Nokia announces four new phones in India

by

Nokia is back in the game with four new phones in the entry-level and value market, with two of them – namely, Nokia 125 and Nokia 150 – being feature phones and the other two – the Nokia C3 and Nokia 5.3 – being affordable smartphones.

The Nokia C3 features a 5.99” HD+ screen with adaptable brightness. It runs on Android 10 and is powered by an octa-core processor. It consists of an 8MP rear camera and an LED flash which is capable of capturing HDR photographs and Full HD videos. Along with a 5MP front camera, the Nokia C3 also has a fingerprint sensor. The C3 comes in two RAM/ROM variants: the 2GB/16GB and the 3GB/32GB for Rs. 7,499 and Rs. 8,999 respectively.

The Dual-Sim Nokia 5.3 is a feature rich smartphone which comes with a 6.55” and is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor. Along with a 4000mAh battery, the Nokia 5.3 also features a rear quad-cam setup – which consists of a 13MP main camera –  and a ‘powerful AI imaging’ tech that enhances the user’s photography experience. The Nokia 5.3 runs on Android 10 and guarantees software updates for the next two years, thus enabling users to upgrade to Android 11 which is scheduled to be out soon. The Nokia 5.3 offers 64GB of storage and is available in 4GB and 6GB RAM variants which cost Rs. 13,999 and Rs. 15,499 respectively.

Nokia 125

The Nokia 125 is a feature phone which takes us back in time. It has a 2.4” screen and users can be assured of the phone’s never-ending battery life – which is a well-known trait among Nokia’s feature phones. Users can play classic games like Snake and listen to FM Radio, and can store up to 2000 contacts and 500 messages on the phone. The ergonomic design, with bigger buttons, does come in handy. The Nokia 125 is priced at Rs. 1,999

The Nokia 150 offers a little more than the Nokia 125, with features such as an MP3 player and 32GB of expandable storage. It is also equipped with a VGA camera and flash, along with a file-sharing capability through Bluetooth. Like the Nokia 125, users can play games like Snake on the 2.4” screen and it is supported by a long battery life. We all know that Nokia feature phones are also known for their durability and sturdiness and Nokia 150 doesn’t disappoint. The Nokia 150 costs Rs. 2,299.

The Nokia 125 and Nokia 150 are available for purchase while the Nokia C3 and the Nokia 5.3 will be available from September 17th and September 1st, respectively.

Retro-styled Nokia 5310 coming to India next week

by

The Nokia 5310 was announced globally in March 2020, and is now going to launch in India on June 23, 2020. The new Nokia 5310 is a part of Nokia’s ‘Originals’ family, and is based on the design of the 13-year-old Nokia 5310 Xpress Music, serving as a strong reminder of our past and the phones that young adults grew up with.

The Nokia 5310 is priced at Rs. 3,399 but it misses out on some key features which the Jio Phone – priced at Rs. 1,999 – offers, with 4G LTE connectivity being the main one. However, the Nokia 5310 aims to address the audio and music needs of consumers, with an in-built MP3 player, an FM Radio which can be used wirelessly as well, and dual front-facing features.

The design, as mentioned, is based on the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music and it surely is pleasing to the eyes and it does have the 5-way navigation key and the retro keyboard. It is equipped with a 2.4-inch QVGA screen and runs on a MediaTek MT6260A processor with a dated 8MB RAM.

Storage space of just 16MB is available with the 5310, but it also has a dedicated microSD slot to expand the memory to 32GB. The SD card needs to be bought separately though. The Nokia 5310 also houses a 1200mAh battery and we know that it can go on for days with the minimal usage of phones like the 5310.

The Nokia 5310 also has a rear VGA camera with flash, and it supports GSM 900/1800 bands. But truth be told, it’s going to be a difficult journey for this phone as it simply does not outperform the Jio phone which is slightly more than half the Nokia 5310’s price but also offers a range of better features like 4G, 512MB RAM, 4GB storage space which is expandable to 128GB, and a 2000mAh battery; not to mention the exclusive offers of the superior Jio phone network, which is preferred by most users nowadays.

The Nokia 5310 can be pre-ordered now and will be available for just 4 weeks, on leading online stores, starting from June 23, 2020, before it makes its way to retail shops across. The Nokia 5310 will be available in 2 colour variants: the White/Red and the Black/Red and will cost Rs. 3,399 for the dual SIM variant.

HMD Global unleashes Nokia smartphone trinity in India

by

HMD Global launched their latest line-up of smartphones at an event in the capital today. They include Nokia 6 (2018), Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 8 Sirocco which were unveiled at MWC 2018 recently. They join Nokia 1 which is the first Android Go smartphone from the company.

Nokia 6 improves upon its predecessor by featuring a more compact and durable body made from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium with an 11 hour two tone anodising and polishing process. The 2.5D display is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. It is also over 60% faster than the 2017 Nokia 6 iteration.

Nokia 7 Plus features an 18:9 Full HD+ display and a dual camera setup at the rear. It is said to deliver great performance in both low light and extra bright conditions owing to the 12MP wide angle lens while the secondary 13MP camera helps provide 2x optical zoom. The device touts a 2 day battery life with the company boasting it as the ideal device for online content creators.

Nokia 8 Sirocco brings forth a completely new design with a curved glass finish and a stainless steel frame that is 2.5 times stronger than 6000 series aluminium. The edge to edge pOLED 2k display is protected by 3D Corning Gorilla Glass 5. Just 2mm thin at the edge, it has been balanced to provide an improved grip thanks to the diamond polished stainless steel frame. Interestingly, it is IP67 rated and supports wireless charging. All the devices feature enhanced Dual Sight, ZEISS optics, USB-C fast charging and Nokia spatial audio.

Nokia 8 Sirocco (Rs.49,999) and Nokia 7 Plus (Rs.25,999) can be pre-booked starting from 20 April, 2018 from Nokia phones shop, Flipkart and select retail outlets having an on-shelf date of 30 April, 2018. Nokia 6 (Rs.16,999) will be purchasable from 6 April 2018.

At the launch of the new range of smartphones, Ajey Mehta, Vice President India, HMD Global said, “2017 has been an instrumental year for us – we set up our business operations in the country and launched a portfolio of devices that received overwhelming response from the consumers. Today, we are taking the next significant step forward with the launch of three new Nokia Android smartphones. In 2018, we will continue to strengthen our presence in the country. I am delighted to announce the launch of our exclusive online Nokia phones shop for selling Nokia devices and accessories.

We are delighted to bring to India three new award-winning smartphones – the Nokia 8 Sirocco, the Nokia 7 plus and the new Nokia 6 – each with a very distinct proposition and catering to different consumer segments & price-points.
