HMD Global has launched the budget-oriented Nokia 3.1 in India today. Here are some better smartphones at a similar price range.
HMD Global has launched a new budget smartphone in India, the Nokia 3.1. The smartphone now comes with an 18:9 display. Just like the other Nokia phones, this one also runs on stock Android. The phone is launched in India with a price tag of Rs. 10,499 and will be available in Blue, Black and White colour variants.
In terms of specifications, the Nokia 3.1 features a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720x1440 pixels and an 18:9 aspect ratio. The smartphone is powered by the MediaTek MT6750 chipset which is an octa-core processor clocked at 1.5GHz. The dual-SIM handset packs in 2GB of RAM coupled with 16GB of onboard storage which is further expandable using a microSD card. The phone runs on Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box and all of this is backed by a 2,900mAh battery.
On the optics front, the Nokia 3.1 sports a 13-megapixel camera at the back with f/2.0 aperture and a LED flash. Up front, there is an 8-megapixel selfie shooter.
Nokia 3.1 sure has a solid build but the hardware underneath isn't as powerful as some of its competition. So if you are someone who cares more about the performance, take a look at these alternatives.
In case you want a stock Android experience just like the Nokia 3.1 with much better hardware, the Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1 should be your pick. The smartphone features a 5.99-inch FullHD+ display. It is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC. The device comes in 3GB+32GB and 4GB+64GB variants. The smartphone is available at a starting price of Rs. 10,999.
The Nokia 3.1 with its Rs. 10,499 price tag gives direct competition to the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 which also makes it for a great alternative. The smartphone comes with a 5.99-inch FullHD+ 18:9 display and it is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 chipset. The Redmi Note 5 is available in India at a starting price of Rs. 9,999.
Just like the Nokia 3.1, the 10.or G offers a stock Android experience with much better specifications and a lower price tag. However, what you lose here is the 18:9 panel as the 10.or G comes with a traditional 16:9 panel. The latter phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 SoC coupled with 3GB or 4GB of RAM. The smartphone is available at a starting price of Rs. 7,699.
