They are smartphones built for today’s reality – with features such as Mask mode and pre-loaded with Spotify and ExpressVPN. Increasingly, we are seeing that people are concerned about the security of their data. These two new mid-range Nokia phones will deliver a seamless mobile experience to fans, while ensuring their data stays safe and secure.”
