Nokia 5.1 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus launched in India.IBTimes India/YouTube

Earlier this month, HMD Global Oy unveiled Nokia 3.1 Plus and it is now finally available for purchase in India from October 19.

It is a budget Android One smartphone and flaunts massive 6.0-inch HD+ screen with 18:9 aspect ratio guaranteeing cinematic viewing experience and on the back, it sports Aluminium rear cover with matt finish on the back, which is uncommon in this segment.

Inside, Nokia 3.1 Plus houses a MediaTek Helio P22 octa-core backed by 2GB/3GB RAM, 16GB/32GB storage (expandable up to 400GB via microSD card) and runs pure Android Oreo. One of the perks of being an Android One series is that it will get the latest update without delays and it will soon be getting Google's recent Android Pie update.

As far as the photography hardware is concerned, it comes with a 13MP+5MP dual camera with LED flash on the back. Users can even adjust the blurriness of the Bokeh effect even after taking the photo. And on the front, it is an equally impressive 8MP selfie snapper.

Another notable attribute of the device is the battery. Nokia 3.1 Plus comes with a 3,500mAh cell, which is enough to keep the phone running for more than a day easily under regular usage.
