After a long absence, Nokia is about to enter in making smartphone and recently confirmed it would release their flagship phone which are Android-based smartphones for next year. The key specs of the Nokia flagship have leaked.
Tech Times confirmed that the HMD Global (Nokia's new parent company) will be present at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2017. The MWC 2017 will take place in Barcelona Spain from Feb 27 to March 2.
According to the screenshot of Weibo on the Gsm Arena post, there will possibly be two display sizes, the 5.2" and the 5.5" with QHD resolution. The Nokia phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 820 chipset and with it being released on 2017 will be competing with Snapdragon 835 devices.
Like the Nokia of old, the camera will bear Carl Zeiss branding. Since this is a comeback of Nokia for android version, this will surely be loaded with surprises.
The the new phone will most probably be made of metal casing that is waterproof. According to the report, HMD Global will be the one who will design the devices and Foxconn will manufacture the handset so it's not Nokia who will build the new smartphones. Nokia will oversee the production of the smartphone, act as a patent owner and provide the Nokia branding.
Nokia was once a titan on the mobile market, gaining worldwide recognition due to its durable and quality phone. Nokia has been considered as the top among all the other cellphone brands until the smartphone era until such time that the smartphone era caught Nokia a bit unprepared.
Android and iOs devices were able to take a good start while Nokia struggled with the Microsoft operating system. Nokia under Microsoft was not able to produce Android phones until the fourth quarter of 2016. Back in May this year, Microsoft decided to sell the feature phone business to FoxConn $350 million marking a sign that the Nokia brand will return to the market.
As always, it's best to have a little skepticism regarding upcoming smartphones which has not yet been officially announced.
