The Nokia brand has seen a lot of ups and downs, but they have returned stronger. Their widespread adoption of Android and the latest line of products demands a lot of respect for a few key reasons. Most Nokia phones are built like tanks and they resemble the kind of reliability of the previous Lumia products, when Microsoft ran the show. Nokia is not competing on all price brackets, and that is a good thing. Their focus seems to be on making solid products at competing prices and being great at that. Priced at about Rs. 11,999*, the new Nokia 3.4 fits perfectly into the budget of many. Anyone looking for a reliable phone that they can use for an extended period without an upgrade should take a closer look at the Nokia 3.4.
The Nokia 3.4 is available in three attractive colours, Dusk, Charcoal and Fjord. Customers can choose one that suites their style and preference. The Charcoal one looks modest while the Dusk has a purplish look to it; it’s unique. The Fjord stands out by far with its classy and bright blue colour. There is also textured finish to the back so not only does it look better than other devices, but it also grips to your hand easily. The insides are metal, so you know you can feel confident holding the Nokia 3.4 in your hands.
The Nokia 3.4 isn’t all about its looks and reliability, it also packs a punch. Many of us like the sound of having a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor in our new smartphones. Inside the Nokia 3.4, runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor, which uses 8 cores to propel it through all daily tasks. The phone also comes with 4GB of RAM, which is more than enough to run all the apps you want. Qualcomm even claims it is some 70 per cent faster than the outgoing generations of this processor. With enhancements in the AI components, you will be able to appreciate the performance you get in apps that use AI to get things done. You will be surprised by the number of apps that use AI these days – cameras, image editors, even chatting and voice assistant apps.
Users interface with its 6.39-inch HD+ screen, which only has a tiny punch-hole camera on the left top. You won’t be distracted by its presence since it’s hidden away most of the time. The benefits however are spectacular. The 6.39-inch display lets you enjoy movies and TV shows. That makes for great entertainment no matter where you are – traveling or lazing around at home on a slow weekend. You can also play games on this phone and the screen certainly helps elevate that experience. The phone has 64GB of internal storage, which is good enough for apps, but if you are the kind of person who plays a lot of games, and prefers storing music, movies, and apps on the device, you can extend the storage right up to 512GB using a microSD card.
No modern smartphone is complete without a set of good cameras. The Nokia 3.4 ships with an 8MP front-facing camera. That resolution is enough for getting great selfies and for making video calls. The rear cameras are of more interest since that’s what most of us use for our Instagram uploads. There are dual-13MP cameras, with a 2MP depth sensor and a 5MP ultra-wide camera. They work together through the camera app, with some help of AI Imaging tech to deliver you great results. The range of photos you can click are spectacular. The Nokia 3.4 should capture great, wide landscapes and photos of cramped indoors without any trouble. The depth sensor should help render great bokeh shots once imagined only possible with DSLRs.
Not everything is new though. The all-familiar headphone jack is present too and that’s a good thing. Simply carry a pair of wired earphones and plug it in, and you are ready to go. None of that nonsense about charging your earphones, connecting them. There is even FM capability, once you plug in the wired earphones. Other standard features are present, namely Wi-Fi 802.11n and Bluetooth 4.2. Some new upgrades can be appreciated too, such as the Type-C port which makes charging and plugging in the phone easy. The Nokia 3.4 ships with Android 10, and the Android 11 is expected shortly through the first quarter of 2021.
The battery life is claimed to be 2 days under Nokia’s test conditions, but on paper, it is a 4,000 mAh unit. That is up to the standards of most phones in this price range. Security is a major concern these days, and Nokia offers up to 3 years of monthly security updates. You also get software updates, and Nokia’s Android interface is neat and void of unnecessary bloatware apps. It stays true to Google’s idea of Android. Nokia even boasts of Family Link, which allows you to limit your screen time and sets rules for how much you use your phone. This feature is particularly useful if the Nokia 3.4 is to be used by younger users.
The Nokia 3.4 is another serious contender for phones in this price bracket. If you are in the market for a phone that is all about reliability, impressive performance, the Nokia 3.4 is it.
