Best Nokia phones — what are your options? (March 2019)

Nokia was once the biggest smartphone manufacturer in the world but lost its appeal when it overlooked Android and started making Windows-powered smartphones. Microsoft bought the company in 2013, deciding to kill the Nokia brand …

Compared to the Nokia X71, the Nokia 6.2 reportedly features a smaller 6.2-inch display instead of a 6.39-inch display, two rear cameras instead of three, a weaker Snapdragon 632 processor instead of the Snapdragon 660, and 4GB of RAM instead of 6GB. Also rumored are a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor and a punch hole for the selfie camera.

As for the event in India, HMD Global might announce the Nokia 9 PureView and Nokia 1 Plus. The Nokia 9 PureView's calling card is its five 12MP rear cameras, which capture 12 times as much depth data than traditional dual-camera phones.

Meanwhile, the Nokia 1 Plus is already available in the U.K. and features the Android Go version of Android 9 Pie, a 5.45-inch display, the quad-core MediaTek MT6739WW processor, 1GB of RAM, and 8GB of expandable storage.

We'll learn much more once we get to next Thursday. In the meantime, let us know in the comments what you think HMD Global will announce.
