There’s a lot to process here and so, we are going to be as quick as possible. HMD Global, the finish maker of the reborn Nokia phones, have introduced five new handsets at the IFA in Berlin. Among them is a couple of surprises, including a smart but not-quite-so-smart, modern take of the classic flip phone called Nokia 2720 Flip and a super tough feature phone called Nokia 800 Tough.
The other three handsets introduced are two new Android One smartphones: the 48 MP triple camera featuring ZEISS Optics and the Nokia 6.2, a PureDisplay device with AI-infused triple camera setup, and a Nokia 110, a feature phone that is somewhat a MP3 player of sort.
