Nokia is back in India

Nokia phones are back. Finnish company HMD Global, which now has the rights to make and sell phones with the Nokia branding, has unveiled three Android phones at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona. These three Android phones are positioned for the mid-range price brackets. But, it’ll be interesting to see if these Nokia phones are up to challenging the extremely popular Chinese phones.

The Nokia 3 is the most basic phone among the trio. It runs a MediaTek MTK 6737 quad-core processor, with 2GB RAM and 16GB storage. The front and rear cameras have both 8 megapixels. Unlike the more expensive siblings, the Nokia 3 has a polycarbonate body, with aluminium only around the frame. Unlike the other two phones, this one looks very much like the affordable Lumia smartphones from not too long ago. The Nokia 3 will also start shipping in Q2, with a price tag of $147.

All three devices, the Nokia 6, 5 and 3, run Android 7.1.1 Nougat out of the box, and HMD Global promises “regular updates, so you’ll always stay on top of features and security” for these phones.
