Nokia unleashed three affordable phones – Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3 – in India last month in June and all three were supposed to hit retail shelves this month. While the Nokia 3 is already available offline, Nokia 5 and Nokia 6 have been delayed by another month, confirmed HMD global in a press statement. The Nokia 6 and Nokia 5 will now be available for purchase around Independence day on August 15.

“We are humbled by the response to Nokia 3. Currently, we are ramping up our production for Nokia 3 on priority to meet the existing consumer demand. In the coming week, we will start production of Nokia 6 and Nokia 5 to get them ready for sales start by mid-August,” the company said in a statement to NokiaPowerUser.

The exact reason for the delay wasn’t mentioned. The Nokia 5 will retail at offline stores, just as the Nokia 3, and the much awaited Nokia 6 will retail exclusively on Amazon.in. The registration for Nokia 6 sale will start on schedule that is on July 14. And you can also pre-book Nokia 5 from offline stores starting today.

Moreover, the registration is for a ‘Flash Sale’ which implies that many won’t be able to get hold of Nokia 6 even on August 15 or for many more weeks to come. If you have been waiting for Nokia 6, and many have been, you might want to reconsider.

To recap the hardware on the two phones, Nokia 6 is a premium handset running stock Android Nougat OS powered by Snapdragon 430 octa-core chipset, 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, 3000mAh battery, and 16MP primary camera.

The Nokia 5, on the other hand, has a 5.2-inch HD display, is powered by Snapdragon 430 SoC, but with lesser RAM and storage, and a 13MP primary camera.
