There’s a growing buzz in the tech world about the four new smartphones–Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 3310 — that the Finnish smartphone maker unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2017 (MWC 2017) that was held in Barcelona earlier this year. At the time of its launch, HMD Global, the company that holds the exclusive rights to manufacture phones under the brand name Nokia, had said that the phones would be available in the global markets in the second quarter of 2017.
After making a debut (albeit via pre-orders) in Austria, Germany, and the UK, Nokia is ready to come home to India. (yay!)
According to a report by the Indian Express, HMD Global is planning to launch Nokia 3, Nokia 5, Nokia 6 and Nokia 3310 in India in June this year (which means that our wait is finally about to get over).
Furthermore, anxious fans have been tweeting out their questions to Nokia about the launch date on Twitter. While the company has been actively answering the questions revealing that it is planning for a global launch in the second quarter of 2017. However, it is being tight-lipped about the pricing.

In a response to a Twitter user, Nokia said that while Nokia 6 cost around €229, Nokia 5 will be priced around €189. “We can’t comment on specific currencies,” the company wrote in the response (which means that we can do nothing but wait till the prices are officially out).
