HMD Global has officially unveiled three new smartphones - the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1 and Nokia 2.1. All three handsets come at an affordable price, with an up-to-date Android experience. Lets learn more about each of these new smartphones individually.

Nokia 5.1

The Nokia 5.1 leads the pack featuring a 5.5 inch full HD display with an 18:9 aspect ratio and Gorilla Glass protection from scratches. You can pick between 16GB or 32GB of internal storage, and expand by up to 128GB of microSD. There is a 16MP camera on the rear with phase detection auto-focus and a dual-tone LED flash, while an 8MP camera in front will take care of video calls and selfies.

The handset is powered by a 2.0GHz Helio P18 octa-core processor from MediaTek with either 2GB or 3GB of RAM depending on the model you pick. HMD claims that this setup is capable of delivering 40% improvement in performance over its predecessor, the Nokia 5. You also have a 2900mAh battery which should offer decent battery life, even though the company hasnt revealed the official numbers yet.

The Nokia 5.1 will be available starting July 2018 for around €189 ($218) globally. There will be three colors to pick from - Copper, Tempered Blue and Black (which will be available a few weeks after launch). The 16GB variant will come with 2GB of RAM, while the 32GB variant will be available with 3GB.
