Nokia 3.2 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5
Verdict
To summarise, the Nokia 3.2 has four things working in its favour — a solid build, large display, beefy battery and offline availability. It`s pretty evident now that the Nokia 3.2 could be an ideal phone for users who simply want a no-frills daily driver. A large screen, HD+ resolution that`s easy on the battery and massive 4,000mAh cell is an ideal mix for this very purpose.However, if you are looking for a device that can handle intensive tasks and PUBG sessions, I would suggest you look elsewhere. With a price tag of Rs 8,990 for the base variant, the Nokia 3.2 goes up against the likes ...

With a price tag of Rs 8,990 for the base variant, the Nokia 3.2 goes up against the likes of the Realme 3 (review) and ASUS ZenFone Max M2. Things become even more difficult if you are considering the 3GB RAM model that retails at Rs 10,790, as there are some compelling options such as the Xiaomi Redmi Y3 (review), Samsung Galaxy M20 (review), Redmi Note 7S (first impressions) and Realme U1 (review). To answer the questions I asked in the intro, the Nokia 3.2 does little to compete with the rivals. Having said that, if you are looking for a large-screened, no-nonsense Android phone with the promise of updates for the next two years that can be purchased from a neighbourhood retailer, then the Nokia 3.2 fits the bill.
Pros
- A robust design
- Large display
- Hefty battery
- Stock Android
Cons
- Underpowered processor
- Sub-par camera performance
- No fast charging support

Design and display
+
If you look at the current crop of budget smartphones, diamond patterns, gradient hues and glossy mirror finishes are the order of the day. While it's difficult to tell one smartphone from another in this segment, the Nokia 3.2 manages to stand out by being too plain, which works in its favour (maybe?). The solid marble slab-like construction also comes across as a breath of fresh air in comparison to flashy smartphones. Despite being carved out of polycarbonate, the Nokia 3.2 has a good confidence-inspiring heft to it. While I have the sedate black colourway, Nokia is also offering the phone in a steel hue.

While the Nokia 3.2 borrows design elements from its sibling, on the camera front it is missing a secondary shooter. The smartphone features a single 13-megapixel shooter with LED flash. For selfies, the dot notch on the front houses a 5-megapixel snapper. Since the Nokia 3.2 is an Android One device, the camera interface is pretty straightforward. You will find selfie toggle, shutter button and preview gallery in that order from left to right at the bottom. Above that is the mode selection grid button, photo, video and beauty mode buttons. Up top, you will see the settings menu, self-timer, HDR and flash toggle.

At the beginning of this review, I mentioned how Nokia manages to distinguish itself from the likes of Realme and Redmi with its subtle-yet-solid design. The Nokia 3.2 also stands out in terms of performance, but this time by the virtue of being underpowered. Both aforementioned brands have recently launched smartphones equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 6XX series or equivalent chipsets. Therefore, it surprised me to see that Nokia 3.2 has Snapdragon 429 chipset ticking at its core. I have the 3GB + 32GB variant with me, which performed relatively well except for a few jitters every now and then. However, the mileage might vary for those who opt for 2GB + 16GB variant of the phone. On the storage front, the 32GB model offers 19GB out of the box, which can be further expanded up to 400GB.
