The Nokia 43-inch TV has been confirmed on Nokia's official website. The Nokia India website reads, “The new 43 inch Nokia Smart TV with Sound by JBL is coming soon.” There is no release date or launch window or expected price available and we don't know if the launch of the TV will be delayed amidst the 21-day lockdown that India is facing. Nonetheless, information circulating the internet suggests that the TV will be priced at about Rs 30,999.

Nokia launched the 55-inch Android Smart TV back in December 2019 and it was quite feature-rich when it launched. Even though details of the 43-inch aren’t known, we can expect to house the same features of the 55-inch TV.
