HMD Global-backed Nokia put its mid-ranger Nokia 3 smartphone available for sale a couple of months back. The Finland-based company is now planning on putting one of its other Android series smartphones – the Nokia 5 on sale as well. The company had promised that the device will be made available for purchase, starting mid-August. Staying true to the promise made by the company, the Nokia 5 smartphone will be made available for purchase, starting from 15th of August. Both, Indian Express and GizBot confirmed the above-given news.
Rumored specs and features
Online and offline pre-booking for the mid-ranger Android-powered Nokia 5 began back on July 7th itself.

According to a report published by First Post, the search-giant might officially roll out its Android O update sometime this month – specifically 21st August. It is highly possible that Nokia ends up offering the update right after that.
Meanwhile, Nokia is also working on introducing its high-end flagship smartphone, Nokia 8 and 9.
