Nokia has officially launched its three Android smartphones in Indonesia. The launch marks Nokia’s comeback to Indonesia’s market, following its rebirth through a collaboration between Finnish company HMD Global as the owner of Nokia smartphone brand license and FIH Mobile, a subsidiary of Chinese hardware manufacturer Foxconn.
