Stock Operating System
Before now, people are expecting that when Nokia will make a comeback, their handset will still have a custom skin running on top the stock OS. However, the Nokia 3 comes with a pleasant surprise, because it is running on the latest Android 7.0 Nougat operating system.
Cons
Poor Battery
One of the cons of this device is its battery, which is just merely 2650mAh. While the battery might look small on its rating, since it is coming from Nokia, it might eventually have a long lasting capacity.
Plastic Body
This is one big drawback in the Nokia 3, which might make buyers to have a second thought. While the chassis of the device is aluminum, the rear panel is just a flimsy plastic panel.
