Nokia 6 HMD

In addition to the new Nokia 3310 feature phone, HMD showcased several new smartphones at Mobile World Congress: the Nokia 5 and Nokia 3, as well as the Nokia 6 Arte Black edition.

The Nokia 6 was originally announced during CES 2017 and has been a consumer favorite in China, selling out quickly during flash sales. The smartphone is now expected to release globally during the second quarter; however, a U.S. launch remains uncertain.

The Nokia 6 Arte Black edition is a nod to the Arte design of old Nokia handsets, which feature a sleek and shiny finish. The Arte Black model also has higher hardware capacities than the standard Nokia 6 model.

While all of the devices cater toward the more price sensitive market, the Nokia 5 and Nokia 3 are more low end still in terms of specs and price. The Nokia 5 shares many specs with the Nokia 6, save for its smaller frame and some lower hardware capacities. The Nokia 3 and Nokia 5 have some similarities, but the Nokia 3 differs largely due to its MediaTek processing chip in comparison to the Qualcomm chip in the Nokia 5 and Nokia 6.
