Juho Sarvikas, the Chief Product Officer at HMD Global took to Twitter to announce the Nokia X5 launch on July 18. A user questioned him to know whether the smartphone will be made available in the other markets such as India and Sri Lanka.

 

Sarvikas has responded to the tweet saying that the smartphone will not need a poll for the company to decide if they have to launch the device in other markets. Probably, he could be referring to the poll that was created before the global launch of the Nokia X6. Though he has tipped at the global launch of the Nokia X5, he hasn't revealed the markets that will get it first.
