Processor

The device runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC with the Adreno 509 GPU. It has an Octa Core Kryo 260 CPU with a clock speed of 1.8 GHz. It offers 3 GB and 4 GB RAM options and 32 GB and 64 GB storage options. The storage is expandable up to 400 GB using a microSD card. Under the hood, the device packs a 3,060 mAh battery. Nokia claims that it will offer full day performance.

Running Android Oreo out of the box, the device will receive Android 9 Pie by the end of November, according to the company. The Nokia 7.1 runs on Android One. This gives the device a clean stock Android experience and speedy software updates.

Camera

The Nokia 7.1 has a 12 MP + 5 MP dual rear camera setup. The 12 MP f/1.8 is a Zeiss lens which offers the highest quality, according to Nokia. We have seen that earlier Nokia devices with Zeiss lenses always offered a great camera experience and the same can be expected from the Nokia 7.1. The 5 MP lens is a depth sensor. This helps the camera create better portraits, and also support the live Bokeh feature.

As of now, Nokia only offers this feature in its Flagship Nokia 8 smartphone. The live Bokeh mode features a slider which lets the user control the amount of blur in the background while taking a shot. The device also features a 8 MP front facing camera with an aperture of f/2.0. The device also features an improved ‘bothie mode’ which allows users to take a picture using the front and rear camera at the same time. The camera also has AI integration which will improve its performance.

Price & Availability

The Nokia 7.1 has been launched and will reach the European market soon. However, there is no word about the India launch. The device will go on sale in the US for $ 349 which is around Rs 25,000 and is available in Gloss Midnight Blue and Gloss Steel colours.

The post ends with the silhouette of a smartphone and the date of the launch. This could mean that we will see the launch of just the Nokia 7.1 Plus tomorrow. However, a surprise from Nokia could also be on the way in the form of the Nokia 9. HMD Global had recently acquired the PureView trademark and it is rumoured that it will be using it in the upcoming Nokia 9 flagship. This adds strength to the rumours that the Nokia 9 has a penta camera setup.

Nokia 7.1 Plus:

The Nokia 7.1 Plus has been subject to many leaks before its launch, with the latest taking place today. According to the alleged renders, the device has a notch on its display and a dual camera setup along with a fingerprint reader on the back. The Nokia 7.1 Plus is reported to have a 5.84 inch IPS LCD display with a 19:9 aspect ratio and 2244 x 1080 px resolution display. It runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 SoC with 3 GB and 4 GB RAM options. It will have microSD card support with 32 GB and 64 GB memory options.

The device is said to have a 12 MP + 5 MP rear camera setup and a 8 MP front camera. Along with this, a report claims that the price of the upcoming device has been leaked and that it will start at around Rs 29,000 in India.

Nokia 9 PureView:

Although we might not see this smartphone being launched tomorrow, we are adding it as a bonus. The device has picked up a lot fo attention due to its unique penta camera setup. While the design isn’t appealing to many, the functionality of the 5 cameras could be something to look out for. The design is already patented by Zeiss, which adds strength to the rumours. Also, recent reports stating that the Nokia 9 will carry the PureView trademark push the odds in favour of such a device. The PureView trademark is only carried by devices which have a groundbreaking camera setup. Therefore, a lot can be expected form the Nokia 9.

New Nokia Smartphone Launching On 4th October

HMD Global has sent out invites for its launch event which will be held on 4th October in London. The invite announces that a new addition to the Nokia smartphone family will be made on the launch. This leaves us with two possible smartphones which might be launched, the Nokia 7.1 Plus or the Nokia 9 flagship device.

The Nokia 7.1 Plus is set to make its global debut soon and the device has popped up on various websites and forums. Recent leaks have also given us a good look a the device. It is highly unlikely that we might see the Nokia 9 device so soon. This is because of the possible delay in production and also the fact that the Nokia 8 Sirocco was launched earlier this year and is the current flagship for Nokia as of now. If we do see the Nokia 9 this year, it will be a great surprise.

Nokia 7.1 Plus specifications:

Nokia 7.1 Plus Leaked Render

The Nokia 7.1 Plus is set to be the successor to the popular Nokia 7 device which was launched earlier this year. The leaked renders do show us some external design changes which set it aside from the previous device. The Nokia 7.1 Plus has a notch, unlike its predecessor but sports a similar chin. The chin also houses the Nokia branding. The device also has a rear fingerprint scanner and a dual camera setup with a Zeiss lens. It also has the Android One branding on its back.

The device has a glass design, as we can see from the images. It is rumoured that the device will run on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 710 SoC.

Nokia 9 Specifications:

Alleged Nokia 9

The highlight of the Nokia 9 is its rumoured penta camera setup. This places five lenses in the rear camera setup, which is a patented technology by Zeiss. The device is also rumoured to have a 6 inch AMOLED display with an in-display fingerprint scanner. Reports suggest that the device will run on the Snapdragon 845 SoC and has 8 GB of RAM.

Other than this, the device is said to have a 3900 mAh battery, IP68 certification and 256 GB of storage. You can read in detail about the Nokia 9 here.

Nokia 9 Display Assembly Leaked, 5 Camera Setup And More

After reports surfacing about the Nokia 9’s massive battery, the display assembly of the upcoming flagship has been leaked. At first glance, we can see that the device is not sporting the popular notch and has stuck to a conventional design format.

This does not mean that HMD isn’t making design improvements. The chin doesn’t seem to be very broad and the bezels present on the device seem to be absolutely necessary for the functionality. This leaves the Nokia 9 with an impressive screen to body ratio, despite not having a notch.

Also Read: Samsung Might Have Just Confirmed The Nokia 9

Just yesterday, a leak had added to the list of possible features that the Nokia 9 may have. This is a massive 4150 mAh battery to go along with its penta camera setup and in display fingerprint scanner. If we consider all of these to be true and see the actual Nokia 9 with these features, it could be two steps in the right direction from HMD and Nokia.

Specifications:

The device will have a 6 inch AMOLED display with an in display fingerprint scanner, according to reports. The lack of a fingerprint scanner in the leaked image could point to the same. The device has the Snapdragon 845 SoC with 8 GB of RAM, according to reports. Along with this, it will reportedly have IP68 certification, 256 GB of storage and a 3900 mAh battery. The device will reportedly run Android One, giving a stock android experience.

Launch:

The launch of this highly anticipated device could be sooner than you thought. Reports tell us that the Nokia 9 had passed testing and entered production in August. If these are accurate, we should be seeing the launch in this month or the next. However, the same source also claims that HMD might be a bit behind schedule as it is very strict with the quality measures when it comes to the Nokia 9. Therefore, HMD might not start shipping the device or even reveal it until a considerable number of Nokia 9’s with no issues are produced.
