Marking its return to the Indian smartphone market, Nokia will be launching its low to mid-range Android smartphones tomorrow in the country. The three smartphones have already been through an international launch so we know all the features and specifications they come with. The only thing that isn’t known is their India-specific retail pricing, which, a new report claims to have some information about.
A report by bestsmartphonesunder.com cites a “trusted retailer” who provided the publication with the alleged retail prices of the three Nokia Android phones. As per the report, the Nokia 3 will be priced at Rs. 9,990, Nokia 5 at Rs. 12,990, and Nokia 6 at Rs. 15,990.
During their first announcement at MWC earlier this year, HMD Global priced the Nokia 6 at €229, Nokia 5 at €189, and Nokia 3 at €139. The leaked Indian pricing of these phones is very close to the prices that the company announced at MWC when directly converted to Indian Rupees.
Reportedly, the pre-orders for the Nokia 6, 5, and 3 will start from June 13 itself and they will go on sale a week later on June 20. The phones will be sold both online and offline.
Nokia’s 2017 lineup of smartphones isn’t just about specifications, it is more about build quality and user experience, as the company says. The Nokia 6 and Nokia 5 come powered by a Snapdragon 430 processor, have a fingerprint scanner and 3000mAh battery with fast charging, and support 4G along with VoLTE.
Nokia 3, on the other hand, is powered by a MediaTek MT6737 processor, has a 2650mAh battery, and it also supports 4G along with VoLTE. It has a 5-inch HD display, 2GB of RAM, 16GB internal storage, 8MP cameras both on the front and the back and runs on Android 7.0 Nougat.
Nokia 6 has a larger 5.5-inch FHD display with 3GB/4GB of RAM, 32GB/64GB of internal storage, a 16MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash, 8MP front-facing one, and runs on Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Nokia 5 has a smaller 5.2-inch HD display, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal storage and a 13MP rear camera with dual-tone LED flash.
The launch of the phones is scheduled for tomorrow, June 13, 2017, at 12 PM in New Delhi.
