Nokia's latest line of smartphones has something for everyone

[#DEXTER]

On February 24th, HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, announced as many as five new smartphones targeted at different markets with different price points. The most affordable of them all was the Nokia 210, the brand’s most affordable Internet-ready feature phone, which is now available in the UAE for a retail price of AED99. The Nokia 1 Plus followed—a premium entry-level smartphone running the latest Android Go. The smartphone is designed with a gorgeous textured nano-pattern at the back that cups it all the way to the display, with a competent camera and hardware specs to match. Priced at AED299, the Nokia 1 Plus is also available all over the UAE as of today.

Also announced were the Nokia 3.2 and 4.2—two upcoming mid-tier smartphones that also aim to balance design and specs in an accessible price range. The 3.2 comprises of an impressive 6.26” HD+ display for all your entertainment needs, a whopping 4000mAh battery that, the company claims, can last up to 2 days in mixed usage, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 429 processor to top it all up. The phone will be released in May in two types: one with 2GB RAM and 16GB in storage, priced at AED399, and the other, a 3GB RAM/32GB storage variant that will be priced at AED599.

Packed with a dual rear camera, the Nokia 4.2 pushes the value a notch further with a sculpted-glass design and all-screen display, balancing the looks with the latest generation Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset, a dedicated Google Assistant button—which is interestingly also available in the 3.2—and flagship imaging features like depth sensing, all in a body that’s slim enough for single hand use. Like the 3.2, this smartphone will also be available starting May and will be priced at AED579.
