Nokia 6 goes global, Nokia 5 and 3 also announced

Nokia is back! HMD-ran Nokia brand is making a big showing at MWC 2017. In addition to the retro reboot Nokia 3310, HMD Global is also showing off the new Nokia 3 and Nokia 5, as well as globally launching the Nokia 6.

Nokia 6

The Nokia 6 first arrived to China exclusively earlier this year, but now Nokia has announced plans to make this model available globally.

As a refresher, the Nokia 6 comes with a 5.5-inch Full HD display with 2.5D Gorilla Glass, Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage. It features a 16 MP rear camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera, and provides dual amplifiers that HMD Global says will "deliver a 6 dB louder sound than a regular amp." The handset also supports Dolby Atmos — designed to give audio a more 3D sound effect.

It’s worth noting that the global version will differ slightly, due to the fact it will come with Google services, as well as full support for Google Assistant. The Nokia 6 will set users back $242 when it launches alongside its brothers in the 2nd quarter of the year. There will also be a special Nokia 6 ARTE addition, which has a piano black finish and 64GB storage with 4GB RAM, priced at $299. If ARTE sounds familiar, this is a moniker used for premium models in the past, notably with the Nokia 8800.

Nokia 5

Next we have the Nokia 5, which trades the 5.5-inch display in for a smaller 5-inch display. Other specs include a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, 16GB storage, 2GB RAM, a 13MP rear cam, 8MP wide angle front cam, and Android 7.1.1 Nougat (with Google Assistant) onboard. The Nokia 5 looks somewhat similar to its brother thanks to its metallic design, but little touches like curved edges allow it to stand out at the same time.

The Nokia 5 will ship alongside the Nokia 6 in Q2, priced at $199 and in your choice of silver, blue, matte black, or copper.

Nokia 3

The Nokia 3 is the most low-end of the models, swapping out the metal designs for a polycarbonate back that is held together by an aluminum frame. It’s still a pretty attractive and 'premium' looking device, but not quite in the same league as the Nokia 3 and 6.

As for the specs, you get a MediaTek 6737, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, and 5-inch display. There’s also an 8MP front and rear cam. Overall not the most exciting specs, but you do get Android 7.1.1 Nougat and a price of just $147 when it launches in Q2.

The iPhone 8 will be good for more than just Apple

It's not just iPhone fans who are anxiously waiting for the iPhone 8 to arrive, an iPhone version that will be unlike anything Apple created so far. Apple suppliers that live and die by Apple's orders are also going to profit from the iPhone 8's popularity, including Apple's primary iPhone assembler, a Taiwan-based company you may have heard of: Hon Hai or Foxconn . A report in Bloomberg over the weekend said that Foxconn is riding the wave of "iPhone 8 expectations." Foxconn shares gained 29% last year, with optimism about Apple’s 10th anniversary iPhone helping the company reach a decade-high. The Taiwanese company is expected to mass-produce the OLED iPhone 8 later this year, and an exclusivity deal will surely prop up the stock. Bloomberg says Apple could sell 20 million to 23 million iPhones in China alone during the December 2017 quarter, according to estimates from Counterpoint Research, or 20% more than last year .
