The series of handsets include three smartphones – Nokia 3, 5, 6 and one feature phone – the legendary 3310.
HMD Global formed a strategic alliance with Nokia and Foxconn to bring back Nokia through a series of handsets.
Nokia 6 was launched in December 2016 in China which received more than one million pre-sale registrations in a matter of few weeks. The handsets were sold out in 23 seconds of its launch in the market—a higher-than-expected feedback.
Results showed that 86 percent of the buyers fall under the category of millennial age, depicting the popularity of the handsets with the tech-savvy generation.
Not only in China, which is the biggest and most competitive market in the world, but the new handsets created a positive buzz in the market to attract customers looking for quality handsets , VP HMD Global said.
The features of the smartphone are unique especially with regards to its engineering, design and body material which are making a difference in the market.

Per Ekman revealed an interesting fact that Nokia 3310 is being introduced all over the world due to customer demand. HMD Global had asked in a survey whether the 3310 should be revived and it received a very positive response from all over the globe.
