While the invite doesn't say much about the expected devices but it's widely expected that HMD Global may reveal more than one Android smartphones at MWC 2017. Rumours have suggested up to seven Android smartphones will be unveiled this year, apart from some feature phones.

Nokia's comeback smartphone, the Nokia 6, was unveiled earlier this month and it will be going on sale in China next week. Priced at CNY 1,699 (approximately Rs. 17,000), the Nokia 6 will go on sale in just Black colour in China.
