The front and main cameras are equipped with the same 8-megapixel lenses with autofocus. Unlike older models, Nokia 3 uses a plastic body reinforced with an aluminum frame.
Nokia 5
This smartphone is designed for more demanding users. The device has a slightly larger screen (5.2 inches with a resolution of 1,280 × 720 pixels) and a more powerful 8-core Snapdragon 430 processor.
Among the differences, we can also highlight the main camera on the rear panel, which is equipped with a 13-megapixel sensor, phase detection autofocus and a two-color flash. The battery capacity is 3,000 mAh (versus 2,640 mAh for Nokia 3). The smartphone body is made of aluminum alloy.

Sales of all Nokia smartphones will begin in the second quarter of 2017. The cost of the younger model will be 139 euros, the middle one will cost 189 euros, and for the older one you will have to pay 229 euros.
Revived under the name HMD Global by a group of former employees of the Finnish company, it plans to introduce six or seven Android smartphones in 2017. Three of them, called Nokia 3, 5 and 6, are already on sale in some countries and their worldwide release is expected in April or May. Nokia 7, 8 and 9 may appear in the second half of the year.
All Nokia smartphones vary in terms of the technology available in them and the price, but they have something in common. All of them run on the Android Nougat operating system and Nokia promises to release monthly security updates. Let's see what we know about future Nokia devices.
Nokia 3
This is an entry-level model priced around $150 with modest functionality. Externally, this device looks attractive thanks to the metal frame, which is reminiscent of budget models. There is a $99 smartphone that could be its main competitor, but the Nokia brand could play a role.
Specifications:
- operating system: Android 7.0 Nougat;
- CPU: 4-core MTK 6737 1.3 GHz;
- Memory: 2/16 GB;
- Screen: IPS LCD 5 inches, 1280 x 720, 16:9;
- Cameras: both with 8 megapixel resolution and autofocus;
- Battery: 2650 mAh.
Nokia 5
This smartphone falls closer to the mid-price category and has a larger screen plus an improved camera. It also runs on a Qualcomm processor and costs about $200. This may be a better choice in the long run, although 4 is the better option.
Specifications:
- operating system: Android 7.0 Nougat;
- CPU: Snapdragon 430;
- Flash memory: 16 GB;
- Screen: IPS LCD 5.2 inches, 1280 x 720;

- Battery: 3000 mAh.
This is Nokia's most powerful smartphone until the Nokia 7, 8 and 9 are released. Although it also runs on a modest Snapdragon 430 processor, the advantage of this device is its aluminum body, 1080p screen resolution, and a dual 16 MP camera. Most likely, the price will not exceed $250. One gets the impression that the Snapdragon 430 processor is not enough for such a smartphone; it would be better to use it, after which Nokia 7 and 8 would not be released.
Specifications:
- operating system: Android 7.0 Nougat;
- CPU: Snapdragon 430;
- Memory: 3/128 GB, microSD;
- Screen: IPS LCD 5.5 inches, 1080p;
- Cameras: 16 MP with phase detection autofocus, 8 MP with autofocus;
- Battery: 3000 mAh.
Nokia 7 and 8
These yet-to-be-released devices will fall into the mid-to-high-end category and will be powered by the Snapdragon 650 processor. Both will feature metal bodies. Nokia 7 will receive a screen with a resolution of 1080p, in Nokia 8 it will increase to 1440p. The cameras may use Carl Zeiss optics; dual cameras are not expected here. Nothing more is known at the moment.
In addition to the modern one, at their presentation at MWC 2017, Nokia and HMD Global presented three new smartphones: Nokia 5, affordable Nokia 3 and the international version with the Art Black modification, which received a glossy black back panel. All new items will go on sale in the second quarter of this year, but first things first.
Nokia 6 and Nokia 6 Arte Black
The characteristics of the smartphones are already known: 5.5-inch Full HD display, not the most powerful eight-core Snapdragon 430 chip, 3/4 GB of RAM and 32/64 GB of internal flash memory, 16 and 8 megapixel cameras, a fingerprint scanner and a 3000 battery mAh Absolutely all Nokia smartphones run practically bare Android 7.0 Nougat and will receive monthly security updates. The price of a standard Nokia 6 in black, silver, blue and copper colors is 230 euros. Nokia 6 Arte Black with a glossy black back panel (like the one) will cost 300 euros.
Nokia 5
The simpler Nokia 5 model received a metal body with invisible plastic antenna strips on the edges. The smartphone has a 5.2-inch HD display (1280x720 pixels) and an eight-core Snapdragon 430 processor. 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, expandable. The main 13-megapixel camera supports phase detection autofocus, the front camera is 8 megapixels. A 3000 mAh battery is responsible for autonomy. Available colors: black, blue, silver and copper. Expected price - 190 euros.
Nokia 3
The younger Nokia 3 only has a metal frame, but in general all models are designed in the same style. The smartphone with a 5-inch HD screen diagonal runs on a quad-core MediaTek MT6737 chipset at 1.3 GHz, is equipped with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal memory, expandable with microSD cards. Both cameras are 8 megapixel. The battery capacity is 2640 mAh. The gadget is also available in black, blue, silver and copper-white versions. The asking price is 140 euros.
Alternatives
Even HMD finds it difficult to compete on price with Chinese brands - and a more compact one will cost less with more interesting characteristics. Yes, Nokia devices are cheaper than similar models from Samsung and Huawei, but this is no longer the same Finnish giant that once led the smartphone market.

