After a long time of waiting, HMD Global has finally launched the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 here in the Philippines. And other than the nostalgia it brings, the triplets also brag a very competitive pricing.
The Nokia 3, the cheapest of the bunch, will only retail for Php6,990. For such low price tag, you’re already getting a 5-inch HD IPS display with Corning Gorilla Glass, an 8-megapixel front camera with a wide-angle lens, and a quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM.
As a bonus, Nokia is also throwing in an NFC capability — a feature that we rarely see on a device of this caliber.
