Author’s Opinion
The Nokia 3.2 is a budget smartphone that comes with an affordable price tag and decent features in some aspects. The build quality, battery backup and the display quality are very good. However, it lacks in many other things like no fingerprint sensor (in 2GB variant), low-end processor, below average camera performance, etc.
Talking about the competition in this price range of around 11K, the real competitors of this smartphone are Redmi Note 7S, Redmi Y3, Realme 3, Galaxy M20 and Zenfone Max Pro M2. So, the competition in this price range is good.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone is offering features like stock Android, solid build quality, glass back, great battery and a large display. The base variant doesn’t come with a fingerprint sensor which is a major drawback and use of underpowered processor on both variants is just not acceptable at this price segment. On the other hand, the camera of the device is below average whether it is the front or the rear camera.
Overall, We don’t recommend Nokia 3.2 to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Redmi Note 7S.
