The first Nokia-branded smartphones were unveiled several months back and since then they have only been released in a handful of countries. HMD Global, the Finnish company that’s making these devices, previously said that the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 will be released globally in the second quarter of this year. Nokia has now confirmed that its new handsets will be released worldwide next month.

These Nokia-branded handsets were formally unveiled at the Mobile World Congress 2017 in Barcelona back in February. They are not made by Nokia itself. Nokia has licensed its brand to another Finnish company called HMD Global that’s manufacturing and selling these devices.

It has now been officially confirmed that HMD Global is planning to release its new Nokia smartphones worldwide before the end of the second quarter of this year. Since the second quarter ends in June, this means that the handsets will be out by next month.

The prices will obviously vary a little by the market but that’s to be expected. HMD Global is yet to confirm whether it’s going to be teaming up with mobile carriers in some of these markets to get its smartphones out into customers’ hands quickly.

We should know more about HMD Global’s worldwide release plan for the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6 in the near future.
