Nokia at MWC 2017 has unveiled a series of Android smartphones after the introduction of the Nokia 6 at CES 2017. The Nokia 6 is now going global, and the other two phones that are introduced today include the Nokia 5 and Nokia 3.
The CNC manufacturing and anodized process used to make these Nokia phones give them a perfect finish on the exterior. Nokia is putting a focus on the build quality as that has been one of the USPs for the devices from the company in the past.
The Nokia Android phones will have the pure Android experience with proper security (monthly security updates) and up to date software updates that are sent by Google. The entire Nokia range will have Google Assistant loaded in place of Google search.
Nokia 6
The Nokia 6 is going global and is no longer limited to the Chinese market. It will be available in the different markets and the price is set at 229 Euros, while a special edition of the Nokia 6 will be sold for 299 Euros. To know more about the Nokia 6, read here.
