Nokia 1.4 — Full Specifications, Features & Price in Pakistan

Introduction

The Nokia 1.4 (February 2021) was the biggest, most capable phone HMD ever put in its ultra-budget '1' series: 6.51-inch HD+ display, 4000mAh battery, rear fingerprint reader and — a series first — up to 3GB of RAM, still on Android Go with the modest Snapdragon 215. Discontinued for years, it now trades only as a used handset in Pakistan. This guide lists its verified specifications and what to inspect — battery, fingerprint reader, PTA status and app compatibility — before buying.

Design and Build Quality

The Nokia 1.4 is large for a budget phone — 166.4 mm tall with a 6.51-inch screen — and at 178 grams feels substantial. The design follows HMD's early-2020s language: waterdrop notch, circular camera housing on a textured plastic back, and a rear fingerprint reader, a first for the '1' series. Colours were Fjord, Charcoal and Dusk. No water resistance. On a used unit, test the fingerprint reader carefully — the most failure-prone part on aging budget phones — and check for cracks.

Display Features

The 6.51-inch IPS LCD has a 20:9 ratio and 720 x 1600 resolution (~270 ppi) — the largest display ever on HMD's '1' series, genuinely helpful for video, reading and maps versus the 5.71-inch 1.3. Sharpness is adequate, brightness was never officially rated, and there is no high refresh rate or HDR. Inspect a used screen for dead pixels, backlight bleed and touch dead spots, especially near the edges.

Processor and Performance

The Snapdragon 215 (QM215) returns from the 1.3: four 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 cores with Adreno 308 graphics on 28 nm. Same modest chip, but the 1.4 pairs it with up to 3GB of RAM, making everyday use noticeably smoother than the 1GB-only 1.3. Still basics-only — calls, messaging, browsing and light apps are fine; gaming and heavy multitasking are not.

RAM and Storage

The 1.4's standout trait: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB of RAM with 16GB, 32GB or 64GB of storage. The 3GB/64GB version is by far the most usable in 2026 — it holds a reasonable app set and switches between apps without constant reloading. microSD expands storage up to 128GB. Confirm the exact RAM/storage in Settings when buying used: the 1GB/16GB base is a very different, far more limited phone.

Camera Features

Dual rear camera: 8MP wide main sensor (autofocus, LED flash) plus a 2MP macro camera; 720p video at 30fps; 5MP front camera. The macro lens is more spec-sheet filler than genuinely useful. Image quality follows the budget pattern: acceptable in good daylight, noisy and soft indoors or at night. On a used unit, test both rear lenses and the flash — a dead macro camera is easy to miss.

Battery and Charging

The 4000mAh non-removable battery was a headline feature — the biggest in the '1' series — giving genuinely long endurance when new. On a 2021-era used unit, capacity will have degraded depending on charging habits and heat exposure. Charging is slow microUSB with no fast charging. Be wary of any unit that drops percentage points quickly or shuts off above 10%.

Software and Updates

Launched on Android 10 (Go edition) with an official upgrade to Android 11 (Go edition). HMD's clean, bloat-free build was a selling point. Support ended years ago, so there are no security patches — a real drawback for banking or payment apps. Some modern apps may refuse to install on Android Go or Android 11, so install your essential apps on the actual handset before committing.

Connectivity and Additional Features

GSM, HSPA and LTE (Cat 4) with dual nano-SIM dual standby, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with hotspot, Bluetooth 4.2 and GPS with A-GPS. No 5G, no NFC. microUSB 2.0, 3.5mm jack and FM radio are present. Sensors: accelerometer, ambient light, proximity and the rear fingerprint reader. A dedicated Google Assistant button is included.

Variants, Colours and Availability

Sold internationally as 1GB/16GB, 2GB/32GB and 3GB/64GB in Fjord, Charcoal and Dusk, with dual nano-SIM. Not every configuration necessarily reached Pakistan — verify the actual unit's RAM and storage in Settings. PTA approval is per-device and per-IMEI: never assume it; verify by IMEI before paying (see the PTA guides linked below).

