The Nokia countdown
8, 7, 6.... three new Nokia smartphones for different budgets.
Nokia, the brand that introduced Indians to their first mobile phones, reinvented itself sometime back. The result was a range of devices that promised the three things it was always known for durability, performance and affordability. Now, the brand has added three more smartphones Nokia 8 Sirocco, Nokia 7 Plus and Nokia 6. All are part of Google’s Android One program, which provides a pure Android experience, including Android Oreo out of the box, monthly software updates and no unnecessary battery drain due to heavy UI apps.
Nokia 8 Sirocco is the showcase device and comes with a combination of curved Corning Gorilla glass and aluminum, with a 5.5 inches display. The 2.2 mm thick device has rear sensors with Zeiss optics that provides high-quality primary camera images, through a 13 MP front dual camera with 2x optical zoom. The device also offers a 5 MP front clicker. Powered by the Snapdragon 845 processor, the Nokia 8 comes in a 6 GB+128 GB memory configuration, and is available in black at Rs 49,999.
If you fancy a slightly cheaper mid-range option, the Nokia 7 Plus is priced at Rs 25,999. Powered by the Snapdragon 660 processor, the device comes with a 3800 mAh battery, a 6-inch screen and a 12 MP+13 MP (back) and a 16 MP front camera. Available in a 4 GB+64 GB memory configuration, the Nokia 7 Plus is available in black/copper and white/copper.
The Nokia 6 is the least expensive of the family at Rs 16,999. The USP of this device is its simple, yet classy design and a mix of performance specs that make it a value device. It is made from a single block of aluminum and comes in a 16 MP+8 MP camera configuration. The 5.5 inches device sports a 3000 mAh battery, and comes in 3 GB+32 GB memory combination.
If you are willing to splurge on an ultra stylish and performance-heavy device, the Nokia 8 Sirocco is the one to go for. If style is your forte, Nokia 6 is a better option and if you can compromise on style but not on performance, then go for 7 Plus.
