The world of smartphones is going through a revival, with Nokia being the first on the block to go through a massive makeover. With HMD Global taking over Nokia, the first wave of the new series (the 5, the 6 and the 8) featured classic Nokia designs with a touch of the Android cloud hanging over its head. Early this year, Nokia announced it was going to commit to using the Android One platform for its the phones going forward.
By doing this, the smartphone provider promised to roll out new phones faster and quicker as compared to earlier. Keeping in tune with its promise, the Nokia 8 Sirroco, the Nokia 7 Plus and the Nokia 6 2018 are all ready to make their way to the Indian market! According to the reports laid out by HMD, India is among the top three countries in the world which still prefers using Nokia over other smartphone companies.
