Though Nokia phones did not make an appearance at IFA 2020 earlier in September, HMD Global (the Finnish company that makes Nokia-branded phones) has taken the wraps off two new budget phones at a standalone virtual event today. The Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4 have been unveiled with MediaTek and Snapdragon chipsets under the hood respectively.
First up, we have the Nokia 3.4 that arrives as a successor to Nokia 3.2 from early 2019. HMD Global has skipped Nokia 3.3 and did not bring this phone to the market, alongside Nokia 2.3 last year.
This smartphone is powered by the latest Snapdragon 460 chipset, which you will also find aboard the Moto E7 Plus and Oppo A53. It is paired with 3GB RAM and 64GB of built-in storage, expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card. Nokia 3.4 runs stock Android 10 out-of-the-box but is said to be Android 11-ready in the press note.
Nokia 2.4 seems to be a minor upgrade over its predecessor. It boasts exactly the same design as last year, with a waterdrop notch on the front and a dual-camera array on the rear. You will also find a fingerprint sensor below the camera module and a dedicated Google Assistant key on the left edge.
Apart from the Nokia 2.4 and Nokia 3.4, HMD Global revealed that the Nokia 8.3 5G finally goes on sale in global markets at an average price of 599 euros (~Rs. 51,550). It has also announced the Nokia Power Earbuds Lite TWS earphones, which boast 6mm drivers, IPX7-rating, and offer up to 35-hours of playback time.
