I am really impressed with the quality of the build on the phone for such a low price. It is a budget phone, so of course it is not the fastest phone, but then I doubt if any budget phone is. The screen is really nice, the camera seems good for a budget phone, the size is nice and very thin, and it feels really solid. I like that it uses a USB C as well and comes stock with Android 9. Hopefully it will pick up Android 10 in 2020. It is also great that it has 32g instead of the more common 16g in low end phones. I bought it for my wife. She basically just makes calls, takes a few pictures, texts, and uses a few apps. And she did not want to spend much. This phone looked like the best fit for our ATT service. I just swapped out the SIM from her old phone before we turned it on, went through the setup, and she was ready to go. It is a prepaid phone, but it is working perfect on our Post Paid ATT plan.

I did a review earlier gave phone 5 stars but I'm now giving it 4 because I found out once they upgraded this phone it no longer can but games on the sd card. Pictures and videos yes but since you can't put games on it I think the 128 expandable memory is misleading. I still think it's a great phone even with the 32 GB of memory for the price you pay. Has a lot of nice features once you learn how to use them.

Replaced my sons LG3 that was starting to get laggy and not holding a charge. The camera has android 9 and my son has no complaints. We replace his phone every 1 to 2 years. At $80, you can’t beat the price.

The 32GB alone was enough for me to rate this phone at 4 stars. It's very easy to use, the "Do Not Disturb" does not interfere with my notification mirroring apps, and the battery lasts for a long while. Since I mostly use my phone via my PC (using a mirroring app called SCRCPY), I find that it fits what I need very well. I'm not much of a gamer, so most of my apps are things like fantasy sports, TV/Radio, and financial. These run great. The only thing I've noticed is that the updates seem slow - not the download speed, but the installation. Other than that, this is a good prepaid phone. I've added 64GB to it for storing music, videos, pictures - so far, so good.

less than $80. did a simple Sim swap and BOOM latest greatest android OS. Screen is big enough plenty of memory for MOST users Everything was an upgrade from the older Motorola the wife was using. The best part is it didn't cost 600+ dollars.
Cons I really wish ATT would allow users to eliminate the bloatware and free up the memory for app we actually use.

I'm no technophile but I do extensive research when it comes down to the phone I am purchasing and to be honest, this might be the best bang for your buck. Every other phone around that low budget price range for at&t can be leave u dissatisfied unless your using it strictly for one purpose. This phone is more of a greater option when keeping a phone like this for the long run it's a contender for sure!

I am on prepaid and have only been able to get 16 GB phones with the price I was looking for. I was happy to find a 32 GB in my price range. I haven't had it long but so far it's a great phone. I like that the charger is the kind that you can put it in either way and not have to sit there and figure out which way it goes!

This is a great phone. I owned a Nokia Windows phone years ago and always wanted another Nokia since I feel Nokia is a reputable brand and their phones have good cameras. So I was so glad when this Nokia 3.1A came to AT&T. It has lived up to expectations so far. So glad it has 32GB built in, don't ever settle for a phone with only 16GB internal memory they are almost useless. As expected from a Nokia, the camera hardware is good. Android 9 is a big improvement (compared to my previous ZTE with Android 7.1) The user interface in Android 9 will take some getting used to but once you learn it you'll appreciate the improvements in it. The only negatives I can think of with this phone are for one the default camera app is a bit lacking, but luckily a popular camera app called Open Camera is compatible with this phone and improves the camera's functionality a lot. Secondly, one small negative is that the phone feels smooth and slippery on the sides and back, would have been nice if it had textured surfaces so it wouldn't slip out of your hand so easily. But overall, this phone is great for almost anybody who needs a basic quality phone.

I bought this phone because my older model Samsung Galaxy kept running short on its 8Gb of internal memory even with limited use of apps I was running and use of an SD card. The Nokia was the most cost effective and decent rated phone I could find for use with my existing ATT plan with the most memory (32Gb) to ensure I'd get some longevity from it.
It did have a bit of a learning curve over the Samsung interface but I got past that in a couple of days. The only other issue I have is that with basically only slightly more use (taking advantage of the backup capability of Google), memory consumption is currently running at nearly 50%. I question how efficient and/or the value over a 16Gb Samsung device. I'm not about to swap it out at this stage. Instead I leave it to someone who has more time than I.

For my second phone for several years have been using Samsung prepaids, which have worked well, except charge port goes out. Trying this nokia wit a USB c port. Takes some getting used to physical home button. Biggest dislike is fixed battery with less power like than Samsung. Over all good enough to use for couple of years.

There's definitely a lag with the phone, but other than that it seems good so far. Very lightweight and slender.

For the price we paid, it has seemed thus far an excellent phone. It has run quite well, with fast reaction time and no sign of anything struggling. At 32GB for memory, we have yet to run out of space though this phone does come with quite a bit extra pre-installed. Pretty good phone call quality and camera is not half bad either as long as you are just trying to take a regular pic.

I needed a prepaid phone with more storage. The 32gb is much better than the LG which only had 16gb. I did remove some apps because they took up half the storage. Love the long lasting battery

This phone has been a good phone for the last couple of months that I've owned it. Although I have had to send it in for a repair it works fine. The battery usually lasts all day but once it gets to 10% or below the phone starts to lag. Sometimes the phone lags to the point where its unusable, but i rarely run it under 10%. Overall a good phone for under $100 .
