HMD Global unveils Nokia 2 in a global event from India

Finnish electronics company HMD Global, which develops and markets smartphones under the Nokia brand name has unveiled the Nokia 2 smartphones at a launch event in India.

The smartphone is priced at euro 99 and will go on sale starting mid-November.

The Nokia 2 is the company’s first international announcement staged from India.

With the announcement of Nokia 2 Price, HMD Global has marked the beginning of India-first devices.

The smartphone sports 5-inch LTPS HD screen protected with Gorilla Glass. The device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 212 processor coupled with 1 GB RAM and () internal storage, expandable via microSD card. The phone houses 8-megapixel camera on the back and 5 MP selfie camera. The 4G LTE phone runs Android Nougat out of the box and supports Google Assistant, an artificial assistant from Google.

The key feature of the smartphone is its 4,100 mAh battery, which the company promises is 2 days of battery life.

The phone will come in three colours -- copper black, clear black and clear white.

HMD Global made its first India-exclusive launch with the Nokia 2. While the USP of the launch event in New Delhi was a hands-on session on a moving metro train, the phone boasts several interesting features of its own. From a 2-day battery to Android Nougat, and a 5-inch HD screen thrown in for good measure, the budget smartphone comes loaded in every department.

With the Nokia 2, HMD Global is planning to tap into the ultra-cheap smartphone segment and increase its market share in the country. Currently, the company's market share is on a steep climb in the feature phone industry with around 8 per cent hold in the market. The company is on the fourth position in the feature phone market.
