The Nokia 8 and Nokia 5 have received price cuts in India. Both handsets are part of HMD Global's first wave of Android phones and have been presented with what appears to be permanent discounts before second generation devices land this year.

The Nokia 8 first went on sale last September starting at Rs. 36,999 but has now been dropped to Rs. 28,999 on Amazon. The 64 GB device features a Snapdragon 835 chip, QHD display, and is available in Polished Blue, Tempered Blue and Steel colors.
