Nokia 5 now available with 3 GB RAM; goes on sale in India tomorrow

HMD Global has announced that the Nokia 5 will be available in a new configuration with 3 GB RAM.

Launched in July in India, the Nokia 5 was powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and included 2 GB RAM, which has now changed to 3 GB.

Nokia 5 has already forged a reputation for being a beautifully crafted phone which punches well above its weight. Now we have added more memory so fans can get enhanced performance in the same precision engineered design.
