While you can't expect too much from the smartphone at this price, the Nokia 3 doesn't really deliver any pleasant surprises. If you can stretch your budget to $399, the Moto G5 Plus offers much better performance, battery life and camera.

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

The budget smartphone category has been in the doldrums this year. With prices rising for gadgets across the board (thanks, Brexit), manufacturers have found it tough to continue to improve their products while keeping prices low.

Nokia 3 review: Affordable, but problems a'plenty
In 2014, Nokia left the smartphone arena. After years of producing great phones, the once-dominant mobile firm had let it all slip through its fingers, selling up to Microsoft after a disastrous few years as the only big firm making Window Phone handsets.

Nokia 3 review
As a first stepping stone into Android, the Nokia 3 isn't a bad buy - but it ain't a great one, either. For £130 you get a good-looking phone, without any hateful custom UI getting between you and your apps, but the fairly basic screen, slow camera and sub-par performance let the side down. If your budget will stretch further, there are superior handsets such as the Motorola Moto G5 and Lenovo P2. If it won’t? Vodafone’s Smart N8 only costs £85, and that manages to pack in a fingerprint sensor.
Pros:
- Looks more than it costs
- Near-standard Android UI
- Decent price
Cons:
- Not enough power
- Below-average battery
- No fingerprint sensor
