HMD Global is not going to slow down in reviving the Nokia brand. The Finnish company has already done an exemplary job in its previous releases, which are priced competitively and receive updates in a timely manner. The latest member of the manufacturer’s lineup is the Nokia 4.2, which is not a successor of any Nokia-branded phone (there is no Nokia 4 or 4.1). It is the first time HMD has used the 4 number too.
The 4.2 has glass on the back and front, but the sides are reinforced by plastic. Here is the specification list.
