The Nokia 3.1 doesn't look like a budget phone because the design gives it a premium appearance, and feel.


A deceptive design

The Nokia 3.1 stands out in a crowded field due to it cool curves and diamond-cut aluminium sides. The curved back and sculpted Corning glass display also combine to make this a comfortable phone to hold onto.


Maximised screen space

While this is a compact phone, the screen space is deceptively large thanks to the 18:9 ratio which seems to squeeze every millimetre out of the5.2ТТHD+ display. Watch a movie on the Nokia 3.1 and you'll be immersed in what seems like a big screen in no time.


Two cool cameras

The rear camera is a 13 MP auto-focus with LED flash that takes clearly detailed photos while you're out and about. If you need to fit a crowd into your next selfie, you'll love the 8 MP front camera with a wide 84.6-degree field of view.


Do it all with Android One

The Nokia 3.1 benefits from Android One, a Google designed software experience. Android One offers easy to use interface, pre-installed apps, and free, unlimited photo storage with Google Photos. Regular security updates and two years of OS upgrades also means less security hassles.


The all-important processor

Making everything hum nicely, and adding to the impression that this is much more than a budget phone, is the Octa-Core processor, which comfortably handles AR gaming or multitasking between apps.

Nokia 3.1: Full, in-depth review

The Nokia 3.1 is a smartphone that picks its wars wisely. If you’re looking to fight those same battles on a budget, it shouldn’t be overlooked. It still feels strange and uncanny to describe Nokia as a challenger in the mobile space - but I really struggle to find another way to describe the brand’s M.O. in 2018.
Pros:
  • Super cheap
  • Diamond-cut feel factor
Cons:
  • Performance hitches
  • Lack of features
