Not only is Nokia bringing the Nokia 3, Nokia 5, and Nokia 6, the reborn Nokia 3310 is coming as well!

Nokia is arguably one of the most iconic mobile phone brands in Malaysia. Virtually everyone had a Nokia phone at some point in their life, but it faded into obscurity once the Android and iOS era came about.

As some of you may know, Nokia is making a comeback but many were left wondering if it would make its way to Malaysia. Well, worry not, as we got the scoop for you.

All 3 Nokia smartphones will have a pure Android experience, meaning that there will be no bloatware whatsoever. Here’s everything you need to know about all 3 devices.

Nokia 3
