The mid-tier smartphones will be introduced to a wide number of markets to reinstate the Nokia brand's presence worldwide.
HMD has stated that its new smartphones, the Nokia 3, 5 and 6, will be launched in 120 countries by mid-2017. Nokia Power User has quoted an HMD spokesperson as saying, "HMD has ambitious plans to release Nokia 3, 5 and 6 in 120 markets at same time in Q2 2017. This is ambitious because HMD is de facto a start-up, though it has support from Nokia and Foxconn."
