Nokia 1.3 - user opinions and reviews

To say the phone is laggy is an understatement. I've been using it for 2 months now as my main driver. And it's struggling to even handle its own native apps.
Knowing that it's a basic OS, I didn't install much additional apps. I only have Whatsapp, Uber and MyVodafone apps installed. Everything else on the phone are the native pre-installed Android-go apps. And even with his meagre setup the screen is super laggy. When receiving a call, the phone starts ringing but the screen doesn't show the call UI for a good 30 seconds, by the time the screen shows the call interface and I pick up the call I find the caller already hung up. This phone can't even handle its own call app, a 30 seconds lag on a native call app is just unacceptable. It takes another 20-30 seconds lag to bring up the keyboard UI to the screen. If you need to reply quickly to an sms, forget it, you won't see the keyboard come up any time soon. Also forget about launching an app from the notification screen (even the native pre-installed apps), it will either fail to launch them or take ages, you'll be better off launching apps only from the home screen.
The phone also frequently stops doing background operations. I'd frequently receive bulk sms and whatsapp messages when I open that particular app sine the phone wasn't runing it in background. Same happens with the call app, sometimes it doesn't run in the background and I get complaints from friends that my phone was switched off when they called, while it was definitely not off.
I'm not sure if all the above shortcomings are due to the Android-go OS, or due to the poor spec of the phone. Or alas, maybe android-go is not compatible with whatsapp or Uber apps, if the latter then this should've been flagged out in Google playstore.

If it were powered by Windows it would not stutter and crash it would work flawlessly I owned a lumia 535 with a snapdragon 200 and besides being low end worked great.How I miss windows phone despite their lack of certain apps.

I bought this phone as a discounted handset that had been returned, now I know why, to echo other people's reviews rubbish phone, I bought this for my son's first phone it's so slow It can't be used for anything other than talk and text. Nokia you nailed the old style phones but this is a lemon. I bought an samsung s9 cheap on facebook market and the Nokia will be used as my photos. My advice stay away from this Cheap imitation.

DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!!!it is a pice of junk i got it two days ago and I got like 2 photos on it and 5 apps [it is already 50% full] it craches a lot and my two day expierience with it was horible if you press eg. the sound button it takes atleast 10 seconds maybe more just to complete a simple task and it only comes with one homescreen so you only have one page to store all your apps .It also doesn't come with a music app [like a normal phone should] not like this is a big problem but i would like to download music but now i have to download my own music app that waste space if it was on the acctual phone.Also it takes a wile to come on and sometimes mine just gives me a black screen.If you want the Nokia 1.3 please think twise becuase you might regret it .I am going to go get my mony back and buy a better phone cus if it's laging this much after two days how is it going to be by a year

nokia 1.3 dont even think about buying this phone , way too slow , photos dissappear after a short period ,too hard trying to answer a call have to swipe too many times or even pushing button to turn on stays blank for too long so have to push button again and again . NOT WORTH ANY MONEY nokia should be ashamed putting a phone in the market with so many faults

complete heap of junk, takes 10 seconds to think about doing the most basic things, like switching on the speaker phone after someone has rang, and now it has deleted all but the last few photos ive taken, all by itself.

Worst phone ever. Lags. Turns itself off after any call I received. Apps are slow and forever crashing, meaning I have to turn it off and back on again. I spend far too long wanting to launch this phone through a window. Sadly I'll have to keep it til I can afford something better. Not another Nokia though. Do not buy.no matter how cheap.
