Nokia 5.3 confirmed to launch in India soon, here’s all you need to know

After a spate of rumours and leaks, HMD Global has confirmed Nokia 5.3 is coming to India very soon. The company has not announced an official launch date yet, but it is hosting a virtual briefing for the same on August 25. Nokia 5.3 is likely to go official by the end of this month.

Last Nokia phone had landed in India in June this year. HMD Global had launched the Nokia 5310 Xpress Music feature phone in India. The feature phone is part of Nokia’s Classics series of phones which features the likes of Nokia 105 and Nokia 3310.
