Nokia 3

amazon Nokia 3 reviews

Design

Nokia 3 owns a good design compared to the price range, the aluminum frame feels very solid. The combination of polycarbonate aluminum bezel and polycarbonate back cover and 2.5D curved glass can make many people think of the Nokia Lumia 925, one of the most beautiful devices in the Lumia range.

When looking closely at the details, Nokia 3 still shows the ability to work well. The Micro USB slot and headphones are all plastic, the buttons have a reasonable thickness and bounce, beautiful 2.5D glass, and the metal parts are handled crisply. The only “creaking” detail is that when pressed against the back, can feel the distance between the plastic shell and the internal components.

With a 5-inch screen, the size of the Nokia 3 is quite small and suitable for those who like compact. Nokia 3 has four color options, including two less common colors are black blue and white, rose gold border. These colors will suit many users rather than the Lumia’s previous flashy colors.

Design is one of the most meritorious points of Nokia 3. Material, finishing of the machine is superior to the same price range. Nokia 3 retains the same design as previous Nokia Lumia phones. If the former cheap Lumia buyers will usually only have young, colorful designs, the Nokia 3 looks “more adult”, anyone can use.

Monitor and sound

The Nokia 3 screen is 5 inches in size and has an HD resolution of 1280 x 720. If you’re looking for a large, well-rounded entertainment device, the Nokia 3’s screen is a little too small to use. The resolution is not high, the contrast is not high so the image displayed is also not impressive. The advantage of this screen is that the size is suitable for those with small hands, short fingers.

The quality of the speakerphone on this handset is not worth talking about, but the familiar notification sounds will be very special to those who have ever been attached to a Nokia phone. From the moment you turn it on with the familiar 5-note, the notification tone, phone ring and message remind you of old Nokia phones.

Camera

Both cameras of Nokia 3 are 8MP resolution. The latter uses the f / 2.0 lens, the 1.12 μm sensor, and the front camera uses a f / 2.0 lens.

The camera software is pretty bad, with the most messy interface on the small screen, and the internal settings are worse because of all the text and there are many buggy translations, such as “watermark” Translated from the word “watermark”. The speed of capture, save or transfer between the also quite slow.

Although the software experience is not good but the picture quality of Nokia 3 is ok. The color of the image is quite natural, especially when shooting in the evening and in places with electric lights. Of course when viewing images in large size, the image quality is not high, the details are poor and flat, but if only looking at small size as seen on social networks, the phone screen is beautiful colors will make photo more impressive

The light range of the image is not wide, so when shooting in the sun, it will be difficult to show many details. This can be improved with high-speed HDR, HDR shooting speed is quite fast, can be compared to the more expensive.

The front of the Nokia 3 has beautiful features, when choosing this mode will save two images simultaneously, with and without beauty. However, you can not adjust the level of beauty, and the beauty effect is slightly fake, not natural.

Performance, battery and software

With the configuration of the MediaTek 6737 chip, 2GB of RAM, the user may not expect too much performance on the Nokia 3. Actual performance also corresponds to the configuration, simple tasks are no problem. What, but when opening multiple tabs in the browser, the processor is slow. Machines sometimes get stuck while using the application and the main screen, feeling quite uncomfortable.

Performance ratings with software also accurately reflect hardware. If you want to use it for gaming you will have to accept the blurring performance, the frame rate is not smooth.

Batteries on Nokia 3 only last for a day if the intensity of use is low. When using the machine to surf the web and social networking over the mobile network, take pictures, play light games … my Nokia 3 usually only in the afternoon is weak battery. Maybe the 2630 mAh battery is not enough to ensure comfortable use. When turned off the screen costs about 1% per hour, acceptable level with the Android phone.

On the software side, the Nokia version does not feature many features. The machine uses Android’s nearly native software, a simple, intuitive interface and no built-in junk software. The pre-installed Android 7 version also offers some new features such as split screen for parallel use, adjustable display size, or quick settings in the notification bar.

On this phone, only three features may be the feature added by HMD Global, activated in the Gesture and Motion section of the installation. Specifically, these are the features for you to double-click the home button to open the camera application, turn the phone upside down to reject the call or pick up the phone to turn off the call volume.

As mentioned above, due to weak configuration, sometimes the Nokia 3 software is stopped, stuck. This is a common problem with machines with weak configurations, and Nokia has not fully overcome this problem. Stability, smoothness is also a problem with most low-end machines at the same price range as the Nokia 3.

Conclude

Perhaps the most impressive feature of the Nokia 3 is the design and … the name. The handset is well-designed, sharp lines, solid materials and looks are still a bit of the Nokia Lumia earlier. The camera is a bit bad in software but the image quality is also acceptable. Besides, the familiar notification sounds also somewhat reminiscent of using a Nokia phone in the past.

The rest of the elements of Nokia 3 are nothing outstanding. The screen is not nice, the software is minimalist, but due to weak configuration, the machine often has trouble stopping, stuck when using. The battery of this handset also does not provide long lasting use, just enough to use on average daily intensity. However, if there is only basic demand and love Nokia brand, this phone is still the cheapest option, the easiest to buy.
