Nokia smartphones

What it is
Nokia smartphones is a line of primarily Android-based smartphones (meaning they are powered by Google’s Android operating system).

How it works
Today, Nokia is known for creating mid-range and more affordable smartphones. These devices still provide the key features and functions expected from a smartphone, such as WiFi connectivity, speakers and front and rear cameras for capturing images. In addition, users have access to millions of apps – from YouTube and Fortnite to artificial intelligence apps such as Google Gemini – through the Google Play store. 

Parental controls or safety settings available
Nokia smartphones which run on Android do have parental controls available through the Google Family Link app. This gives parents the ability to:

• Set daily time limits

• Restrict their child’s access to specific apps, websites or features

• View the location of their child’s device
