HMD Global will launch full-range of Nokia Phones in India in June. HMD Global holds the right to Nokia and the company unveiled Nokia 6, 5, 3 and a reincarnation of the legendary Nokia 3310 in January this year. The company said it will release full-set of Nokia smartphones in 120 markets in Q2 of 2017.
Earlier, Nokia 6 was released in China and it was a big hit there. There have been a lot of rumors regarding the release date of Nokia smartphones. However, it is now confirmed by India Today Tech that all Nokia phones will be launched in India in June.
Recently, Nokia 3310 (2017) was listed on an online retailer website ‘OnlyMobiles.com’ priced at Rs 3,899. In the meantime, a UK retailer opened pre-booking for Nokia 5, 3 and 3310(2017) revealing the prices and expected release dates. Nokia 6 will be exclusive to Carphone Warehouse for some time and that’s why Clove hasn’t opened pre-orders for the device, but pricing has been revealed in the listings.
The Nokia 6 has been listed at 229.99 pounds (roughly Rs 19,000), the Nokia 5 for 189.99 pounds (roughly Rs 15,700), the Nokia 3 for 149.99 pounds (Roughly Rs 12,400) and the Nokia 3310 for 59.99 (roughly Rs 4,900) pounds.
