HMD Global had been teasing the launch of its budget-centric Nokia 3.4 and Nokia 5.4 smartphones in India for the past week. The company has launched both the phones in India today, offering a punch-hole display, up to quad-cameras, and Snapdragon SoCs under the hood. Both of these phones were first launched globally before making their way to India today.
Nokia 3.4 has only a single 4GB+64GB variant in India. It is priced at Rs. 11,999 and will be available in three color variants, namely Fjord, Dusk, and Charcoal.
Starting with the Nokia 3.4, it is a successor to Nokia 3.2 from early 2019 and has a 6.39-inch HD+ (1560 x 720) LCD display on the front. It sports a punch-hole cutout at the top left, housing an 8MP selfie camera, that provides it a modern look. Under the hood, you have the Snapdragon 460 SoC with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card).
This smartphone is powered by the Snapdragon 662 chipset as compared to the Snapdragon 665 aboard its predecessor. You will also find up to 6GB of RAM and up to 64GB of storage (expandable up to 512GB via a microSD card). Nokia 5.4 runs Android 10 out-of-the-box as well and is Android 11-ready, which is disappointing.
The Nokia Power Earbuds Lite has also tagged along for today’s launch. They’ve been priced at an affordable Rs. 3,599 and feature 6mm graphene audio drivers. The case delivers up to 30 hours of battery life, earbuds up to 5 hours of music playback. This means you get an amazing 35 hours of backup. The earbuds are also IPX7 water-resistant.
