These aren't designed to take on flagship phones like the HTC 10 or Samsung Galaxy S7, these are designed to cut into the belly of Android, offering quality phones to those in the €100-300 price bracket and doing so while still offering quality.
Display:
The displays on the Nokia models are a fairly predictable stepped positioning. The Nokia 6 has a 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 pixels, 403ppi. The Nokia 5 has a 5.2-inch 1280 x 720 pixel display, 282ppi. Nokia 3 has a 5-inch 1280 x 1080 pixel display, 284ppi.
All these are the same IPS LCD and they all appear to be bright and vibrant. The Nokia 5 is perhaps the weakest, sitting in the middle, bettered by the Nokia 6 both in terms of resolution and size. The Nokia 3 retains the HD resolution at 5-inches, which although a little low, fits its budget pricing.
Hardware:
The Nokia 6 and the Nokia 5 are fairly closely matched, with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 chipset. Nowever, the 6 has the most RAM with 3GB (and 4GB on Arte Black) and the most storage at 32GB (64GB for Arte Black).
The Nokia 3 is powered by the MediaTek 6737 chipset with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage; the Nokia 5 also has 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. All the Nokia phones offer microSD card support to expand storage.
The Nokia 6 and the Nokia 5 both have a fingerprint scanner on the front, which the Nokia 3 misses out on.
All the phones offer Micro-USB for charging and a 3.5mm headphone socket.
