 Archive.org versionIt may look like one of the best cheap phones on the market but the Nokia 3 is style over substance, struggling with long load times and poor battery life.

 Archive.org versionWe had high hopes for the Nokia 3, but the final phone is a bit of a disappointment. We can't deny that it looks absolutely fantastic for the price, and we're fans of Nokia's decision to stick to stock Android, but it's just cut too many corners on the internal specs to make the 3 stand out amid a fiercely competitive budget smartphone market.

 Archive.org versionAt £130, there isn't much direct competition, aside from the 2016 Motorola Moto G4, which you can still buy for £140. But, as long as you don't mind buying a generation-old phone, the Moto is the better choice. It has a bigger, higher-resolution screen, faster performance, a better camera and superior battery life.

 Archive.org versionIt’s perfectly functional as a backup phone – decent battery life means it can happily be thrown into a bag and forgotten about during a festival or camping holiday – but there are better choices out there for anything more. The Moto G5 isn’t much more expensive and offers a 1080p screen, much snappier Snapdragon CPU, a camera that’s surprisingly good and a fingerprint scanner. There’s also the Wileyfox Swift 2 and a good selection of carrier-locked options from Vodafone.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 is now available in India priced at Rs. 9,499. It is a good-looking smartphone, and also supports 4G with VoLTE. One big positive point is that the company has promised future Android updates. Overall performance and camera results aren't its biggest highlights. We also missed a fingerprint scanner, which really should be a standard feature now.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 feels like the wrong first step for a new Nokia. We accept that there's a great demand for phones that are affordable, but with the likes of Motorola offering some great devices around this price or a fraction higher, it's hard to see how the Nokia 3 competitively fits into the equation.

 Archive.org versionAt the end of the day, the Nokia 3 is a well-designed phone that catches the eye, but this impression turns out to be only superficial. Using the phone reveals many shortcomings: the stuttery, underpowered performance, the camera that is completely inept in video and one terribly imbalanced display. If you are on the hunt for that perfect cheap phone… well, who knows if it even exists, but we know that it most likely is not the Nokia 3.

 Archive.org versionIf 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.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 has the looks of one of the best cheap phones on the market but under scrutiny it struggles with long load times and poor battery life. If you value style over substance as well as saving a quick buck, it may be right for you.

 Archive.org versionBuying on a budget is always a compromise, but there's a lot to like about the Nokia 3. It punches above its weight in the looks department and the inclusion of NFC is a plus. Unskinned Android with the promise of regular updates will also go down well with many potential buyers, but the screen resolution is disappointing.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 sacrifices too much processing power to achieve its low price. You’re better off spending a bit more on the Motorola Moto G5.

 Archive.org versionWe’re strangely excited about the Nokia 3 considering the fact that it’s budget and there’s nothing particularly innovative about it. It’s just a really good all-rounder with such a great price tag that it’s hard not to recommend to anyone not wanting to spend loads to get the best smartphone tech available. We think this is going to a hugely popular new handset and we wouldn’t be surprised if it knocks the Moto G out of the top spot in our budget smartphone chart.

 Archive.org versionOn the whole, Nokia 3 seems to be a decent start for the company’s Android smartphone journey. This budget Nokia phone from HMD ticks most of the factors in good terms, except for a few shortcomings. Having said that, at this price point, you can get other smartphones with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets. If you spend more and wait for some time, you can get the Nokia 6 that will be available soon from Amazon India with much better specifications.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 has every prospect to sell equally well. But even if it flops, the little budget Nokia shouldn't really be more than a tiny snag on the tracks of the massive hype train HMD is currently piloting. All eyes are now fixed on the company's eagerly-anticipated flagship offer. It could really make or break the reinvented Nokia brand, so be sure to keep close taps on those developments.

 Archive.org versionThe Nokia 3 is not a perfect smartphone. Its performance could have been better. The cameras are average and the battery life, while decent, is not mind-blowing. The Nokia 3 is not for enthusiasts or those who push their devices.

 Archive.org versionNokia 3 is one of the most awaited device of 2017 but unfortunately Nokia 3 has not surprised me with it’s any feature. We have explained its every feature in Nokia 3 Review – 2017. The price is very affordable by which it can hit the users otherwise it has very normal specifications. I have found its camera results are very weak and the battery should be bigger. We were expecting a lot more from Nokia because it is Nokia not any other company. Body and shape wise, Nokia 3 is very solid and strong furthermore it has very light weight.
