Nokia will be announcing a new smartphone it called the Nokia X71 on April 2 in Taiwan, according to reports coming out from the country. HMD Global has sent out invites for the event of the phone which will launched alongside the Nokia 9 PureView next month.
The naming scheme of the smartphone is new new and that’s why we’re not sure what to expect from the Finnish smartphone maker in a week’s time.
It is worth noting that the company did not unveil any premium mid-range device at MWC 2019 as it was expected to and instead launched handsets such as the Nokia 3.2, Nokia 4.2Â and Nokia 1 Plus. Hence it is presumed that the Nokia X71 is a successor of the Nokia 8.1.
Also, the press release reveals a particular tidbit about the main camera and that’s a 48-megapixel primary sensor along with a 120-degree super wide-angle lens which makes things interesting.
Prior to MWC 2019, there was a leak of the Nokia 8.1 Plus which hinted at a hole-punch design. It’s possible that the Nokia X71 is actually that device. In any of the way, there’s just a week left before the unveil event and we expect to see some official information regarding the new device soon.
