Nokia 3.1 Plus

“Its biggest drawbacks when compared to the competition are the meager internal storage and the poor cameras. While the latter remain usable for occasional snapshots the almost tiny internal storage was a challenge over and over again. Just 7 GB of user-accessible space is simply not enough for apps, photos, music, and other data. MicroSD storage expansion is commendable, however as long as it cannot be used as internal storage to outsource large apps and games its usability remains questionable at best.”

“While there are more powerful phones in the segment, the Nokia 3.1 Plus makes a space of its own. It's well built, has more than a day of battery life like the good old Nokia phones. Although, the 720p resolution display is a let down for that 6-inch size.”

“There are a lot of good phones you can buy under $300, but the under $200 crowd is still small. The Nokia 3.1 Plus is a solid entry. The performance is decent, battery life is great, and HMD promises to update the phone to new Android versions as they come. But the camera sets it back, negating the small wins it earns over the Moto E5 Plus (like NFC for Google Pay and a USB-C port).”

“There really is a lot to like about the Nokia 3.1 Plus for Cricket. Since it doesn't have anything in the way of big flashy features, those positives easily get drowned out, but they're very much there: the price is great, the software clean and responsive, and while a tad pedestrian I find the handset's design quite handsome. And really, if HMD had seen fit to give this version of the phone the full 3GB of RAM it got in other markets, I'd probably feel a lot better about recommending it.”
