Expected price and competition in India

The Nokia G60 5G has been announced in Europe for €320 (approximately ₹26,000). That said, we can expect the device to be priced at Rs 25,000 in India. However, the company could not confirm when it will launch the device in India and the pricing.

When it comes to competition, Nokia G60 5G can be covered in the same segment as Moto G82. It uses the same Snapdragon 695 SoC but with better specs like 6GB of RAM and support for improved fast charging technology. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord CE 2 Lite 5G comes with a processor and upgrades like a 64MP camera sensor and 6GB RAM at a lower cost.
