It's been a long time since Nokia went missing in action before this year, as the ill-fated Lumia series went out of the race but now they have returned with the help of HMD Global.

For a flagship, it's kind of "affordable" compared with other high-end ones at just RM2299, but does it deliver? That's what we're about to find out so keep on reading.
