Finnish Nokia phone marketer, HMD Global, has refreshed three of its mid-range Android smartphones from last year, the Nokia 5, Nokia 3, and Nokia 2.
The new phones, the Nokia 5.1, Nokia 3.1, and Nokia 2.1, will be available this summer for under €190, or about $220.
The Nokia 5.1 has a 0.3-inch larger display than its predecessor, offering a 5.5-inch Full HD display in an 18:9 aspect ratio.
The fingerprint sensor has been moved from the bottom front to the rear to make space for the larger screen. It's powered by a 2.0 GHz MediaTek Helio P18 eight-core processor that HMD Global says is 40 percent faster than the Nokia 5.
