The original Nokia 3 is disappointing at most part. Yes, it’s cheap. But with its asking price, there are way better options in the market that is worth a pick. We’ve even heard some users claiming the lag on the Nokia 3 is unbearable. All thanks to its mediocre MediaTek chip.
But HMD has learned its lesson. Last year, we were presented with a new Nokia 3 iteration. The new Nokia 3.1 features a modern 18:9 aspect ratio display, better camera, chipset, and of course, Android One logo. Now, this year, HMD is stepping up more its 3-lineup.

The Nokia 3.2 will be available in Black and Steel color variant. Retail starts in May, starting at only 139 USD for the 2GB/16GB model. If you want extra memory and a fingerprint sensor, it will be worth it to pick the 3GB/32GB model for only 169 USD.
