Mobile phones, in India, now have stopped being only communication devices. These have now become the features of internet access, online classes, digital payments, and entertainment. Hence, in this phase of transition, Nokia presents its latest smartphone, the Nokia 1100 Lite.
The phone is targeted rightly for a country like India where people always want less price with modern features.
This new Nokia device is also a tribute to the historic Nokia 1100. Do you remember the one which entered every household because it had the strongest body, a flashlight, and an extraordinary battery backup? The 1100 was used by millions of people back then, and many called it the most reliable phone. The trust and recognition have now been redesigned for the contemporary demand.
Great Value for Money
Price has always been among the critical factors considered by mobile buyers in India. Millions aspire to own a smartphone but fall short of their budget.
- Keeping in mind these very people, Nokia has priced the 1100 Lite at around ₹9,999.
- Just imagine; to get yourself a 5G smartphone for less than ten thousand rupees is an achievement by itself!
- Women have been given an upper hand in its designing and marketing, seeing that it is targeted at school-going children, first-time smartphone users, and individuals living in small towns and villages.
- These are people who, using 4G phones until now, want a better internet connection and features.
The phone is just perfect for a college student who needs it to watch online lectures, download PDF notes, and discuss projects over video calls. It is also useful for a farmer in an Indian village wanting to check market rates or weather information.
