With fewer reflections thanks to the polarized screen, the experience is crisp and clear offering unbeatable visibility even in bright sunlight.

And with unlimited free cloud storage via Google Photos[i], you can capture those special moments safe in the knowledge that every moment you capture can be automatically and securely backed up.

We’ve been extremely thoughtful about the overall performance of the Nokia 3, to ensure that a premium high-quality experience is fully accessible for everyone,” says Joseph Umunakwe, General Manager, HMD Global, West, East, and Central Africa. “We’ve thought hard about how the phone will be used, and then crafted a beautiful device to make sure it looks as good as it performs.”
With the Nokia 3, you will have a pure Android experience for your device. With monthly security updates your Nokia 3 is safe, up-to-date as well as clutter-free – putting choice at the heart of the consumer experience. And with the latest Android comes the latest features including Doze, which saves battery life while the phone is stored. The new Nokia 3 features Google’s most recent innovation, the Google Assistant, building further on a great Android experience. Our teams have worked together to ensure conversations with the Google Assistant happen seamlessly on Nokia smartphones.
