The comeback of Nokia mobile devices was introduced by HMD global at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona early this year in the first quarter.
The company introduced 3 Nokia smartphones (Nokia 6, Nokia 5, & Nokia 3) and have successfully launched them on Tuesday 13th June, 2017.
Prior to the launching of these beast smartphones, the Finnish OEM had previously re-launched the iconic Nokia 3310 in February this year (2017) and it has been making waves in the tech market.
We know Nokia products to be strong, durable, and efficient. Although the company is not solely concerned on the specs of its smartphones being considered as its selling point they usually pack good specs and features compared to that of their rivals.
The Nokia 6 and Nokia 5 smartphones come with pure Android Nougat (7.1.1), while Nokia 3 which seemed to be least in the group runs on Android Nougat (7.0), all still functioning with the latest Google’s Android operating system (OS). HMD Global assures its customers of regular updates on these devices.
The three smartphones features Google Assistant and support dual 4G Sim slot. The Vice President, HMD Global – India, Ajey Mehta in his words stated that:
Nokia is a trusted and well-loved brand across the world and especially in India. Today’s announcement scripts a new chapter for Nokia phones in this country as we set out to capture the hearts and minds of an entirely new generation of fans through an inspiring and purpose-led approach. The new line-up comprising the Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and the Nokia 3 is visually stunning and will always be available out-of-the-box with the latest and pure version of Android. We intend to break the clutter in a market dominated by undifferentiated products by providing a great user experience while living up to the Nokia brand promise of simplicity, trust, reliability and quality.
