Best Freelancers to help you Grow your Business

If you are looking for a good entry level to mid-range smartphone that is not from Tecno or Infinix, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is one model to consider especially if you are looking for a product from a prestigious global brand. We got our hands on the blue model and will be unveiling our Nokia 3.1 Plus unboxing photos and video here.

Priced around 36,000 Naira (around $100) on Jumia Nigeria, the Nokia 3.1 Plus looks well priced considering its features. Our Nokia 3.1 Plus unboxing features the model with 2GB RAM and 16GB built-in storage, but there is also a 3GB RAM / 32GB built-in storage option.

You also get dual cameras on the back, plus being AndroidOne, you get the latest flavour of Android when it becomes available. Our Nokia 3.1 Plus unit came with Android 8.1.0 (Oreo) out of the box, but once we connected to data, Android 9 Pie was waiting for us. You can checkout the full Nokia 3.1 Plus specs.

Let’s take a closer look at the charger. The charger is rated to supply up to 2A at 5V, which means it should be fast in charging the built-in 3,500 mAh battery. Having a rated input of 100V – 240V, means you can charge your phone even during low voltage.
