Very Good Music Playback, Stylish Looks, Bundled 2GB Memory Card, Simple to Use UI
Very Poor Screen, Average Camera, No GPS, WiFi or 3G, Sluggish UI
I can’t help but feel that the Nokia X3 feels a little out of place. In spite of being a good phone for listening to music, the X3 doesn’t seem to have much else going for it. Especially, if you consider that at the X3’s price of Rs. 6,700 you will fi...
Decent design and build, great audio quality, powerful loudspeakers
Outdated interface design, display has poor viewing angles, average camera, basic web browsing capabilities
The Nokia X3 is a good music phone but apart from that it doesn't do anything particularly great. Priced at Rs. 6,500, it's a bit expensive as well. Samsung offers a lot more value for money handsets that provide more features and better all-round perf...

Great battery life; convenient music features; inexpensive; microSD slot; 3.5mm audio port.
No 3G; flat keypad is not great; FM reception for some stations is spotty; basic camera features.
Abstract: We have to admit the Nokia X3 is a tough sell, and that has almost nothing to do with the competition. In fact, there are only few top manufacturers that take music phones as seriously as Nokia. So, whether it’s XpressMusic or X3 (we like that one bet...
A good and inexpensive phone for listening to music, the Nokia X3's lack of a touchscreen means it falls behind similarly priced rivals. Concerns about the screen aside there's nothing wrong with the X3, and if you prefer a slider phone with hardware ...
Abstract: hese days it’s quite refreshing to have a phone you can switch on and ‘boot up’ in a matter of seconds, as against a minute or two on many smartphones. However, such simplicity comes at a price - although in this case that isn’t much, given that the ph...
The Nokia X3 is not a world-beating phone. It's not the future and it won't stun anyone with its feature set, especially the average camera and lack of 3G browsing speeds. What it is though is a solid, music-based workhorse of a phone that does what i...
Abstract: Music on a budget is the order of the day with the Nokia X3, and while much of what is on offer here matches the relatively low price of the handset, suspect call quality and poor viewing angles on the screen make us think we might steer clear. Nokia ...
Good quality music player software, Decent in-ear bud earphones, 3.5mm headphone socket, 2GB MicroSD card supplied in-box, Simple interface and email set-up
Lacklustre call performance, Lack of 3G or Wi-Fi, Mediocre camera performance, No GPS for Maps software, Low-grade video capture
As a budget mobile, the X3 has a lot going for it - but at times it tries to do too much. Decent for media but poor for calling, you might want to pay a little more to get a better mobile...
Abstract: If you like the idea of the Nokia X6 but think that prices of £449 SIM free for the 32GB Comes With Music Edition and £299 SIM free for the 16GB version are on the steep side, then you might want to give the £129 SIM free X3 a second glance. The price...
