The one thing that nobody can deny about Nokia phones is how strong they are. It would seem that Nokia makes it a point to build their phones to withstand whatever the world throws at them. Apart from the fact that these phones are durable, they also feel good to hold. The Nokia 3 is one of these phones.
It is therefore shocking to note that many people in Nigeria are unaware of the new set of Nokia Android phones. Most Nigerians do not even know that Nokia makes Android phones.
I use one of the Nokia phones, and I always note the surprise of people when they realize that my phone is a Nokia. The Nokia phones are way too good to be ignored, so in this article, we will be looking at the Nokia 3.
The phone was launched in 2017, at the MWC 2017 event in Barcelona, Spain by HMS Global. It came with the Nokia 5 and Nokia 6, which are more significant variations of the phone.
I will be highlighting the specs and prices of the phone at the time of writing. So, keep reading.

NOKIA 3 REVIEW
The phone does not have a fingerprint scanner and this is a downside because many people do not have the time to start inserting passcodes or setting patterns. Also, the fingerprint scanner is a very safe and secure method of keeping your phone locked.
The battery is only 2630 mAh, although Nokia phones will usually have long-lasting batteries.
Also, this phone doesn’t look as fine and sleek as the models after it. However, it is very affordable and lets you access the basic things you need an Android for.
The camera is not quite impressive as it is the same MP with the back and front. It lacks autofocus or face-detection features.
The phone may sometimes not be very quick to respond to instructions and this may make it drag more than is permitted. But this phone is perfect if you do not plan on using it for so much.

The Nokia 5 is yet another wonderful addition to the Nokia family. Protecting the phone is gorilla glass. It also has an 8MP front camera as well as a 13MP rear camera so you cannot go wrong with taking photos.
The phone also comes with a stronger 3000mAh battery capacity and you will agree with me that this is great development from the Nokia 3.
