite of the two..
