HMD Global Oy today in Moscow, Russia, announced their newest wave of Android smartphones. These are each successors to last year's mid-to-low range devices. These devices are the Nokia 2.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 5.1. These succeed last February's Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, and October's Nokia 2. While these are welcome changes, there are a few changes.
One of the biggest changes include that the Nokia 3.1 and 5.1 run the Android One version of Android Oreo, while the Nokia 2.1 has the Go Edition. While the Nokia-branded smartphones from HMD Global have always had a stock and clean version of Android, they more recently committed to the Android One and Go programs from Google.
Each of these devices contain a micro USB port, headphone jack, and micro SD card slot for expansion. All of these devices also lack support for near field communication (NFC), which makes it unable to use mobile payments or share a picture by tapping together devices. Another aspect of this device is that they all will have two years of software updates, and five of security patches, a commitment of HMD for their Nokia-branded Android devices.
The devices also are study in their build-quality, an aspect of which Nokia and HMD Global are both now known for with their devices, using the common Nokia brand. The Nokia 2.1 has a 4000 mAh battery, similar to the original, which is said to last two days on a single charge. The Nokia 3.1 is designed to be a well-rounded device, now with a wider screen. The Nokia 5.1 also now has a wider screen, at an 18:9 aspect ratio and a higher-end design than the previous model.
Similar to a majority of HMD's devices, these will be released in more developing markets before it comes to more established ones.
