Nokia 3.1 Plus Camera Samples: Daylight, Low Light, and Portrait Mode Photos
Budget smartphones don’t get enough attention for the camera performance, and rightfully so. As long as it works and is consistent, it is a good camera, in my opinion. So, I judged theNokia 3.1 Plusaccordingly, and I found the Nokia 3.1 Plus’ camera to be pretty good, at least for the price.
Before I talk about the photos and show you the samples, let’s take a look at the specs –
The Nokia 3.1 Plus wields dual cameras at the back – a13MP primary sensor(f/2.0 aperture) andsecondary 5MP depth sensorfor portrait shots. On the front, there’s an 8MP selfie shooter. The specs look decent on paper, right? Well, here’s how it performs in the real world –

Nokia 3.1 Plus Camera: Decent At Best
As you can see, the Nokia 3.1 Plus manages to give out somedecent looking photos. In daylight, I think the Nokia 3.1 Plus performs well. The colors are nice, and the images look good, at least when viewed in the phone. Itstruggles with the dynamic rangeand crispness, but I’ll give it a pass at this price.
I’d like to point out the camerastruggles to lock focus on a subject. Sadly, it’s no different in low-light photos and portraits as well. In addition to thefocusing issues, the Nokia 3.1 Plus camera also fails to capture images quickly. I absolutely hateshutter lag, so, I found it to be very annoying.
Coming to low light performance, the Nokia 3.1 Plus really had ahard time showing some promising results. The images turned out to be bright, but they were way too soft for my liking.Portrait photos, on the other hand, also turned out to be decent. There were some instances when I was pleasantly surprised by the output, but I wasn’t able to produceInstagram-worthyportraits.
Overall, I’d say that the Nokia 3.1 Plus’ camera is decent at best. As I mentioned earlier, just keep your expectations, especially in low light, in check, and you won’t be disappointed.
I’ll be testing out the cameras on the Nokia 3.1 Plus further for the full review, so stay tuned for that. In the meantime, you can read my first impressions of the phonehere.
