Best Jumia Tech Week Deals

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.

Notice that Latest Android is also written on the box. This is because, the Nokia 3.1 Plus is androidone, which means you will get the latest Android flavour when it becomes available. Our unit came with Android 8.1 Oreo, but once we connected to internet, we got notification that Android 9 Pie is available for download.

In case you are itching to find out more of the key features, here they are:

  • 6.0-inch, IPS Touchscreen, 1440 X 720 pixels
  • Android 8.1 Oreo, Android 9 Pie Ready for download
  • Octa-core MediaTek Hello P22 CPU with 2GB/3GB RAM

  • Dual 13MP + 5MP rear camera and 8MP front camera
  • 4G LTE
  • Fingerprint scanner (rear)
  • microUSB port
  • 3, 500 mAh non removable Li-ion battery

Let’s pull out the cover and catch the first glimpse of the smartphone.

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.

You can see the 6.0-inch IPS display in front and the 8 megapixel camera to the left of the earpiece. Notice also that the phone seems bezeless as the screen blends perfectly with the edges.

Flip to the back, you see the two rear cameras (13MP + 5MP) lined up vertically with the flash. You will also see the fingerprint sensor.
