As announced earlier, HMD Global has launched the Nokia 3, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 at an event in New Delhi. Last month around, Nokia relaunched the 3310 and played the nostalgia card very well. Despite its departure from the smartphone market, the Nokia name still rings a bell and most of us closely associate with the brand. The Nokia 3 is the most affordable of the lot and is priced at Rs 9,499 it typically falls in the budget category. The phone will be sold offline only and will be available from 16th of June.

The smartphone market dynamics have undergone a paradigm shift in the recent years and despite the affordability tag the Nokia 3 does lack on the hardware front as opposed to its competitors. But then, the offline availability is something that might help Nokia to achieveĀ greater sales numbers. However Nokia seems to be all set with its retailer network as the company has already announced 400 exclusive retailers, pickup & drop for 100 cities, Nokia Mobile Care and also a web chat call support.
