The devices were launched at a house party-themed event in Lekki, Lagos on July 26, 2017 with themes centered around superior craftsmanship, distinctive design and powerful entertainment features with a pure Android experience.

“Phones have become an extension of ourselves and are integral to so many aspects of our lives,” said Joseph Umunakwe, General Manager, West, East and Central Africa, HMD Global. “From capturing memories and keeping us entertained, to keeping in touch and remembering important dates and anniversaries, our smartphones are often at the heart of everything we do.”

The Nokia 6, which leads the pack, is made from a single block of aluminum to forge a unibody design and it will come with a 5.5-inch full HD screen.
