The Nokia 3 was part, a couple of years ago, of Nokia's return to the Android phone market after the purchase of the Finnish company by the Chinese HDM Global. The intentions of the Nokia 3 were clear: to convince those who did not demand much of their phone, with a terminal with basic features and a careful design. It is logical that, seen now, in a time when infinite screens triumph, the appearance of the Nokia 3 may have been somewhat out of date, but our intention is different. With this special we want to tell the owner of the Nokia 3 to try these 10 applications, because you can discover a new phone in your hands, even though it has been on the market for two years.
Facebook Lite
The Facebook application is not, precisely, a light tool that stands out for its speed of use and its low energy consumption. For this reason, the most modest terminals tend to 'suffer' from delays and traffic jams when they have to pull it. Thanks to the installation of Facebook Lite, we will be able to use the social network without discomfort, without having to despair because our mobile phone is not working well or because, using it for a while, it has left us practically without battery.
The app installs very quickly, it also loads in a short time, consumes less data than the official one and works well in areas with little coverage.

Messenger Lite
And if we download Facebook Lite, we cannot forget its instant messaging tool, Messenger, which also has a 'Lite' version for entry-level terminals. This application is especially suitable, as in the previous case, for old terminals or those with a modest processor. The download file only weighs 10 MB, it loads and opens quickly, taking up few resources on our mobile and you will spend less Internet data than if you used the normal version. All the basic functions of Messenger are covered with this application, essential together with Facebook Lite.

Opera Mini
Thanks to this browser you can enjoy your Internet searches without obstacles. In addition, it comes with an incoporated ad blocker, see the amount of data you have saved, have multiple tabs open simultaneously, private browsing and smart download option, thanks to which the system will instantly detect which downloads are the most large and will wait for the WiFi connection to perform them.

Lite for Twitter
An application specially designed for entry-level terminals, so that we can all enjoy Twitter no matter how undemanding our mobile may be. Thanks to this app we can have several accounts, dark mode, attach photos in tweets, quote in the retweet, mute and block accounts… A tool, moreover, compatible with those terminals in which we can no longer install the original Twitter app. Please note, however, that Lite for Twitter is a third-party tool and does not belong to Twitter.

Shazam lite
The 'small' version of the most popular song identifier from the Google store. In less than 1 MB of download you will be able to find out which song is playing and thus have it perfectly located when we want to listen to it again. You can also save the searches you do without an Internet connection. It is an effective alternative to the Shazam application for low performance terminals.
This version of Shazam cannot be downloaded in our country officially. Here is a link to the XDA Developers forum where you can get it.

SD Maid
The 16 GB of internal storage of the Nokia 3 can fall short so it is essential to download an app that eliminates, from time to time, those files that are not used, duplicates or, in short, all those that are unnecessarily occupying space on our terminal. Thanks to the SD Maid application, free although with a Pro version, we can get rid of unnecessary files with a single swipe of the finger. Just by opening it and starting to scan, you can save a ton of space.

Mini games without WiFi
Of course we can play video games on our Nokia 3. It is true that we will not be able to play those that belong to the last generation but we can play others like these 'Minigames' which, in addition, can be played without an Internet connection. Within this great collection of small games we can find endless possibilities, such as racing games, cars, puzzles, ninjas, etc. Of course, you will need the Internet to download the desired minigame.
