HMD Global recently launched two smartphones in India, the Nokia 3.4 and the Nokia 5.4. We have already tested the Nokia 5.4, which scored some points for design but didn't really back that up with performance. When I got to the Nokia 3.4, I wondered if it would feel the same. This budget-friendly model is priced at Rs. 11,999 in India. It has a more modest Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor and a smaller 4,000mAh battery, which might put it at a disadvantage compared to others at this price level, but what it has going for it is the promise of guaranteed software updates, which is rare. Should you consider the Nokia 3.4? Let's find out.
The Nokia 3.4 is a budget offering from HMD Global and is a part of the Android One Program. The body is made out of polycarbonate and has a solid build quality. The display measures 6.39-inches and has a hole punch in the top left corner. It has noticeable bezels all around with the bottom chin being considerably thicker.
HMD Global has picked the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 SoC to power the Nokia 3.4 and paired it with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It offers adequate performance and casual users will find no reason to complain. If you want to play heavy games title, you should be able to do so with the games set at medium settings.
The smartphone is slimmer than the competition and a little lighter since it packs in a 4,000mAh battery inside. The battery capacity is smaller than what the competitors pack, as a result the battery life too is slightly on the lower side. HMD Global has bundled a 5W charger in the box which is ridiculously slow and takes close to 3 hours to top the battery completely.
You get a triple camera setup on the Nokia 3.4 and it is capable of some decent shots in daylight. Lowlight camera performance isn't great. Video recording too felt below average since it lacked video stabilisation.
