HMD Global, the home of Nokia phones, today announced five new Nokia phones. Two new smartphones: Nokia 7.2, a smartphone with a 48MP triple camera featuring ZEISS Optics, and the Nokia 6.2, where the PureDisplay meets an advanced triple camera setup powered by AI experiences.
The company also expanded its feature phone portfolio to address new network and market categories. The Nokia 800 Tough is the first rugged Nokia phone from HMD Global, representing a new hallmark in Nokia phone durability and battery life that also has essential modern tech like Google Assistant, WhatsApp, 4G and more.
The Nokia 2720 Flip is compact and tactile but transformed in usability thanks to the integrated AI technology. This makes it an ideal phone for consumers with accessibility needs or looking for a digital detox. Lastly, the Nokia 110 is all about entertainment in a pretty affordable package.
Heralding the next phase of Nokia phones

They’ve identified key strategic investment areas for the future. These investments will be aimed to drive even deeper differentiation for Nokia phones in the areas of imaging, security as well as design and materials innovation. Bringing the benefits of new network technology to a wider audience, HMD Global also announced its commitment to deliver an affordable, but premium grade 5G experience in 2020.
Two new Android mid-segment smartphones for Nokia
HMD Global today announced two new Nokia smartphones – Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2. In addition, both Nokia 7.2 and Nokia 6.2 take a leap forward in craftsmanship and materials exploration bringing premium Nordic designs to the mid-segment.
Nokia 7.2 – Trying to Outdo the Mid-Segment
Nokia 7.2 features a 48MP triple camera with Quad Pixel technology and ZEISS Optics. In an industry first integration of DSLR level pro-bokeh styles into a smartphone, Nokia 7.2 comes with unique ZEISS bokeh styles available in portrait mode to produce stunning shots and exceptional image quality anytime of the day. These bokeh styles recreate the way legendary ZEISS lenses produce high visual impact and signature blur.
Nokia 7.2 also brings advanced low-light imaging with night mode by using AI low light image fusion technology in combination with the 48MP main camera. Building on the strengths of its predecessor, Nokia 7.2 combines a two-day battery life, PureDisplay technology and always-on HDR.
Nokia 6.2 – A PureDisplay And Advanced Triple Camera
The first series 6 Nokia smartphone to premiere a triple camera and PureDisplay technology, Nokia 6.2 offers fans visual experiences and advanced imaging in an accessible package. Nokia 6.2 brings always-on HDR to a new smartphone segment, featuring PureDisplay technology powered by a dedicated visual processor that delivers up to one billion shades of colour. With a combination of AI-features and a powerful triple sensor camera, the Nokia 6.2 lets fans take detailed photos, bokeh portraits and stunning wide-angle shots that capture more.
The Nokia 6.2 also features a two-day battery life, so there’s that. But that’s kind of hard to gauge without knowing how much of an effect the always on HDR will have on the battery.
Nokia 800 Tough – Durability, and Battery life
Nokia 800 Tough is the first rugged Nokia phone from HMD Global, bringing a new level of durability, like it’s Grandfather, the Nokia 3310. Not only is Nokia 800 Tough water and dust proof, it is also protected against drops and has been designed to withstand extreme temperatures, while bringing the latest features you would expect in a modern phone, packing in Google Assistant, popular apps like WhatsApp and Facebook, 4G connectivity and more.
Nokia 2720 Flip – A Flip phone with 4G, in 2019???
Nokia 2720 Flip is a classic flip phone reimagined for today’s user – compact and tactile but transformed in usability thanks to the integrated AI technology. Nokia 2720 Flip features the nostalgic flip-phone design, combining simplicity and reliability into one. The Nokia 2720 Flip comes with WhatsApp and Facebook to make sure you’re connected to what matters. And with The Google Assistant just a button-push away, fans can get more done with just their voice.
In case the unexpected happens, Nokia 2720 Flip comes with an emergency button as well as an ICE (In Case of Emergency) information menu.
Honestly, I’m actually pretty impressed with this phone. I definitely would get one, just to reminisce and slam the phone shut when I’m angry on a call. Sigh. Good times.
