- Story Text:HMD Global, the Finnish company that owns the rights to use the Nokia brand for mobile phones, has launched a smartphone with an array of five camera lenses on the rear - two 12 megapixel colour sensors and three 12 megapixel monochrome sensors - designed to appeal to camera enthusiasts.
The Nokia 9 PureView heads a new range of smartphones announced by HMD on Sunday (February 24), including an entry-level device and two mid-level handsets, all designed to work with Google's Android One, which guarantees two years' of operating system upgrades.
The company was showing it could innovate by delivering the world's first five-camera array system in a smartphone, Chief Executive Florian Seiche said in an interview.
It also refreshed its devices in the mid-market, where it already has a top-five ranking in many markets, and introduced a feature phone - the Nokia 210 - able to connect to the Internet using an Opera Mini browser, priced at an average $35.
Seiche said the Nokia range would serve users, particularly in emerging markets, from feature phone to mid-market devices.
He said the mid-market Nokia 3.2 and Nokia 4.2 also appealed to users who wanted good value combined with the simplicity of a "pure" Android operating system, unencumbered with software installed by the device maker and with guaranteed upgrades.
