New Nokia Smartphones announced for India, Pricing is too high for the Specs they offer

New Nokia Smartphones announced for India, Pricing is too high for the Specs they offer
HMD Global yesterday announced the Nokia 2.1, 3GB RAM model of Nokia 3.1 and the Nokia 5.1 for Indian markets. The devices will be available starting August 12th via Paytm Mall, Nokia's website, and Offline retail stores.

The Nokia 2.1 is priced at ₹6,999, Nokia 3.1 (2GB) at ₹10,499, (3GB) at ₹11,999, and Nokia 5.1 at ₹14,499. It seems that Nokia love adding ₹1000 - ₹2000 to their retail prices year-over-year. 

Last year, the Nokia 3 was launched with a price of ₹9,499 for the base variant, while the Nokia 5 was ₹12,899. Such a price increase, with these specifications.

Nokia 3.1 has a 5.2-inch HD+ Display, MediaTek 6750 CPU with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, 2990mAh Battery. Nokia 5.1 (₹14,499) is powered by Helio P18, not even Helio P60 which can be found in Realme 1 (₹ 10,990 - 4/64GB), 16MP Single Rear Camera, 8MP front shooter, 2970mah Battery... uh

The Pricing seems too high for the Specs they offer. I personally would choose Motorola Moto G6, or Redmi Note 5 Pro over Nokia 5.1 for that price.
