Nokia ups market visibility with new smartphones

A camera perfect for selfies, groufies and even the ultimate “bothie,” a feature wherein both the front and rear cameras can be used to take photos and videos simultaneously.

To be released in May 14 is the new Nokia 6, a revamp version of its predecessor which offers an enhanced Dual-Sight, ZEISS optics, USB-C fast-charging, a more compact screen-tobody ratio with a diamond-cut edges and Nokia spatial audio.

Already on sale in the market as of last week is the Nokia 1, a phone which Mead recommended for first-time phone users and children.

Giving a nostalgic feel, Nokia 1 comes with exchangeable covers, the Xpress-on covers, giving the users the ability to give their phone a make-over through picking from the assorted vibrant-colored covers.

Further taking the phone users down the memory lane, HMD Global also brought in the reloaded version of Nokia 8110, known as the Matrix phone or the “banana phone” due to its curved protective cover, which will hit the stores this May.

Now in 4G, Nokia 8110 users will have access to an app store for their favorites like Google Search, Facebook, Twitter, Gmail, and among others. The phone also comes with a revamp version of Snake.

“Our presence in the Philippines is actually only one year and the smartphone sale is 8 or 9 months. So, we’ve actually already achieved a lot and we got a long way to go. But its promising signs to start,” Mead said.

HMD Global is a company that develops and markets smartphones and feature phones under the Nokia brand.
