HMD Global officially launched one of their newest smartphones, the Nokia 3.1 Plus, in the late quarter of 2018. Today, this device lands in the Philippines with a tight price tag.
It features a 6-inch HD+ display, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 13MP + 5MP dual rear cameras, 8MP front camera, and 3,500mAh battery. One of its main features is its inclusion in the Android One program which will provide three years of security patches and two years of OS updates.

The Nokia 3.1 Plus is priced at PHP 9,990 and can be purchased at authorized Nokia stores, kiosks, resellers, MemoXpress, and Megacellular nationwide.
The price is too much for a 2gb-3gb phone. I can buy a pocophone 6gb/128gb for 15K or less and this nokia phone costs 10K for very low specs.
That’s still 50% more pricey than this phone, it’s not even remotely the same price range.
The closer comparison would be the Honor 10 lite, that one launches for only 1k more. Samsung M series looks like it’ll land around 10k too if/when it launches here.
