When deciding on whether to buy NOKIA 4.2 or ALCATEL 3 (2019), a very important consideration is the price. So we’re going to spend a bit of time looking at the price of both.

To start with, we looked at the price of the 382 products in the same category as NOKIA 4.2, which is the Mobile Phones category. Of these 382 products the average price was £336.59, the most expensive was £1449 and the cheapest was just £2.97. We then looked at the price of the 382 in the same as the ALCATEL 3 (2019), which of course the average was £336.59, top price was £1449 and cheapest £2.97.

We then looked specifically at the average price of products from Nokia and Alcatel, the average was £94.99 for Nokia, £99.99 for Alcatel. The max for each was £149.99/£149.99 and minimum was £69.99/£19.99

  • The features you wantWith a curved glass screen and better than HD display, the Nokia 4.2 looks beautiful, and it makes all your apps and videos look great too. And with a dedicated Google Assistant button, whether you need help finding a restaurant or just want to check cinema times, Google Assistant is ready to help. All you need to do is ask – it couldn’t be easier.From snap to upload with no stopsTwo cameras on the back might be fairly standard on new phones, but not how the Nokia 4.2 does it. You’ve got a 13MP main camera, plus a depth-sensing camera. So once you’ve taken the perfect shot, you can add a fancy blurred background. No editing apps needed.And let’s not forget the selfie camera. It’s got facial recognition (for when you can’t be bothered to put in a password) and, of course, takes a great picture.Battery power that won’t let you downIt’s no good having a high-spec phone if it dies before you’ve even left work. The Nokia 4.2 can handle up to 18 hours of solid browsing online (don’t take that as a challenge). And when it’s just in your pocket – you’ve got days.
