Nokia unveils 4 Android smartphones, reloads Nokia 8110 for 4G

The acclaimed home of Nokia phones, HMD Global, has unveiled four new additions to its award-winning portfolio of Android smartphones, reports ITRealms.

The latest entrants include Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus, new Nokia 6 and Nokia 1. ITRealms gathered that in efforts at delivering all the craftsmanship expected from a Nokia phone, each new smartphone offers durability and reliability as standard, with the range setting new benchmarks in materials and design.

The chief executive officer of HMD Global, Florian Seiche, noted that in furtherance to earlier promise to pure, smart, secure and up-to-date Android experience, HMD Global unveiled the first global partnership 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 become the natural fit for the global programme,” Seiche said.

Adding to range of stunning new Android smartphones, the iconic Nokia 8110, Seiche said, has been reloaded to deliver 4G connectivity, apps including Google Assistant, Google Maps, Google Search, Facebook and Twitter, and the return of the slider phone.

The Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus and the new Nokia 6 – join the Android One family, offering a high quality software experience designed by Google. Each phone will stay fresh over time with the latest AI powered innovations to the highest grade of security from Google. With a pure Android installation, Nokia smartphones come with no unnecessary UI changes or hidden processes that would eat up battery life or slow them down so you can enjoy your new phone for longer. Each of the new phones comes with a limited number of pre-installed apps so that you’ll get more storage space, as well as the latest innovations that help you stay ahead of the game every day.

By shipping with Android Oreo out of the box, users will be able to enjoy the latest features, including Picture-in-Picture for multitasking, Android Instant Apps to discover and run apps with minimal friction, 60 fantastic new emojis and battery-maximising features like limiting background app use.

According to Florian Seiche, CEO HMD Global, “This time last year, we started our journey with huge expectations from fans and a massive responsibility to deliver on the legacy of one of the most innovative brands in our space. Since then we have reintroduced well-loved icons, forged partnerships with friends - old and new, and delivered our pure, secure and up-to-date Android experience across our smartphone portfolio. Last year we shipped over 70 million Nokia phones.”

Noting further that HMD Global remains committed to delivering great phones that will offer value to the customers, Mr. Seiche said “As we’ve expanded our portfolio we’ve always maintained one vision: to deliver great Nokia phones that live up to the values our fans expect. It has been an exhilarating time and as we look ahead, we plan to build on our success by expanding our portfolio and giving consumers a wide range of Nokia phones they can love, trust and rely on.”


HMD Global prides itself in making smartphones that address real-world needs, with commitment to pure, secure and up-to-date Android as a core strategy.
