If you haven’t heard of Nuu Mobile yet it’s probably because the brand hasn’t been seen in India, until today that is. The US-based company at an event in New Delhi on Wednesday officially marked its entry into the country with the launch of four new smartphones. Nuu Mobile is known for making affordable Android handsets and the Q500, Q626, M3, and X5 look to offer just that.
Nuu Mobile has been present in markets like the US, the UK, Indonesia, Jakarta, and others for a while. The company is now looking to get a piece of the Indian market that is currently dominated by the likes of Samsung, Xiaomi, Vivo, and Oppo to name a few in the budget to mid-range category. The first batch of phones from the company will look to offer affordable Android handsets in a variety of designs to target consumers of all kinds.

The 4G VoLTE-enabled Q500, Q626, M3, and X5 range between Rs. 9,999 to Rs. 15,999 with the Q500 being the cheapest of the lot and the X5 on the other end of the price tag.