Average price: RUB 3,490.
Rating (2019): 4.4
Although many people consider smartphones to be more modern and aesthetically pleasing, hardly anyone will doubt the exceptional practicality of inexpensive push-button phones, which, among other things, can pleasantly surprise you with amazing battery life. In particular, this Nokia model, equipped with a 1200 mAh battery and characterized by very economical energy consumption, can easily hold a charge for at least a month in standby mode and within a week with very intensive use, which is an absolute record for both Nokia developments and not so expensive mobile devices in general.

Stylish slider with 2 SIM cards. Original bright design
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: 4,990 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.4
Once very common, today the slider phone has become a rather rare type of mobile device, which, however, has benefited this category, because manufacturers have focused on quality and unique properties, rather than on the number of models. This review participant can truly be called one of the best representatives of this species. The stylish body with a convenient front panel that securely covers the keys, preventing accidental pressing, makes Nokia's development very practical and easy to use. Thanks to the rich, eye-catching colors and unusual curved shape, the slider also looks very modern. However, the appearance is far from the only modern detail of Nokia.

A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: 8,390 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.5
This model is the most inexpensive and at the same time quite functional Nokia smartphone to date, which means it is a very profitable solution for economical and at the same time demanding buyers. Despite the budget of less than 10,000 rubles, the development of the famous Finnish company received most of the capabilities of smartphones in the mid-price segment. The model boasts not only the current version of Android 8.0, which is rarely found in such inexpensive mobile devices, but even NFC technology, which competing companies usually implement only in more expensive smartphones.
An important advantage of the Nokia 3.1 is its multimedia capabilities. Numerous positive reviews show that the main 13-megapixel camera shoots very well in daylight and takes excellent photos in HDR mode. Also, smartphone owners consider the bright 5.2-inch screen, good battery life, high-quality aluminum body and lightness as advantages, because the model weighs only 138 grams.
5 Nokia 6.1 32GB
The most popular Nokia model. Adequate price-function ratio
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 14,290.
Rating (2019): 4.5
The spectacular Nokia smartphone at the optimal price, according to most experts and ordinary users, has become the most famous and discussed creation of the brand. Despite the fact that the model was released not so long ago, it is easy to find real reviews about it on any popular website or forum, because there are hundreds of them. The key to such a success of a smartphone is, first of all, a very reasonable ratio of cost and set of functions. Even today, not all developments in the mid-price segment can boast of NFC, a hall sensor, a fast charging function and a fingerprint scanner, at least individually, but this smartphone has all the listed features.
Also, one of the best characteristics of Nokia, according to many buyers, was a high-quality screen with a resolution of 1080 by 1920 pixels. Other advantages include sound, a durable aluminum body, 32 gigabytes of memory, a fairly fast processor, a good battery that lasts for a couple of days on average, and a decent main camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels.
4 Nokia 5.1 16GB
High camera resolution and powerful processor. Separate memory card slot
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: 10,000 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.6
A modest budget of 10,000 rubles did not prevent the smartphone from ranking with the best Nokia devices in terms of functionality and power. After all, this inexpensive device has everything that most users have been looking for for a long time in different categories of phones. The model is equipped with a fast 8-core processor with a frequency of 2000 MHz, thanks to which Nokia 5.1 pleases its owners with high performance. An important factor for many may be the fact that the smartphone has two slots for SIM cards and a full-fledged separate slot for a memory card, so all this can be used in parallel.
