Florian Seiche,

over time. Today we are kicking off a new chapter for HMD Global as we step
into 5G with a truly global, future-proof smartphone. Combined with the launch
of HMD Connect, we are creating a truly seamless experience in terms of connectivity.”
Juho
Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer, HMD Global:
“We
take great pride in working with our partners to deliver unique devices. That’s
why we’re excited to announce a number of firsts with this launch. With the
help of the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765G Modular Platform, we’ve created a truly
global 5G Nokia smartphone that’s designed with cost, usability and
future-proofing in mind. Not only does the Qualcomm 5G solution enable to us
condense more than 40 different radio frequency (RF) components in a single
module, the Nokia 8.3 5G also features the highest number of 5G New Radio bands
from 600hmz all the way up to 3.8GHz – meaning it is a truly global and future-proof
device.
“Together
with Google we’ve managed to introduce an impressively accessible Android (Go
edition) device with the Nokia 1.3 – one of the first smartphones to launch
with Camera Go and running Android 10 (Go edition). The new Nokia 5.3 takes
powerful features like the quad camera and Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 665 Mobile
Platform and puts these at the fingertips of an even wider pool of fans. And we
couldn’t ignore our wildly popular Originals family. That’s why we’re bringing
back the Nokia 5310 – so you never miss a beat.”

“We are proud to support HMD
Global in announcing their new 5G device – one of the first commercially
announced devices to be based on the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 765G Modular
Platform. We developed this platform to help bring 5G experiences to everyone
and give time to market advantages to our customers – it is a highly integrated
solution based on the world’s first-announced mobile platform with integrated
