DESIGN
The Nokia 3.4 is standard fare for a phone made in 2020. It’s got a large, non-curved screen up front, a punch-hole selfie camera, a textured back case with a circular camera module placed above a fingerprint scanner, and a USB-C port at the bottom edge. Buttons are on the sides, and there’s a headphone jack at the top. Our review unit came in a shimmery, iridescent blue-purple when it gets hit by the light in just a certain way.
Some people might not like the plain design, but the simplicity of it appeals to me, and the textured back case gives it enough grip to keep from slipping out of your hands.
HARDWARE
The Nokia 3.4 is a modestly specced phone that was designed to handle daily tasks well. The heart of this phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 chipset that runs an octacore processor and a capable Adreno 610 GPU. It comes with up to 4 GB of RAM, and a comfortably large 6.39-inch, 720x1560 resolution screen. The main camera snaps 13 MP photos and can shoot 1080p video. Keeping the device running is a large 4000 mAh battery with 10W charging.
The 3.4 is a 4G phone with Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2 connectivity and has a dedicated microSD slot, along with dual-SIM capability.

HONOR X8B
HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
