Software, Design, Display
Nokia 3 is a 4G enabled dual SIM smartphone which runs on the version 7 of Android (Nougat) out of the box.

Performance, Hardware, Cameras
Under its hood sits a quad-core MediaTek chipset (MT6737) clocked at 1.4GHz and an accompanying Mali-T720 GPU for pushing graphics. Alongside those is 2 gigabytes of RAM for multitasking and ensuring you have a lag-free experience on the device.
Storage-wise, you’re gonna have to make do with the 16GB of space that ships with the device. If that would not suffice, you can throw in a microSD card to expand the space.
Supplying power to the device is a 2630 mAh Li-Ion battery which is non-removable by the way, and thanks to the device’s lack of the type C connector, you’d have to rely on a microUSB 2.0 cord to juice to the device at a peak input of about 2A.
For snaps, the front facing lens is an 8 MP shooter without its own LED flash light and at the back is a camera with another 8 MP lens accompanied by an LED flash light beneath it for providing illumination in low-lit environments.
