Nokia 3.4 to be HMD’s first smartphone of 2021 in India

Nokia 3.4 is coming to India soon. HMD Global has confirmed on Twitter that it is going to launch its last year’s budget phone in India soon. Although a date is not confirmed, the Nokia 3.2 successor will offer competition to Chinese smartphones in the coming days as and when it goes official. The Nokia 3.4 rides high on the pure Android experience that somehow makes it an odd one out. Rid of the bloatware, the Nokia 3.4 brings everything in terms of software similar to how it is on the Google Pixel phones.

In a tweet, Nokia Mobile India wrote: “New things to discover right on your fingertips with the Nokia 3.4.” Now I am not sure what “new things” HMD is talking about here because there were not any features that were new to the phone line-up. But rest assured, the promise of timely Android version rollouts and security updates. The Nokia 3.4 will be upgradeable to Android 11 only a few months later. The smartphone was launched alongside Nokia 2.4 last year and it was even rumoured to arrive in India in December last year but that did not happen.
