Finnish smartphone maker HMD (which has also overtaken Nokia) has announced a new affordable series of smartphones in the country. HMD Crest Series has arrived in India and includes two smartphones- HMD Crest & HMD Crest Max. These are the first smartphones that HMD has brought to India and thus there is anticipation about how they will perform in the competitive Indian market.
Similar to HMD Skyline, the HMD Crest series also comes with a repairable design. Earlier it was supposed to be called Arrow Series, but later HMD dropped the name due to legal matters.
