Recently, Nokia launched its new budget smartphone, the Nokia 1.3, which you can currently pre-order and buy from April 10, 2020. The mobile phone equipped with Android 10 in the Go Edition is a smartphone for people who don't need one. That means that it is a cheap alternative to Samsung flagships, Xiaomi all-rounders and basically also to the Apple iPhone. For just 109 EUR on Amazon it is comparable to a better dumbphone and also introduces those who refuse to use technology to the advantages of a large display, apps, camera and Co. Here I have summarized a few details about the device for you.

Comparisons with Samsung or Apple are not worthwhile
As already mentioned at the beginning, the Nokia 1.3 is a budget model for those who avoid other smartphone offers due to the high prices. The basic functions such as making calls and sending / receiving SMS are also available with a non-smart mobile phone - but interested parties can also use two cameras, the range of apps for Android and thus Messenger, as well as social networks. Of course, there aren't three, four, or even more gigabytes of RAM for that; and no double, triple or even more extensive camera with a hundred times zoom. The Nokia 1.3 is just an entry-level model.
Nokia 1.3 - recommendation for those who do not want a (used) iPhone
I'm often asked which smartphone people should buy. My answer, of course, is a reference to the Apple iPhone. Then it usually comes back that the iPhones are so expensive. What I recommend a used, older iPhone to take, because they are inexpensive and usually still work for several years. The last counter-attack is always that you actually only need a cheap smartphone because you only want to use WhatsApp and Facebook with it. In this case, I haven't been able to make a suitable recommendation so far, but that has changed with the Nokia 1.3.
microSD memory card for Nokia 1.3
I already have a little buying guide for SD cards for you compiled at this point. Due to the reliability and quality of the SanDisk cards, I usually recommend them without any alternative. Because I or friends of mine have already had some problems with other manufacturers and brands. SanDisk, on the other hand, was always ready and reliable during use. So if you don't want to use the Nokia 1.3 as a dual SIM smartphone, but rather equip the second place in the card slot with a microSD card, you can, for example, use cards 64 GB, 128 GB, 256 GB or 400 GB from SanDisk.
