Under the hood, it is powered by MediaTek 6750 octa-core processor complemented with Mali-T860 MP2 GPU. Moreover, it is coupled with a bigger 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. Downside? It sports an underwhelming 2990mAh battery compared to the Nokia 2.1's whopping 4000mAh juice.
Moving on to its photography department, the 3.1 variant bounces back with its better 13-megapixel main shooter, and 8-megapixel front camera with 84.6-degree wide-angle sensor.
