Nokia 3.1: The perfect harmony of materials and performance
The new Nokia 3.1 forges a rich connection between materials with a stunning design and performance to match. It features premium looks with an anodized aluminum frame, sculpted glass display and ergonomically curved polycarbonate back to deliver a harmony of materials. At just the right size for single hand use, the Nokia 3.1 packs a 5.2” HD+ display into a 5” device body – larger and slimmer than its predecessor – to give students more content at a glance.
Between classes, Nokia 3.1 users can capture picture perfect memories with the 13MP rear camera and fit all their friends in selfies with the wide-angle 8MP front-facing camera. A pure, secure and up-to-date Android One experience will give the student in your life the best and latest Android Oreo™ features with monthly security updates for three years and OS updates for two years. Without the premium price tag, the Nokia 3.1 offers a premium experience with a powerful octa-core processor to unleash the power of modern apps.
Available in Blue/Copper, Black/Chrome and White/Iron with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage, the Nokia 3.1 is the perfect back-to-school device, bringing together Android’s parental controls with the striking design and excellent performance you expect from a Nokia phone. Sold online at Amazon for $159, this phone performs incredibly well at an amazing price point.
Nokia 6.1: The award-winning phone just got even better
Building on the success of its predecessor, the Nokia 6.1 packs even more powerful performance and great new features into a compact, durable body. Powered by the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 630 Mobile Platform, the Nokia 6.1 is over 60% faster than the award-winning previous generation—perfect for the students that need to move quickly. Taking the original’s precision craftsmanship to the next level, the Nokia 6.1 combines a unibody made from a solid block of 6000 series aluminum, ideal for even the clumsiest of students. And by uniting a sculpted 2.5D display with damage-resistant Corning® Gorilla® Glass, the Nokia 6.1’s compact and refined body is designed to stay beautiful for longer.
For photography fans, ZEISS optics capture every detail of the moments they’ll want to relive again and again. Want to capture the football game and the crowd cheering at the same time? Now you can with Nokia Dual-Sight, which uses the front facing and rear facing camera to create a single image or video. Also, don’t worry about being a late riser; this device allows students to get going to class faster by charging up to 50% in 30 minutes with USB type-C fast charging.
The Nokia 6.1 delivers fast and smooth performance alongside great day-long battery life, Nokia spatial audio and pure, secure and up-to-date Android Oreo™. Sold for $269 on Amazon and at Best Buy stores, the Nokia 6.1 in Black/Copper is built to take on the everyday knocks of the school day.
