Nokia 3

The Nokia 3 is the first attempt by HMD Global – the brand that owns the Nokia name – to create a budget smartphone. It's a wannabe rival, but one that doesn't quite offer as much as our favourite budget phone of 2017. The Nokia 3 is reminiscent of older Windows Phone-toting Nokia phones.
Pros:
  • Great software
  • Budget price
  • Battery life will get you through the day
Cons:
  • Terrible performance
  • Bad display
  • Unreliable camera

Un-Finnished Business

A Nokia for the masses! And not the 3310. Risen from the ashes, the legendary Finnish brand makes a fresh start, "connecting people" the Android way. It's a nice sentiment for sure, but one that's mostly fueled by collective nostalgia over the Nokia golden age, back in the 90's.

Aluminium design The Nokia 3 has a precision machined aluminium frame, formed out of a single piece of aluminium. Nicely rounded edges give this Nokia phone that modern look and while there may be a polycarbonate back, you do at least get to enjoy a touch of premium materials.

Nokia 3

The Nokia 3 is the lowest-end of Nokia's new line of Android phones. It's on sale in the UK for £120, but you will have to make sacrifices for that price. That converts to $156 or AU$200, although Nokia has no plans to bring the phone to the US. The biggest problems are in the processor performance.
Pros:
  • The Android-based Nokia 3 is dirt-cheap
  • looks good and is comfortable to hold in one hand
Cons:
  • Its lack of power makes using the phone sluggish and frustrating
