The user will have 16GB of internal storage, but fortunately, the smartphone carries microSD support for a further expansion.
On the camera department, the smartphone carries a 13MP rear main camera and an 8MP front-facing snapper. The Nokia 3.1 features a 5.2-inch display with 1440×720 pixels of resolution and 18:9 aspect ratio. Everything is fueled by a 2,900mAh battery that considering all the specifications can be considered adequate. Despite the support of LTE, the chipset lacks the necessary bands for US 4G, so it will only work through GSM carriers such as AT&T and T-Mobile. Of course, this may be a deal breaker for a lot of potential costumers.
HMD hasn’t disclosed any details about this United States release, but considering that retailers are already listing it, then the launch should be imminent.
