Nokia 3.1 Plus Quick Review
Starting out the phone’s design, you have a well-cut out aluminium-framed device which weighs averagely at 180g. Given its entry-level status, a notch design wouldn’t have been expected, and HMD Global did just that. They didn’t include a notch in its design. However, that didn’t hinder its bezel-less design from raking a 77.5% screen-to-body ratio that adds to its appealing expression.
Functioning as bright as a button in the power department is the MediaTek Helio P22. The chipset utilizes eight of ARM Cortex-A53 cores that clock at 2.0GHz. Also, PowerVR GE8320 GPU works out the graphics finesse displayed by this smartphone.
Speaking of content to display, an HD+ resolution is relayed by the phone’s screen to ensure viewing pleasure is optimized. Moreover, the device basks in a 6-inch touchscreen with 18:9 aspect ratio that serves as the display.
