- This week’s posts hyped Nokia-branded foldables, flagship models, and keypad phones, boasting ultra-low prices and hefty specs.
- HMD Global, the licensee behind Nokia-branded phones, has yet to list these models on its official platforms
- These posts reference “leaks” but advise readers to wait for official announcements before making any purchases
Several online posts in India have been hyping a “Nokia 2026 Foldable 5G” and a “Nokia Evolve Pro 2026,” boasting impressive specs and pricing. However, there’s no official word from Nokia’s phone licensee to confirm these claims.
The claims matter since Nokia-branded phones continue to attract search traffic and attention in price-sensitive markets. Plus, unverified product pages can spread rapidly through social media and messaging apps.
On Feb. 8, mycampusstore.in posted about a “Nokia 2026 Foldable 5G” featuring dual displays and support for 5G networks. The report mentioned a 5,500 mAh battery and suggested a price below ₹1,599 in the headline. However, the body of the post adjusted that figure to an “expected” price under ₹1,999 and included a disclaimer noting the info was drawn from leaks and rumours. (Mycampus Store)
On Feb. 9, the same site published another article titled “Nokia Evolve Pro 2026 Launch,” touting a 300-megapixel camera, a 7,500 mAh battery, and 20GB of RAM — though it didn’t link to any official product page. (Mycampus Store)
Previous listings on mycampusstore.in revealed some surprising specs and prices for Nokia-branded devices. One caught attention: a “premium 5G keypad phone” priced at just ₹999, boasting a 6,000 mAh battery, a 12MP front camera, and even a five-year warranty. (Mycampus Store)
One more listing on the site mentioned a “new 5G smartphone” packing a massive 15,500 mAh battery, a “quad 400MP” camera system, and a 2K AMOLED display — presented as an unveiling, not an official launch. (Mycampus Store)
HMD Global markets phones under the Nokia brand and identifies itself as a licensee of Nokia. At the time of writing, neither HMD’s public newsroom nor its online catalogue include any devices named “Nokia Evolve Pro 2026” or the “Nokia 2026 Foldable 5G.” (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
HMD has often relied on official press releases to announce launches in India, framing its budget devices within an “access” strategy. Back in October 2025, HMD India executive Ravi Kunwar described the Touch 4G feature phone as “pioneering an entirely new category” targeting first-time digital users. (HMD – Human Mobile Devices)
Nokia’s consumer support pages direct phone buyers to HMD under the “licensed products” section, showing how the brand extends across third-party product lines. (Nokia)
Foldable phones continue to be a premium segment, though shipments are set to climb. According to Counterpoint Research in December, foldable panel shipments will see a sharp increase in 2026. Still, the report didn’t hint at prices dropping into the ultra-low range. (Counterpointresearch)
The risk for shoppers is clear: some numbers contradict each other even inside the same article, and the pages rely heavily on “expected” prices and “leaked” specs. This creates a perfect setup for confusion—and scam listings that mimic brand names and images to trick buyers.
So far, no official word confirms that the Nokia-branded models mentioned in these posts are actual products with set prices, specs, or launch dates. Buyers should wait for HMD’s official announcements and trusted retail sources before committing to a purchase.
