Just read a review on this on Thai Visa

 

Is it available in Thailand or is a review of a grey import?

Here's the tech headline on Thai Visa site

 

Nokia 3 review: Priced at less than Bt5,000, this new smartphone is ideal for a first-timer

 I have seen them on sale online at Lazada for 4000 Baht.

I am currently trying to decide whether or not to get one for my wife. There are reports of the battery not lasting through the day,

Otherwise the specs are good for a basic phone. Still trying to make my mind up.

Thanks I'm in the same position my gf has a WICO u feel go and she says it's too complicated for her AND now suddenly fingerprint has stopped working and all sorts of weird apps have started appearing.. The problem is if something appears on the screen she just accepts it and I think an OTA update has occurred for the wrong model.  I know a factory reset might fix it but she has all her contacts on this phone and a Nokia like the old one (in name) she had before might help stop her complaining that the new phone is too complicated(maybe just because it's different I suspect.(Gosh the things we do for our Thai ladies)!! One final thought I read the review but can't remember if it has OTG

[Aguda]

According to GSM Arena.com it does have OTG:

They are a good site to compare phone specs.

I hope this is helpful!

Yes thanks I agree, I always use them before I make any decisions on mobiles.

 

It sounds like it says - a good starter phone, my only concern is  the camera.I think the WICO is 13MP and I insist she always uses the phone for pics - she has a digital camera BUT never resets the date when she changes the battery hence I have 389 Gigabytes of pictures in Picasa waiting to be sorted into some sort of order. With a mobile phone camera at least every pic has more or less the correct date!

Nokia 6 has better spec than the 3.

I currently have a Nokia 1320 with windows. Been pretty good but was thinking of getting an android back up. Saw an Asus Go with 5.5 inch screen in Tesco for 2990 baht (reduced from about 5000 ) which is a lot of smartphone for the money. Unfortunately sold out on the day but might snap one up if it comes at that price again.

Used to have a friend who was a service engineer for Cray, he took his soldering iron with him everywhere. Incidentally, weren't they taken over by some graphics company?
