Nokia 6, Nokia 5, Nokia 3 India launch today: First look

The company spokesperson had confirmed to Newsable that the devices are slated to be launched by mid-June. At the press meet held in Bengaluru, HMD Global had showcased the Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3 Android smartphones, and the iconic Nokia 3310 (2017) feature phone. The company maintained that these are prototypes, and the final devices may vary slightly.

Nokia 6

Nokia 6 is the high-end device among the Android trio. Nokia has put a lot of emphasis on design, and the Nokia 6 looks promising. It is built of a single aluminum piece. The company claims that it took nearly 12 hours to design a single unit. 

 

The all-metal device felt sturdy in palms. It sports a large 5.5-inch Full HD display. Nokia calls it a total entertainer, owing to the dual amplifiers and the Dolby Atmos sound technology. It supports fast charging and is fuelled by a 3000mAh battery.

Under the hood, it is powered by Snapdragon 430 coupled with 3GB RAM . It gets 32GB of onboard storage, which is further expandable up to 128GB via microSD card slot. The rear camera is 16MP, while the front shooter is 8MP. A few outdoor clicks with the rear snapper looked good in the limited time we used it. The device also comes with a fingerprint scanner.

The Nokia 6 will be a sub-Rs 17000 device. The company plans an Arte Black edition too, which will come with 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage, at a slightly higher price tag. The device runs Android Nougat, and the interface looked neat and clutter-free. However, Nokia claimed that the units on display are not the final product, which may vary slightly as they hit the markets.

Nokia 5 is being termed as the perfect fit! With a 5.2-inch HD display, this sleek device is designed to fit snuggly in your palms. This will be a sub-Rs 13,000 device that comes powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 coupled with 2GB of RAM. It is backed by a 3000mAh battery, but won't get Dolby Atmos support like the Nokia 6.

Nokia 3 is the all-plastic device and the cheapest among the trio. It's a sub-Rs 10,000 dual SIM device that comes powered by quad-core MediaTek MT6737 processor. The 16GB onboard storage is further expandable up to 128GB.