At the same time, many users separately note the excellent photographs taken with a camera with a resolution of 16 megapixels, which is simply surprising at such a price. Also, the advantages of an inexpensive smartphone include a bright screen with a very high resolution for a budget employee and “pure colors”, NFC, Android 8 with a simple intuitive interface, a durable aluminum case and a very good battery, which can last for a couple of days if used not too actively .
3 Nokia 8 Dual sim
High frame rate and excellent video quality. Best screen resolution
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: 21,600 rub.
Rating (2019): 4.7
The 2017 flagship is definitely good value for money. The main advantage of the smartphone, both in comparison with other Nokias and with many competitors, is considered to be a fairly powerful 3090 mAh battery, which allows the gadget to work for up to two days. The property is not sensational, but very useful.
The smartphone also stands out thanks to its pleasant 5.3-inch multitouch screen with excellent resolution and rich colors. The display is also protected by special scratch-resistant glass. In general, the screen can perhaps be called the best in Nokia and one of the best in the price category. In addition, the model is a good photo phone. Both the main and 13 megapixel front cameras take high-quality pictures. At the same time, the dual rear camera is equipped with image stabilization, which significantly improves the clarity of photos. However, unfortunately, there is no macro photography on this phone.
2 Nokia 7 Plus
The best selfie camera. Largest diagonal and excellent battery life
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 22,490.
Rating (2019): 4.7
This representative of the Nokia brand is one of the few developments of the company in the premium category, which explains the price slightly above average. Of course, this is by no means an elite model that could be put on a par with the best flagships costing several salaries, but it has many advantages both over other Nokia devices and over the developments of competitors for about the same money. The most noticeable difference is the excellent 16 megapixel front camera, which allows you to take really high-quality selfies. In addition, this is a device with the maximum screen diagonal for Nokia smartphones, which reaches as much as 6 inches. An equally significant advantage was the battery with the best capacity – 3800 mAh. According to reviews, the charge reserve easily lasts for two whole days, which is rare with such a large diagonal.
In addition to autonomy, beautiful selfies and a large screen, users consider the clear fingerprint scanner, pleasant sound, and performance to be the best features of the smartphone. The memory reserve is also very good.
1 Nokia 7.1 32GB
Ultra-modern frameless screen and the most current version of Android
A country: Finland (manufactured in China)
Average price: RUB 17,475.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Nokia 7.1 is a truly unique model, because it was the one that embodied the new mood of the company, which has finally embarked on the path of change and innovation, while maintaining its best features. The first thing that catches your eye, in bright contrast to all the usual Nokia design, is the ultra-modern juicy screen without frames on the sides, but with a minimalist bar at the bottom and a compact “unibrow” at the top. At the same time, the smartphone is definitely one of the brand’s best developments in terms of display quality, because its resolution reaches 2280 by 1080 pixels. The device also has an unusual shape that fits very comfortably in the hand thanks to the aspect ratio of 19 to 9. Thus, the large screen does not prevent the smartphone from being quite practical.
Many buyers value frameless development for its stability, speed, good cameras, and the latest version of the operating system. Android 8.1 is one of the most modern and popular systems, which means that all updates and top applications are available to the user.
