Reviews for the Nokia C3

Nokia C3 Review
Source: The Mobile Indian English Archive.org version
The Nokia C3 does want to capture the budget market but in our opinion it fails to do so as the competition provides much better value for a much lesser price.

60% Nokia C3 Review
Source: NDTV Gadgets English Archive.org version
I think it's pretty apparent by now that the Nokia C3 doesn't offer the best value for money, especially the 3GB variant that's priced at Rs. 8,999. I think the Realme Narzo 10A (Review) or even the Narzo 20A, which we're currently testing, would be much better alternatives. Apart from decent build quality and a clean Android experience, the Nokia C3 doesn't have enough going in its favour to justify this price. The performance is middling, battery life is weak, cameras aren't good, and it looks a bit old-fashioned.

5.99":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Nokia: Nokia is a Finnish company founded in 1865 and headquartered in Finland. The company is known for its telecommunications equipment and cell phones. Nokia was one of the leading manufacturers of cell phones in the 1990s and has expanded its business into networking and technology solutions in recent years. 

In 2011, Nokia partnered with Microsoft on Windows-based cell phones and sold the entire cell phone division to Microsoft in 2014, which limited the Nokia brand name to basic cell phones. In 2016, Finnish electronics manufacturer HMD Global entered into a licensing agreement with Nokia, bought the remaining Nokia name rights from Microsoft Mobile, and since 2017 has exclusively offered Nokia cell phones worldwide, which are based on Android, among other things, and are produced by Foxconn.


60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
