The old Samsung j3 phones where always painfully obvious that there slow

The oled screen was a nice too have
It was for the better it was a 720p screen and not a 1080p screen

It's just Nokia phones are so slow they make the Samsung j3 look good in comparison which it's not at all

But both should definitely be avoided in 2023

        The Nokia 3.1
        Nokia c01 plus

        The Samsung j3 only a plastic phone it's self and a old one at that it does have a OLED screen though that is very premium but only 720p panel

        But yeah
        When I got the Nokia 3.1 everyone was like wow it doesn't even support feature find on budget phones from last year ago from other brands

        Nokia just seen as cheap quality when people look at them or try too use them just feel so cheap and low end
        They give impression of cheap and cheerful

          On phone teardowns

          disassemble the phone to see the aluminum frame, it's not an external frame

          Nokia c01 plus

          I take the back off just clips off
          Can change battery's easily

          The phone just feels like cheap plastic there no
          external frame made of aluminum

          The back cover act as the external plastic frame that's just clips of underneath is just the phone internals

          So the back cover basically is the frame when it's taken
          Off the phone no frame at all just screen on a body stuck onto it

          All just cheap plastic everything in the open
          Changing port at top 2 sim card slots
          It's all just cheaply made

          There is few screws I didn't have the tools too undo
          So I can only do so much plastic around the sides of the phone and on inside
          The only metal I could find was the sim card tray inside the phone as it as be opened up change a sim card

          Not really sure what you was expecting from budget Nokia Phone

            Very wide bezels for this phone. Then phone size is not 5.45 inch it should be 5.90 inch. because of the bezel size.
            Nokia 1.3 design is awesome.

                    It's actually better suited for the hardware

                    Often low resolution screen the 540p or 480p TFT LCD screen are easier on the hardware

                    Low resolution screen Really do have a place on budget phones
                    Just kinda good match for soc

                    Often better optimisation then Nokia just because os choice the older os with lower screen resolution

                    Nokia phones always most laggy phones
                    Really frustrating how sluggish devices made by Nokia are as they run so much worse than you think

                    Battery life is good but trying use them
                    Just lag then ok but sooner or later they freeze up

                    The Nokia c01 plus is so slow I have jump start it with it's changer just for it boot up the os on Androidgo otherwise it's not even able power on it's own

                    That was a painful day when I thought if I just turn it on or off I get it unfreeze till got home

                    It had 70%/60% battery the minute it turned on as it had nearly full charge
                    It definitely had battery life

                      The Nokia 3.1 does definitely have a aluminium frame

                      I remember when I first got the Nokia 3.1 first thing we noticed was gives of the impression of being very cheap and cheerful

                      The thing we was surprised by is it doesn't say when it's changing or not someone we come expected from cheaper budget phones from 5 years ago

                      Nokia c01 plus
                      It feels cheaply made and squishy
                      It looks and feels more budget than it is

                      The software feels cheap as well just Nokia doesn't reflect premium in any way shape or form

                      Even the changing port at the top of Nokia c01 plus just like true ultra budget phone

                      They won't brought for there quality by me price was the main selling point too them

                      Nokia is cheapest budget phones in the UK that can be found new with bezel screen The low asking price is reason I buy them

                      disassemble them
                      Possibly in future when battery change is needed

                      I can't find any metal in Nokia c01 plus
                      That's got a removable battery not anything premium about it

                      I could of gotten a more premium built phone but settled with cheap at the time

                      I just preferd the cheapest option available that turned out too be Nokia

                        the other factor that makes that chipset run smoother is the screen resolution. 540p performs great like in galaxy j2 prime.

                          Even the cheapest Nokia phones ever made (C1, C2, 1, 1 Plus) have an aluminum inner frame. If you get to disassemble them, you can clearly notice the frame

                            The mediatek a22 in the Alcatel 2022 is a lot more powerful than mtk 6737

                            The a22 has actually won a compassion
                            It beats the mt6750 also

                            This doesn't reflect how good the a22 chipset is
                            But just how bad the others really are

                              mt6737 chipset

                              It's a soc that's very common in generic phones
                              Many of the fake clones use this mediatek processor
                              It was a old mid range soc

                              Sure is very low end soc today though
                              Running up-to-date os on this device

                              The no-name clone phones might actually be smoother than this just because android 6 actually belong on this mediatek mt6737 soc
                              But hmd global put the Nokia brand name on it

                              If £50 phone I guess it's ok
                              The ram & storage amount is good keeping price point in mind
                              If selling for just £50

                              But I got a Nokia 3.1 new for that price a year ago with nearly twice the performance on benchmarks have mt6750 but is 16rom/2ram
                              So yeah

                                i assume this uses mt6737 chipset, which can found in nokia 3

                                  But if it costs £100 it's bad

                                  Basically
                                  At least 2gb ram is usable for the basics
                                  But sluggish

                                    this would be probably useful for a door stopper. or even better, external webcam.

                                      Anonymous, 24 Feb 2023I like this phone it's simple and cheap not that simple despite its sluggishness🥴🥴

                                        does a review of this phone

                                        Some of the most valuable buying advice comes from reviews of phones like there

                                        Seeing input on actual budget phones you're topical average person can actually afford

                                        In theory this phone should be ok
                                        32/2 is usable? With Androidgo edition?

                                        The 1gb ram capacity phones are basically e-waste even androidgo can't save them
                                        Nokia c01 plus=crap

                                        however this has 2gb ram capacity so does good software optimization finally come into play with more usable hardware specs??

                                        I hope people actually give genuine reviews of the user experience on them as phones like there's get a lot of interest from buying who don't know how good or bad they are
