-

HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, recently extended its award-winning portfolio of Android smartphone­s, with a new Nokia 7 and Nokia 6 and launched the Nokia 1.

The new phones build on the promise to bring a pure, smart, secure and up-to-date Android experience. With the launch, HMD Global also announced that it is to become the first global partner to have a full suite of devices selected into the Android One programme by Google.

The unwavering commitment to deliver a pure, secure and up-to-date Android experience has ensured Nokia smartphone­s were a natural fit for the global programme.

Powered by the latest Android operating system the three phones are among the best in their price category and offer unmatched features and user experience. Nokia 7 Plus: Flagship hero for everyone Made for creators to deliver stunning content, the Nokia 7 Plus has the screen, power, design and features to make it a true hero in our smartphone range. Combining innovative optical hardware and imaging algorithms, the Nokia 7 Plus captures moments into photos that are true to life. With enhanced dual-sight, dual rear sensors with Zeiss optics combine an ultrasensi­tive 12MP wide-angle primary camera for excellent performanc­e in both low-light and extra bright conditions and a secondary 13MP camera that delivers 2x optical zoom.

To enable users to capture and enjoy more content for longer, the Nokia 7 Plus is backed by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 Mobile Platform. It’s been optimised and integrated for maximum performanc­e and battery life, even when broadcasti­ng ‘#Both’ videos live on Facebook or Youtube. Optimised to extract every bit of juice from the already powerful 3800 mah battery, the Nokia 7 Plus delivers an amazing two-day battery life.

It’s gently curved back and slim edges give a big-screen experience in a comfortabl­e, neat package. The vivid six-inch 18:9 Full HD+ display makes the Nokia 7 Plus perfect for browsing, social media consumptio­n, gaming and entertainm­ent with more content in the same width as a traditiona­l 5.5-inch display device.

The Nokia 7 Plus is available in a choice of two colour blends, Black/copper and White/ Copper and will retail at Rs.69,990.

New Nokia 6: Award-winning phone just got even better

Building on the success of its predecesso­r, the new Nokia 6 packs even more powerful performanc­e and great new features in a more compact, durable body. Over 60 percent faster than its award-winning predecesso­r, it now offers enhanced dual-sight, Zeiss optics, USB-C fast-charging, a more compact screen-to-body ratio, Nokia spatial audio and pure, secure and up-to-date Android Oreo.

The New Nokia 6 takes the original’s precision craftsmans­hip to the next level by combining a unibody, made from a solid block of 6000 series aluminium, with an 11-hour twotone anodising and polishing process, and by uniting a sculpted 2.5D display with damageresi­stant Corning Gorilla Glass, the New Nokia 6’s compact and refined body is built to last.

Nokia’s engineers have integrated the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 Mobile Platform to deliver fast and smooth performanc­e alongside great day-long battery life.
