Nokia,
the mobile phone brand licensed to Finnish start-up HMD Global, on
October 11 launched the Nokia
3.1 Plus at Rs in India. The budget smartphone is the third
Nokia-branded device to get a design and specification upgrade this
year. The others are the Nokia 5.1 Plus (review) and the Nokia 6.1
Plus (review). The Nokia 3.1 Plus will be available in blue, white
and baltic colour options and will come in two RAM and storage
configurations – 2GB/16GB and 3GB/32GB. The phone is priced at Rs
11,499 for the 16GB variant. It will go on sale only via offline
channels starting October 19.
Design
and display
This
is one area where the Nokia 3.1 Plus has improved significantly when
compared with the second-generation Nokia
3-series smartphones. The phone sports a mammoth 6-inch screen of
HD+ resolution covered under 2.5D curved glass.
Interestingly,
the screen does not feature any notch, which gives it a distinct look
and the modern 18:9 aspect ratio accentuates the overall outlook
without compromising on the overall form factor.
The
back has a unibody design with matte finish that gives it a good grip
to hold and operate. Unlike the predecessor, the phone has a
dual-camera module on the back that looks similar to the one seen in
the Nokia 6.1 Plus, and a fingerprint sensor below it. The camera
module and fingerprint rim are accentuated by a silver lining on
their borders, improving the overall appeal of the otherwise regular
look of the phone’s back.
Camera
The
Nokia 3.1 Plus has a dual-camera module on the back, featuring a
13-megapixel primary sensor of f/2.0 aperture size and 1.12 micron
pixel size, mated with 5MP depth-sensing lens of f/2.4 aperture size
and 1.12 micron pixel size. There is an 8MP camera of f/2.2 aperture
size on the front for selfies.
Technical
details aside, the primary camera unit in the Nokia 3.1 Plus seems to
be an improvement over the singular camera lens in the predecessor.
The front camera also seems slow in processing information, resulting
in blurred images. Though the output seems sub-optimal in the first
impression, a detailed account on the camera performance would be
reserved until we do a full review.