Price in Pakistan and PTA Information

WhatMobile Pakistan shows 'Coming Soon (Expected Rs: 18,999)' (checked 2026-10-11) — a stale pre-launch placeholder, not a current price. The model is discontinued; no verified new-unit price exists. Used prices depend on the RAM/storage variant (3GB/64GB commands more), condition, battery health and PTA status. PTA approval is strictly per-device and per-IMEI: two handsets of the same model can have different tax/registration status, so never assume a used unit is PTA approved. Learn what PTA approval means, how to check PTA approval and how to check an IMEI before paying for any used phone.

Main Advantages and Limitations

Advantages:

• Largest display in the '1' series (6.51-inch HD+)
• Up to 3GB RAM / 64GB storage — most usable of its era
• 4000mAh battery — biggest in the series
• Rear fingerprint reader (a series first)
• Clean, bloat-free Android Go software

Limitations:

• Discontinued — no support, warranty or spare parts
• Snapdragon 215 remains basics-only
• No security updates; Android Go limits some modern apps
• microSD capped at 128GB; microUSB instead of USB-C
• No NFC, no 5G; macro camera adds little

Who Should Consider This Phone?

The 1.4 is the pick of the old '1' series for a used buyer: the 3GB/64GB version works as a believable secondary or starter smartphone, with a big screen, fingerprint unlock and long battery life. Avoid the 1GB/16GB base version unless the price is negligible. Not for power users, gamers or photographers — and banking-app users should confirm compatibility first.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the price of the Nokia 1.4 in Pakistan?

No verified current price. WhatMobile shows a stale 'Coming Soon (Expected Rs: 18,999)' placeholder (checked 2026-10-11); the phone is discontinued. Used prices vary by variant, condition, battery and PTA status — confirm with Zohaan Mobile Gallery.

What processor does the Nokia 1.4 use?

The Qualcomm QM215 (Snapdragon 215): quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 with Adreno 308 graphics. Adequate for everyday apps, especially with 2GB or 3GB RAM; not for gaming.

What are its RAM and storage options?

1GB/16GB, 2GB/32GB or 3GB/64GB, plus microSD up to 128GB. The 3GB/64GB version is the most usable; verify in Settings before buying used.

Does the Nokia 1.4 have a fingerprint sensor?

Yes — rear-mounted, a first for HMD's '1' series. Test it thoroughly on a used unit; budget fingerprint sensors are a common age-related failure point.

How good is the Nokia 1.4 camera?

Dual rear: 8MP wide (autofocus, LED flash) + 2MP macro, 720p video; 5MP front. Decent daylight record shots; weak in low light. The macro lens adds little.

What is the Nokia 1.4 battery capacity?

4000mAh, non-removable, slow microUSB charging — the largest battery in the '1' series. Expect degradation on a 2021-era used unit.

Does the Nokia 1.4 support 5G?

No — GSM, HSPA and LTE (Cat 4) only.

Is the Nokia 1.4 PTA approved?

PTA status is per-device and per-IMEI and must be checked on the specific handset. See our guides on what PTA approval means and how to check it before you buy.

Final Verdict and Where to Buy

The Nokia 1.4 is the most complete ultra-budget phone HMD made — big HD+ screen, up to 3GB RAM, 4000mAh battery, fingerprint reader. The 3GB/64GB version remains a usable secondary or starter phone, but with no security updates, Android Go app limits and a five-year-old battery. Verify the variant, test the reader and battery, confirm your apps run, and check PTA status by IMEI.

If you are considering a used Nokia 1.4, always inspect the actual unit: battery health, screen condition and PTA status vary between handsets. You can view the Nokia 1.4 listing at Zohaan Mobile Gallery, browse all used mobile phones, or read our guide to buying a used mobile safely.
