Priced at just Rs 6,199 — and available for as low as Rs 5,699 after an instant discount of Rs 600 — the Nokia C01 Plus makes 4G connectivity and a full Android experience accessible to everyone.

Price, Offers, and Where to Buy
The Nokia C01 Plus carries an MRP of Rs 6,199. However, buyers can grab it at a special price of Rs 5,699 thanks to an instant discount of Rs 600 available at the time of purchase. Nokia is backing the phone with a one-year replacement guarantee, giving entry-level buyers added peace of mind.
In addition to the price cut, the Nokia C01 Plus comes with a Jio exclusive offer that bundles benefits worth Rs 4,000 — including a recharge of Rs 299 — for Jio subscribers who purchase the device. This effectively brings the total value proposition well above what the sticker price suggests.
The handset is available in two colour options — Blue and Gray — and can be purchased from Nokia's official website (Nokia.com), major e-commerce platforms including Amazon and Flipkart, as well as offline retail stores across India.
Why the Nokia C01 Plus Stands Out in the Budget Segment
At this price point, the Nokia C01 Plus competes directly with the JioPhone Next, which retails at Rs 5,999. A few factors tip the scales in Nokia's favour for many buyers.
- Two years of security updates: Nokia's commitment to software security is rare in the sub-Rs 7,000 category. Regular updates keep the device protected for longer.
- 32GB onboard storage: With expandable storage up to 128GB via microSD, users have ample room for apps, photos, and media without constantly managing space.
- Android 11 (Go Edition): Optimised for entry-level hardware, Android Go ensures smooth performance even on modest specs, with lighter versions of Google's core apps.
- 5.45-inch HD+ display: The 18:9 screen with 295 ppi delivers a crisp viewing experience suitable for video streaming, social media, and everyday browsing.
- Face unlock: Biometric face unlock adds a layer of convenience and security uncommon at this price range.
Camera and Connectivity
The Nokia C01 Plus features a 5MP rear camera for everyday photography and a 2MP front camera for video calls and selfies — a functional setup for the entry-level segment. The dual Nano-SIM tray means users can run two numbers simultaneously, ideal for those wanting to separate personal and work lines, or to take advantage of multiple carrier plans.
Battery and Build
The phone's 3,000mAh battery is designed to handle a full day of light to moderate usage. Weighing 157 grams, the Nokia C01 Plus has a compact and lightweight build that makes it comfortable to carry and handle throughout the day.
For anyone looking for a reliable daily-use 4G phone under Rs 6,500, the Nokia C01 Plus deserves serious consideration. Explore more handsets in the phone category to compare options across all budgets.
