HMD Global has launched yet another smartphone priced under Rs 10,000 — the Nokia C32 in India. The latest smartphone borrows design elements from the more expensive Nokia X30 5G and features a glass sandwich design with a plastic frame and a metal chassis on the inside.

What sets the Nokia C32 apart from the competition is its “guaranteed” one-year free replacement policy. The company claims that it will replace the phone if there is a hardware or a manufacturing defect up to a year from the day of purchase.

While almost every phone offers one year warranty, HMD Global has gone above and beyond to offer a one-year free replacement guarantee offering a breather to users.
