Before going into the review, let us see the features of Nokia 3.1 plus.
• RAM: 3 GB
• ROM: 32 GB
• Display: 6 inch (18:9)
• Resolution: 720*1440 pixels
• Rear camera: 13 MP and 5 MP
• Front camera: 8 MP
• Battery: 3500 mAh
• Dual Nano Sim (not Hybrid)
• Memory card: Dedicated slot
• Processor: MediaTek Helio P22 (Octacore: 4x2GHz + 4x1.5GHz)
• Network: 4G VoLTE (Active 4G on both sims)

Let us look into the pros:
Firstly, Nokia 3.1 plus comes with stock Android. What this means is that there is no unnecessary company provided apps that take up precious phone memory space. The operating system is basic which is liked my many users. But this is subjective, as many may also not like it.
Secondly, it has a large screen of 6 inch with aspect ratio of 18:9 with resolution of 720*1440 pixels. Although not bezel less but the video quality is good.
Thirdly, the battery capacity is good. At 3500 mAh and with stock Android the battery easily last over a day.
Fourthly, the camera is ok ok. Neither good nor bad.
Fifthly, the sim slot is not hybrid. So there is a dedicated slot for memory card. Also the phone has the facility of enabling 4G on both the sims.
Sixthly, the processor is ok ok. It has an Octacore processor, so the processor can be said to be adequate.

Now let us see the cons:
Firstly, the phone has a notorious drawback of getting hung and also the button and screen get pressed automatically. Although this does not happen always but it do happen radomly.
Secondly, when it was released, the phone was not capable of screen casting. Although with subsequent software updates the problem has been resolved.
Thirdly, the apps can only be installed in the phone memory. So with 32 GB internal storage, it puts a ceiling to how much apps can be installed.
Fourthly, given its price compared to its features, there are much better phones available in the market.

So, we can conclude that a Nokia 3.1 plus is a ok ok phone. It's biggest drawback is the hanging problem with the screen getting pressed automatically at random times.
