Nokia 3.4 is a budget-friendly powerhouse with a large display and robust design. Priced below 3 million dong currently, this smartphone poses a formidable competition in its price range.
Let's explore what makes the Nokia 3.4 a worthwhile choice under the 3 million price range with 24h Technology!
1. Nokia 3.4 undergoes a significant design transformation
Nokia 3.4 is crafted entirely from plastic on the back and frame, paired with toughened glass on the front. An outstanding feature is the textured scratch-resistant back, providing both an impressive look and comfortable grip, a departure from the prone-to-scratches glass back.
With a gradual darkening color scheme on the sides and lighter in the middle, Nokia 3.4 resembles the metal-finished smartphones of the past, a rare sight nowadays. The phone comes in three colors: purple, black, and blue, providing a balanced and appealing visual palette.
The circular camera cluster aligns neatly with the fingerprint sensor, giving a sleek look to the compact back of Nokia 3.4 despite its 6-inch plus actual size.
Turning to the front, another impressive feature of Nokia 3.4 is its punch-hole display, a remarkable inclusion for a device priced below 3 million, with minimized bezels on all four sides.
2. Large screen for ultimate entertainment
As mentioned earlier, Nokia 3.4 adopts a punch-hole design at the top left corner, similar to many recent smartphones from other brands.
The display measures 6.39 inches, featuring an IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution. Although the resolution is not extremely high, the Nokia 3.4's display compensates with good brightness, wide viewing angles, and vibrant colors, standing out from many other screens in its price range.
With its large size and excellent quality, Nokia 3.4 provides a satisfying experience for activities like watching movies, YouTube, Facebook, and web browsing.
3. Solid Configuration in its Price Range
Nokia 3.4 is equipped with the Snapdragon 460 AIE processor, built on an 11 nm process, with a maximum speed of 1.8 GHz. It supports LTE Cat 13, Wifi 6, and the latest Bluetooth 5.1. Moreover, this processor integrates Qualcomm AI Engine, enhancing artificial intelligence processing capabilities.
In terms of benchmarks, the Snapdragon 460 outperforms its predecessor, the 450, and even competes closely with the Snapdragon 665 in CPU and GPU speed.

Therefore, basic applications and light games like Arena of Valor, Mobile Legends, etc., can still run smoothly at lower settings.
4. Versatile Multi-Feature Camera System
On another front, despite being a budget chip, Qualcomm introduces Spectra™ 340 ISP technology into the Snapdragon 460. This helps enhance image quality and detail in low-light conditions.
Alongside the imaging algorithm from Google Camera, fine-tuned by Nokia, the triple rear camera setup (13 MP + 5 MP + 2 MP) and the 8 MP front camera all deliver decent quality in this price range, meeting basic photography needs.
The images produced exhibit good detail, satisfactory dynamic range compared to other devices in its price range, and selfie photos remain distortion-free. While not exceptional, they are adequate and practical.
5. All-Day Battery Life
Nokia 3.4 features an HD+ display, a low-power processor, and a substantial 4,000 mAh battery. Consequently, the battery life on Nokia 3.4 can easily reach two days with light usage or comfortably last through a full day.
Included in the box are a charging adapter, Type-C cable, headphones, and a flexible plastic case. It's somewhat disappointing that the charging adapter outputs only 10 W, but in my opinion, a fast charger isn't a necessity since most users nowadays charge their smartphones overnight.
6. Smooth Android One Experience with Up to 2 Years of Updates
Finally, the soul of the smartphone - the operating system. Nokia 3.4 runs on the Android One interface based on Android 10. According to various sources, Android 11 is poised to be available for the Nokia 3.4 once the update is perfected for optimal performance.

Android One brings maximum simplicity and smoothness to Nokia 3.4, avoiding any unnecessary apps or features. The trade-off is the absence of many flashy features found in smartphones from various other brands.
Conclusion
The Finnish phone maker has made significant improvements to its budget smartphones, and the Nokia 3.4 is truly commendable from its specifications to design. If you're in search of an affordable smartphone with decent performance, this is a worthwhile option for your consideration!
