Nokia 4.2 has finally been launched in the Indian market. HMD Global on Tuesday announced the release of the Nokia 4.2 in the country. Based on Google's Android One platform, the Nokia 4.2 was originally unveiled at the Mobile World Congress in February this year. The smartphone took a significant time to reach India shores despite being a smartphone that is likely to get a decent amount of traction in the country. The new Nokia smartphone comes with two interesting additions that have not been traditionally present in the company's phones – a dedicated Google Assistant button and a notification light in the power button. The Nokia 3.2, which was announced alongside Nokia 4.2 at MWC 2019, is still missing from HMD Global's India portfolio.

According to HMD Global, the Nokia 4.2 will go on sale beginning today at the company's own online store, which will be carrying it exclusively for a week, following which it will also become available via select retail outlets including Croma, Reliance, Sangeetha, Poorvika, Big C, and MyG beginning May 14. The sales of the phone will expand to all major retail outlets across the country on May 21.

In terms of the launch offers, HMD Global is offering Rs. 500 instant discount on the purchase of Nokia 4.2 via the company's online store.

Additionally, Vodafone Idea subscribers will receive Rs. 2,500 instant cashback by way of 50 vouchers of Rs. 50 each.

Further, Nokia 4.2 buyers will get free screen replacement, which will be valid for six months.
