At MWC2018 just now, Nokia just announced a total of 4 new smartphones and a new feature phone. It seems like Nokia is really jumping into the whole Android One bandwagon, bringing in high-end smartphones with a real pure Android experience for speedy updates. There’s the new Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus and the new Nokia 6 in the Android One family.
Nokia 8110 4G
Reloading the legendary Nokia 8110, this 4G feature phone comes complete with the iconic curved slider design. Giving you the chance to switch off, have fun and relax with the knowledge that all your smartphone essentials are there when you need them.
With a familiar and easy to use interface, it features intuitive tactile mechanics, with slide to answer and end calls, as well as an addictive helicopter style spin on its axis. Nokia 8110 delivers crystal-clear VoLTE calling and is perfect for anyone who wants an iconic 4G feature phone or a companion phone. With access to an app store, for favourites like Google Assistant, Google Search, Google Maps, Facebook and Twitter, send and receive emails or import your contacts and sync your calendar with Outlook and Gmail. To keep it running flawlessly, the Nokia 8110 features the Qualcomm 205 Mobile Platform. And yes, it comes with a revamped version of Snake.
With two vibrant colours to choose from, Traditional Black and Banana Yellow, the Nokia 8110 will be available from May and will retail for a global average retail price of €79, excluding taxes and subsidies. Local pricing and product availability in Malaysia will be announced at a later date.
And yes, it does look like a banana phone.
Nokia 1
The Nokia 1 is a breakthrough in accessible technology, delivering smartphone essentials with the reassuring quality you expect of a Nokia phone and a refreshingly familiar design to fans around the world. Giving more people access to technology, it comes with Android Oreo (Go edition), a version of Android optimized for devices with 1GB RAM or less. The Nokia 1 is designed to be smooth and responsive, with full access to the Google Play Store so you can find all your favorite apps from WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram to mobile banking while also highlighting apps that are optimized for Android Oreo (Go edition).
Featuring the iconic ‘Nokia smile’ in a fresh new package, you can give your Nokia 1 a makeover thanks to the popular Xpress-on covers, available in a range of vibrant colours. This really reminds me of the days where we used to buy swappable parts for Nokia phones and just have fun with all the designs. These covers are made from the tough two-tone polycarbonate.
Available from early April in Warm Red and Dark Blue, the Nokia 1 will retail for a global average retail price of USD $85, excluding taxes and subsidies. Xpress-on covers, sold separately, are available from USD7.99 in Azure, Grey, Yellow and Pink. Local pricing and product availability in Malaysia will be announced at a later date.

It now offers enhanced Dual-Sight, ZEISS optics, USB-C fast-charging, a more compact screen-to-body ratio, Nokia spatial audio and pure Android Oreo.
The Nokia 6 (2018) takes the original’s precision craftsmanship to the next level by combining a unibody, made from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium, with an 11-hour two-tone anodizing and polishing process.
