Can’t decide on a good Nokia phone under a budget? Let me advise you.

Try the Nokia 3.4! I tested the performance, battery, display, operating system, and camera. The results were simply phenomenal!

The long-lasting battery is a great selling point for the Nokia 3.4, but its main strength lies in its performance. It’s noticeably better than similar phones on the market, and the camera features are good considering the price. 

Read on for a more detailed review!

Design – Nice and Sturdy

All in all, it’s a pretty solid phone. Nokia 3.4 has got a nice weight to it. So, it feels sturdy in my hand. However, there was a negative aspect that I discovered only after purchase. It doesn’t have Corning Gorilla Glass protection, so be cautious! 

It will break if you drop it.

Performance – Definite Improvement

Considering its budget, Nokia 3.4 has a pretty good performance. It has a decent chipset. The GPU is Adreno 610 which is excellent. This allowed me a good gaming experience.

The only regret I felt was that Nokia 3.4 tends to heat up quite a bit. So, it’s necessary to not overload the phone. 

Battery Life – Long-Lasting

Nokia 3.4 is a battery life miracle. Not sure what kind of sorcery they used to fit a 4000 mAh battery into such a slim phone, but it’s quite phenomenal nonetheless. 

With light usage, two days’ worth can be easily taken out of a single charge. Even with heavy usage, the phone can still last a full day without needing to recharge.

And when it does come time to recharge, the 10 W charging speed is quite fast. Other phones take forever to charge, so the Nokia 3.4 is a nice change of pace. Overall, the battery life is one of the best things about this phone. 

Software – Welcome Change

Nokia 3.4 runs on Android 10.

Highly appreciative of the new Live Caption feature. It’s similar to YouTube. I was able to get captions for any video in the gallery. That’s really handy when watching a video and wanting to know what’s being said.

Furthermore, there has been an upgrade in the features. The Share segment has been redesigned on Android 10 and it’s much better than previous versions. It launches faster and it’s easier to find a sharing destination. That’s definitely a welcome change. 

Camera – Not The Best

A person doesn’t need to be a professional photographer to know about cameras. The camera quality of the Nokia 3.4 is good for the price range but it’s not the best. It has a triple camera system with a 13 MP main camera.

At the time of buying, I was unaware of the panorama feature in the phone. Only after purchase, it was discovered. It was a welcome surprise. The reason is that it’s helpful in taking artistic photos.  

It’s also really easy to use, which is awesome for people who aren’t used to more complicated cameras.

FAST FACTS

Best For:
Photography and Gaming

Battery:

About the Brand:

Final Word

Nokia 3.4 is a good entry-level phone. Although the long-lasting battery is definitely a plus point plus, the main selling point of Nokia 3.4 is its decent performance. The performance is cut above the rest of the competition. 

Furthermore, the camera features are also satisfactory considering its budget.

In my opinion, this makes it a valuable choice in its price range. I’d say go get it!
