HMD Global Nokia Android Smartphones, New Nokia 3310 Launch in the Philippines is on June 8, 2017

Great news for mobile consumers in the Philippines who've long been waiting for the official release of the reimagined Nokia 3310 as well as HMD Global's all-new Nokia-branded Android Smartphones in our country!

I've just received an invitation from our friends at HMD Global - which calls itself "The New Home of Nokia Phones" - and their local PR agency for the PH media launch of the above-mentioned handsets.

The event will be held in an exclusive venue within NCR on Thursday, the 8th of June 2017.

The invite that I got didn't include the exact Nokia Android smartphone models that HMD Global will be showcasing at the event. However, based on the company's releases in other key territories around the world, I'm personally expecting them to launch Nokia 6, Nokia 5, and Nokia 3.

For those who are interested, you can watch these exclusive hands-in and demo videos to know more about these 2017 midrange releases:
