Nokia 4.2, 3.2, 1 Plus and 210 hands-on review
Nokia 3.2 hands-on
The Nokia 3.2 is a successor to the Nokia 3.1 Plus. The 3.2 has a slightly larger display at 6.26" despite it not being labeled as a "Plus" model. The other difference is the switch in chipsets - the 3.1 ran a Mediatek 6720 CPU which was replaced by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 429. Finally, the 3.2 has a more seamless polycarbonate unibody design.
The front of the phone has a generously large display and a 4,000 mAh battery to go along with it so you should be getting at least a full day and a half of battery life. Unlike the previous phones where the Nokia branding was at the upper right-hand corner, the 3.2 features it on the thicker bottom bezel. In order to keep the upper bezel small, Nokia used a water-drop style notch which houses the 5MP front-facing camera.
On the left side is a dedicated Google Assistant key to instantly initiate voice commands. The power key is directly across on the right side just below the volume keys.
Just like the 4.2, the 3.2 has the pulsing notification light around the power key.
At the bottom is a microUSB port for charging, an in-call microphone, and downward-firing loudspeaker. A 3.5mm headphone jack sits atop the phone. Around back there's a single 13MP main camera.
As for software, the 3.2 comes with Android Pie out of the box and uses the Android One UI so Android updates will be quick and frequent. There are two versions available, one with 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM, and another with 3GB RAM + 32GB ROM.
Finally, let's take a look at the Nokia 4.2. This is a device with many features you'd normally find on a premium phone for less than €200. Next up, let's take a look at Nokia's new entry-level smartphone.

I love the phone but it's sad that when I want to record a conversation it allows the other end receiver to know I want to start recording. Wtf who does that what then is the essence of making a record if it's not for personal use. 🤨
