Nokia’s new smartphones bring a surprisingly modern design for under $170

HMD is unveiling a truckload of smartphones at Mobile World Congress this year. We've already talked about the flagship Nokia 9 Pureview, and now it's time to cover some of the lower-end models, which is where the Nokia brand has made a serious resurgence in the past few years. Today, HMD is announcing the Nokia 4.2, Nokia 3.2, and the Nokia 1 Plus, and we have prepared a big spec sheet to celebrate.

(Note that while all of these prices are in dollars, we don't yet know which phones, if any, are coming to the US.)

With $169 being the highest price, these are all very cheap smartphones. What jumps out from the spec sheet is how they all have old-school micro USB ports. This is a bit disappointing considering HMD also sells the Nokia 3.1 Plus for $160, which actually has a USB-C port in the United States.
