Nokia Mobile brand licensee HMD Global has released its second 5G smartphone, the Nokia 8 V 5G UW. The phone is also the first by the company to support mmWave 5G connectivity alongside sub-6GHz network. It is available in the US that is provided by network carrier Verizon. In terms of looks and specifications, the Nokia 8 V 5G UW appears to be a tweaked version of the Nokia 8.3 5G that was launched in March this year.
HMD Global in a blog post stated that the Nokia 8 V 5G UW would be available to purchase starting November 12. The smartphone comes with a price tag of starting $700 (approx Rs 52,000) that is available in Meteor Grey colour option. Customers can purchase the phone via VerizonWireless website, My Verizon, and Best Buy stores. Since it is provided by US carrier Verizon, the smartphone won’t go on sale in India.
