Based on the rumors, HMD Global is expected to release Nokia 1, Nokia 4, Nokia 7, and Nokia 8 (2018) including Nokia 9 in 2018. It remains to be seen as to whether the company will release all of these devices during the event. In 2017, the company launched Nokia 3310, which generated huge hype among the community. We can expect the launch of the 4G variant of the Nokia 3310 since it emerged on TENAA pre-loaded with YonOS, which is based on Android.
The upcoming Nokia 9 will be equipped with a 5.5-inch OLED display, Snapdragon 835 processor, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage powered by 3250mAh battery. The rear side will have dual camera sensors comprising of 12MP and 13MP sensors. The handset will be pre-loaded with Android 8.0 Oreo. The device will be tagged as premium on par with the iPhone X.
Meanwhile, the Nokia 1 will be budget device and it will be loaded with Android Go variant of the Android Oreo. The Nokia 1 will offer a 5-inch HD IPS display, 1GB RAM coupled with 8GB expandable internal storage. The device will ship with lightweight apps such as Google Maps Go, Files Go, and Google Go. We don’t have any confirmation about the exact display size but it should be between 4 to 5-inch because of the low-end internal specifications.
We will continue to keep track of the developments related to MWC 2018 and provide you with updates. Stay tuned.
