Editorial report
Nokia 3.1 A technical sheet
The Nokia 3.1 A may suit someone looking for a phone for basic tasks who values low weight, but its battery holds less charge and it charges more slowly than most phones of its time. Its 2,990 mAh battery and 10 W charging both fall short of most phones launched around the same time.
The IPS LCD display measures 5.45 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1440 px. Its 295 ppi is below average for phones of its time, a point to weigh when considering display definition. The phone has 2 GB RAM and 32 GB storage, less than most phones from that period. Storage can be expanded with a memory card up to 128 GB.
The 8 MP rear camera has one of the lowest resolutions among phones of its time, and its f/2 aperture is worse than most. It records video at 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity includes Bluetooth 5.0, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio; navigation supports GPS, GLONASS and BeiDou. At 156 g, the phone weighs less than most phones of its time.
With a NeoScore of 3.0, the Nokia 3.1 A is a basic option for someone who prioritizes essential functions and a light phone, provided its modest battery, display and memory meet their needs.
