One of the first Nokia phones to run on Android, the Nokia 3 brings to the table a set of specs that categorizes it as a mid-ranger. Its polycarbonate body with an aluminum frame houses a quad-core Mediatek MTK6737 processor, which records a processor speed of 1.3GHz 
. Its integrated Li-ion 2650mAh battery 
sits in between that of the Google Pixel's (2770mAh) and the iPhone 7's sub-average 1960 mAh battery.
Despite its mid-range specs, it puts up a facade of looking like a premium phone. It has a sleek design and is available in four color schemes (Silver White, Matte Black, Tempered Blue, and Copper White). Its 5-inch IPS LCD screen is armored with 2.5D sculpted Corning Gorilla Glass . It leans more on the thicker side in comparison to most phones, having an 8.48mm depth (8.68mm including the camera bump) . This adds a point to the cons of this phone.
It may not be the best camera-wise, but its front and rear snappers are fairly decent for a mid-range phone. The 8-megapixel rear camera might not be that spectacular, but its 8-megapixel selfie cam is something worth calling home about. It beats some flagship phones, such as the LG V20, which has a 5-megapixel selfie cam, and the iPhone 7, which has a 7-megapixel front shooter. The main camera features include Auto-focus, LED flash, and an f/2 aperture.

Making it to the pros and cons list is its 2GB RAM , which beats that of many mid-range phones, which usually come with 1GB RAM. A few models even come with less than 1GB RAM. The Nokia 3 is also equipped with a 16GB memory, which can be expanded to up to 128GB using a microSD card. It also offers Near Field Communication (NFC aids in the setting up Bluetooth connection by simply tapping the devices together).

Having identified some of the Nokia 3's pros and cons, it can be said that Nokia 3 seems to target those who are looking for a mid-range phone that appears classy on the outside. This smartphone may also be for avid selfie-takers who would not mind average specs on a phone.
