Nokia 3, 5, and 6 release is now pegged at the upcoming Mobile World Congress 2017 following HMD Global's announcement that Nokia would introduce the handsets in line with its comeback. On top of the tree phones, a revamped version of the Nokia 3310 is also creating buzz.
According to Venture Beat, HMD Global will bring the four new Nokia phones to the MWC event later this February. The Nokia 6 handset was already released in China recently but its official debut will be held at the congress.
BGR reported that Nokia 6 costs less than $250 and features a metal body made of 6000 series aluminum. It borrows some of its looks from the iPhone, with its 2.5D Gorilla Grass screen and its antenna that lines on its back. It also boasts of its 5.5-inch screen and Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat.
As for the features of Nokia 5 and Nokia 3, everything is just a rumor as of now. There are rumors that Nokia 5 will have downgraded specifications, with a 5.2-inch display at 720p. It is also rumored to have an internal memory of 2GB and a 12-megapixel camera. While Nokia sells at €249, Nokia 5 is said to cost just €199.
The specifications of Nokia 3 have also yet to be revealed, but it is expected to be less powerful compared with the other two handsets. This handset will allegedly be sold at €149 upon its launch.
What creates the biggest buzz about Nokia's comeback is the launch of the revamped version of Nokia 3310, which will be sold at €59. Mobile enthusiasts are all excited for the modern version of this classic workhorse, which is best known for its long battery life and durability. The original handset was first released more than a decade ago to succeed Nokia 3210.
