Nokia 3 Smartphone specification and price

Nokia 3 is recently launched by HMD Global with the other two phones Nokia 5 and Nokia 6. Nokia 3 is an Android phone with 4G LTE connectivity and 5 inches HD display. The price of Nokia 3 starts from Rs 10,299 in India.

The specifications of this new device is mentioned below:-

The Device
Nokia 3 is an Android device having the size 143.4 x 71.4 x 8.48mm. The phone is available in four colors which are Tempered Blue, Silver, Matte Black, Copper.

Display
Nokia 3 has 5 inches IPS LCD display with a screen resolution of 1280x720 pixels. The screen is well protected by 2.5 sculpted Corning Gorilla Glass.

Operating System and processor
The device is managed by the latest OS by Android i.e Android 7.0 Noughat with the help of Quad-core 1.3 Ghz Mediatek processor. There is 2 GB RAM provided with the phone. You'll definitely miss an Octa-Core processor here because in this price range you can obviously buy others phones having an Octa-Core processor.

Storage
The phone has 16 GB internal memory which can be expanded upto 128 GB using a microSD card.

Camera
The primary camera and secondary camera are of same megapixels i.e. 8 MP camera with AutoFocus. The primary camera is equipped with a LED flash.

Connectivity
For connectivity Micro USB(2.0),Bluetooth,Wi-Fi and USB OTG has been provided. The sensor available in the phone as Accelerometer (G-sensor), ambient light sensor, e-compass, gyroscope, proximity sensor, NFC for sharing.

Battery
The device has a 2630 mAh power source and is non-removable

There are some weak points of this device according to me which are:-

1. In this price range one can easily get an Octa-Core processor with Snapdragon processor which works quite better than this Mediatek Processor.
2. Fingerprint sensor is not available with this phone which can be a drawback of the phone.
3. Micro USB version is a bit outdated.
4. The internal memory is quite low i.e. only 16 GB.

Nokia 3 is one of the Nokia smartphones that marked the re-entry of Nokia in the mobile phones arena. Here are a few features that the device comes with -

Design and Display
Nokia 3 has a compact design language. The compact size makes it a perfect choice with due respect to the comfort added in handling it. The metal frame gives it a premium feeling even with the polycarbonate rear. In more ways than one, the device resembles the Lumia range of devices.
You get a 5 inch HD display. The phone has an IPS display which translates into clear visibility and better legibility. The 1280 x 720 resolution and the display offers you Gorilla Glass protection.

Hardware
The phone is powered by MediaTek quad core processor. That would make it appear a low end specification. In any case, the phone has not been launched as a premium one. You have 2 GB on board RAM which again may appear a little too low compared to the multitude of devices that come with higher RAM capacity. There is a 16 GB internal memory, but you can expand it further by another 128 GB if you want.

Software
Nokia 3 runs on Android Nougat 7.0 out of the box. You have a stock Android experience. That would make it best choice with its clutter free and smoother performance from the software point of view. There are no unneeded bloatware. Nokia has promised prompt and regular updates. And yes, you will get Android O when it is available.

Camera
The phone comes with 8 MP cameras both on the front and rear. The shooting experience would be limited to basic shooting skills. There isn't much to speak about the quality, but yes - the image quality is good enough for a phone at this price.

Battery and other features
The 2650 mAh battery capacity can be just good for the features it has on offer. Maybe we need to wait for the exact real life tests, however, I would assume that you should get enough backup on a single charge.
There are standard connectivity options available. You have access to Bluetooth 4.0, WiFi, GPS and FM radio. It offers you microUSB connectivity. You may miss the USB Type C. The phone does support USB OTG functionality.

Nokia 3 can be Nokia's best bet for a budget range of smartphones. Sturdy build quality and contemporary stylish design can be some of the plus points. You can buy the phone at Rs. 9200 to 9800. Exact pricing details are currently not available.
