Last week there was a leak in which the new Nokia handset, the Nokia 8.3 5G, was quoted as the first device to receive a 5G version available for sale in the USA. Now the smartphone is released for Verizon’s Ultra Wideband Network as Nokia 8 V 5G UW.
Juho Sarvikas, Chief Product Officer and Vice President North America, HMD Global, said: “We’ve been committed to delivering a Nokia phones-grade 5G experience on Verizon’s Ultra Wideband network before the end of 2020. Today, we make good on that promise. The Nokia 8 V 5G UW is our first affordable flagship carrier device on Android™ in the U.S., and it’s built on Verizon’s state-of-the-art 5G Ultra Wideband network. We’re four years into our Nokia phones journey as HMD Global and this is a milestone we’ll all remember.”
Brian Higgins, SVP – Device and Consumer Product, Verizon, said: “Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network is transformational as far as how consumers connect, and we’re thrilled to work with HMD Global to make that incredible shift even more accessible. The Nokia 8 V 5G UW lets customers watch and share content quickly, and with Verizon’s 5G built right, they’ll clearly experience the difference when connected to 5G Ultra Wideband.”
