The Nokia 3.4 comes with one major selling point, and that's its low, low price. You'll struggle to find a smartphone available for much cheaper than this, but if you're going to limit your budget to this level, make sure you know what you're getting in return.

Very affordable; Clean software; James Bond link

Slow performance; Okay camera; Average battery life

The Nokia 3.4 is a cheap phone with a battery that should last two days for many, along with clean software and the promise of updates. But limited RAM makes it run slower than we’d like, and as such it's hard to fully recommend even at its low price.

Long battery life; Low price; Clean Android One software

Poor performance; Weak speaker; Mediocre cameras

Smart design and great cameras can’t quite make up for the poor performance.

Good cameras; Nice design; Low price

Poor performance; Not much storage

Nokia's 3.4 looks chic, is not too heavy for its size, and comes with a certain future-proofing with Android One, which is otherwise often searched for in vain in inexpensive smartphones. The battery runtimes are good, the device offers a decent performance level and the speakers are not bad at all.

Android One; quite a lot of performance; decent runtimes; good sound

blurred camera images; outdated security patches; strong heating under load

Nokia actually jumped 3.3, from 3.2 , we now have the Nokia 3.4, and thankfully, the new comer offers upgrade in almost all specs possible. For starters, it comes in a 6.39-inches screen with 720 x 1560 resolution. The display panel is IPS, and it has a dot-notch with 19.5:9 aspect ratio.

With the Nokia 3.4, you get a decent screen, decent build, decent performance, decent battery, decent cameras, decent storage, and up-to-date software that will get upgraded for two years. Drawing a conclusion about this handset is easy.

At a RRP of $249 though, it would be worthy of consideration for people who just need a communication device without all the bells and whistles, or the encumbrances of an expensive contract.

Now let’s talk about the price. The Nokia 3.4 is priced at PHP 7,990 , and honestly, we think it’s a good phone but too steep for its league. We still stand by our word that there are better-specced smartphones at this price range, but hey, it’s Nokia.
